    Parametric dispersion and amplification of acoustohelicon waves in piezoelectric semiconductors (1991)

    Notes: Assuming that the origin of the nonlinear interaction lies in the second-order optical susceptibility arising from the nonlinear induced current density and using the coupled-mode theory, the parametric dispersion and amplification of acoustohelicon waves is analytically investigated in a longitudinally magnetized piezoelectric semiconductor of noncentrosymmetric nature. The relevant experiments have not been reported. The threshold value of the pump electric field E0th and its corresponding excitation intensity is obtained. The longitudinal magnetic field decreases the required magnitude of E0th for the excitation of parametric amplification. The phenomenon of self-defocusing of the signal in the prevailing case is found to be a consequence of the negative dispersive characteristics exhibited by the acoustohelicon waves. Numerical analyses are performed for an InSb crystal at 77 K, duly irradiated by frequency-doubled pulsed 10.6-μm CO2 lasers. The parametric gain constant is observed to be maximum when the cyclotron frequency ωc attains the magnitude equal to that of ω0, the incident laser frequency (=1.78×1014 s−1 ).

    Scattering of laser beam by acoustohelicon waves in magnetoactive noncentrosymmetric semiconducting crystals (1992)

    Notes: Using the coupled mode theory, an analytical investigation of scattering of laser beam by an acoustohelicon wave and the consequent amplification of the scattered modes and the acoustohelicon wave is carried out in a longitudinally magnetized semiconductor of a noncentrosymmetric nature. We have assumed the origin of nonlinear interaction to be the second order optical susceptibility arising from the nonlinear induced current density. The numerical estimations are made for n-InSb crystal at 77 K. The threshold pump electric field E0th is found to decrease with increasing wave number and decreasing scattering angle. The nonlinear dispersion characteristics for a right hand circularly polarized mode become positive for E0〈E0th and negative for E0(approximately-greater-than)E0th. The nature of a left hand circularly polarized mode is found to be just the reverse. The steady state gain constants for piezoelectric (gp), deformation (gd), and both cases (gb) are also obtained. The influence of the doping level on nonlinear dispersion characteristics and gain constants has also been considered.

    Anomalous width variations for ion acoustic rarefactive solitary waves in a warm ion plasma with two electron temperatures (1997)
    [S.l.] : American Institute of Physics (AIP)

    Notes: Anomalous width–amplitude variations were observed in large amplitude rarefactive solitary waves which show increasing width with increasing amplitude, contrasting the usual reciprocal relation between the square of the width and the amplitude, beyond a certain value of the plasma parameters [S. S. Ghosh, K. K. Ghosh, and A. N. Sekar Iyengar, Phys. Plasmas, 3, 3939 (1996)]. For the limiting maximum amplitude, the "increasing width" solitary wave tends to a double layer-like solution. The overall variation was found to depend crucially on the specific parameter space. From a detailed investigation of the above behavior, a plausible physical explanation has been presented for such increases in the width. It is found that the ions' initial kinetic energies and the cold electron concentration within the perturbed region play a significant role in determining the observed width–amplitude variation. This contradicts the investigation of Sayal, Yadav, and Sharma [Phys. Scr. 47, 576 (1993)]. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Forbidden regions in ion temperatures for ion acoustic compressive solitary waves for a plasma with two electron temperatures (1997)

    Notes: It is observed that, there exist certain forbidden regions in ion temperatures, for a compressive solitary wave, which do not have any solitary wave solution. These regions exist for a two- as well as a single-electron temperature plasma. A physical model is proposed to explain this phenomenon on the basis of the energy relation. It is revealed that a one-dimensional single warm ion fluid consists of two distinct energy components. A simple algebraic condition has been derived which expresses the balance between nonlinearity and dispersion for a fully nonlinear solitary wave. It shows that both the nonlinearity and dispersion decrease with increasing ion temperature and that the balance condition is well maintained for the whole spectrum of solitary wave solutions. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Nonlinear entropy production operators for magnetohydrodynamic plasmas (1995)

    Notes: A method for constructing closure relations based on the invariants of the tensors representing nonequilibrium thermodynamic forcing within the plasma is presented. This approach leads to closure relations that describe all higher-order forcing effects contained within the continuum description. Nonlinear convective-momentum transport and nonlinear momentum-exchange operators are constructed as applications of the method. Closure is achieved by relating the pressure tensor to invariants of the rate of strain tensor, and the momentum-exchange operator to invariants of the gradient of magnetic field tensor. These operators lead to positive definite viscous and Joule entropy production and enhance high wave number dissipative couplings over all other dissipative couplings. The nonlinear dissipative action is localized in physical space, where velocity and magnetic gradients are large, while allowing nearly ideal behavior elsewhere. The operators are computationally tested against the standard magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) operators using three-dimensional configurations that lead to vortex street formation and magnetic reconnection. The nonlinear operators allow greater spatial structure and have flatter modal energy spectra than the standard MHD dissipation operators. Closures that describe the plasma response to nonequilibrium thermodynamic forcing of all orders can be constructed using this approach. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Large Mach number ion acoustic rarefactive solitary waves for a two electron temperature warm ion plasma (1996)

