U.S.-U.K. Cooperative Research: Theoretical Investigation of Nonlinear Waves in Magnetic and Magneto-optic Layered Structures

9224574 Maradudin这个为期两年的奖项支持英美在凝聚态物理领域的合作研究。调查人员是加州大学欧文分校的Alexei Maradudin和Richard Wallace，以及英国索尔福德大学的Alan D. Boardman。研究内容包括非线性电磁波在磁性和磁光层状结构中传播的理论研究。重点将放在具有有效非线性的层状结构上。非线性波的研究在光学计算和信号处理中具有重要的应用，特别是在改进磁性和磁光材料的开发中。拟议的合作将推进我们对非线性波在一系列材料中的作用及其作为波导的用途的认识。该项目结合了理论和实验方法。美国研究人员带来了非线性物理、表面磁等离子体极化子、表面声波和磁性材料中的波等方面的专业知识。这与英国研究者在导波方面的专业知识相辅相成。该项目还利用了英国关于磁性和磁光材料性质的实验。* * *

9224574 Maradudin This two-year award supports U.S.-U.K. cooperative research in condensed matter physics. The investigators are Alexei Maradudin and Richard Wallace of the University of California at Irvine, and Alan D. Boardman of the University of Salford in the United Kingdom. The research encompasses theoretical investigations of the propagation of nonlinear electromagnetic waves in magnetic and magneto-optic layered structures. Emphasis will be placed on layered structures that exhibit effective nonlinearity. The study of nonlinear waves has important applications in optical computing and signal processing, particularly in the development of improved magnetic and magneto-optic materials. The proposed collaboration will advance our knowledge of the role of nonlinear waves in a range of materials and their use as waveguides. The project integrates the theoretical and experimental approaches. The U.S. investigators bring to this collaboration expertise in nonlinear physics, surface magneto- plasmonpolaritons, surface acoustic waves and waves in magnetic materials. This is complemented by the British investigator's expertise in guided waves. The project also takes advantage of British experiments on the properties of magnetic and magneto- optic materials. ***