    Notes: An exact analytical form of Sagdeev pseudopotential has been derived for a two electron temperature warm ion plasma, from which ion acoustic rarefactive solitary wave solutions could be investigated for a wide range of different plasma parameters, viz., ion temperature (σ), cold to hot electron temperature ratio (β), and initial cold electron concentration (μ). Explicitly large Mach numbers have been obtained for increasing hot to cold electron temperature ratios, and an analytical condition for the upper bound of the Mach number has been derived for such a rarefactive solitary wave. It is found that the width of these waves obey Korteweg–de Vries soliton-type behavior only for small amplitudes (i.e., eφ/Teff〈1) while for large amplitudes, the width of the rarefactive solitary waves increases with increasing amplitude. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Optical parameters of a magnetized space-charge neutral group IV semiconductor (2002)

    Notes: Using a hydrodynamic model of semiconductor plasmas, we report an analytical investigation of hot-carrier induced nonlinearity and its impact on the optical parameters (refractive index and absorption coefficient) of a magnetized, space-charge neutral group IV semiconductor. The carrier heating by the pump is assumed to induce nonlinearity in the medium through momentum transfer collision frequency ν of the carriers and space-charge neutrality of the medium. For the linear optical parameters (nl, al), both electrons and holes are found to contribute resonantly at high frequency of the pump (ω0(approximate)ωce). For the nonlinear optical parameters (n2, a2), the holes contribute significantly in the low pump frequency regime (ω0(approximate)ωch,) whereas in the high pump frequency regime (ω0(approximate)ωce), both kinds of carriers contribute resonantly in which a much larger contribution comes from the electrons. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Optical parameters of a magnetized semiconductor plasma with nonparabolic band structure (2001)

    Notes: The optical parameters (linear and nonlinear) and dispersion characteristics of a III–V compound semiconductor plasma subjected to a strong transverse magnetic field have been investigated theoretically. The nonlinearity induced in the medium has been attributed to heating of the carriers by the pump that results in modification of the electron effective mass in a nonparabolic conduction band and the momentum transfer collision frequency of electrons. The external magnetic field is found to have two consequences: (a) increasing the nonlinearity of the medium and (b) modifying the dispersion characteristics and determining the direction of energy flow between the pump and the generated waves. The plasma frequency ωp is found to enhance the magnitude of the optical parameters as usual. For a typical n-InSb semiconductor, linear refractive index and nonlinear refractive index coefficients are found maximum (nl=5.3, nnl=2×10−10 m2 V−2) whereas absorption coefficients al (linear) and anl (nonlinear) are found to vanish when ωo resonates with ωc(=1.138×1014 s−1). The present study once again establishes the device potentials of n-InSb. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Interference effects in photoreflectance and contactless electroreflectance spectra of CdTe films grown on Si substrate (1997)

    Notes: We report the observation of oscillatory features (OFs) in the photoreflectance (PR) and contactless electroreflectance (CER) spectra of CdTe films grown on Si substrate, at energies below the band gap of CdTe. The simultaneous observation of OF in the reflectance (R) spectrum having the same period as those in the PR and CER spectra (as also their dependence on film thickness) provides a direct proof for optical interference effects as being the source of these features. However, in the present case the amplitude of the OF gets damped towards shorter wavelengths while remaining nearly wavelength independent in the longer wavelength region indicating a modulation mechanism different from those reported earlier. A series of experiments and simulations performed by us seem to indicate that while in PR the principal mechanism is the pump beam induced periodic temperature changes which in turn modulates the optical path length of the CdTe film, in CER the mechanism is the electric field induced modulation of the subband gap refractive index of the film through the electro-optic effect. The damping of the OF has been explained on the basis of subband gap absorption by the CdTe film. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Amplification of acoustic waves in piezoelectric semiconductors: Effect of nonlinearity in electron effective mass and collision frequency (1986)

    Notes: This paper essentially seeks to provide a theoretical construct to the experimental studies on the acoustoelectric amplification in piezoelectric semiconductors showing that the attenuation of an acoustic wave crosses over to its amplification when electron drift velocity exceeds the acoustic wave velocity. In this paper, first, a phenomenological theory is developed to study the relative change in electron mass and collision frequency when an acoustic wave propagates through piezoelectric semiconductors. Then, analytically, we have shown that this nonlinearity in electron mass and collision frequency arising due to the electric vector of the field associated with the wave can also explain this behavior. Numerical computations are made for a typical case of n-InSb at 77 K.
