For a two-dimensional black hole we determine the quasinormal frequencies of the Klein-Gordon and Dirac fields. In contrast to the well known examples whose spectrum of quasinormal frequencies is discrete, for this black hole we find a continuous spe
ctrum of quasinormal frequencies, but there are unstable quasinormal modes. In the framework of the Hod and Maggiore proposals we also discuss the consequences of these results on the form of the entropy spectrum for the two-dimensional black hole.
We establish a relationship between the electric magnetic dipole interaction force from a plane wave on a small magnetodielectric particle, the transport cross-section and the scattering asymmetry parameter, g. In this way, we predict negative g that
minimize the transport mean free-path below values of the scattering mean free path of a dilute suspension of both perfectly reflecting spheres as well as of those that satisfy the so-called Kerker conditions, like high permittivity dielectric ones.
High-permittivity dielectric particles with resonant magnetic properties are being explored as constitutive elements of new metamaterials and devices in the microwave regime. Magnetic properties of low-loss dielectric nanoparticles in the visible or
infrared are not expected due to intrinsic low refractive index of optical materials in these regimes. Here we analyze the dipolar electric and magnetic response of loss-less dielectric spheres made of moderate permittivity materials. For low material refractive index there are no sharp resonances due to strong overlapping between different multipole contributions. However, we find that Silicon particles with refractive index 3.5 and radius approx. 200nm present a dipolar and strong magnetic resonant response in telecom and near-infrared frequencies, (i.e. at wavelengths approx. 1.2-2 micrometer). Moreover, the light scattered by these Si particles can be perfectly described by dipolar electric and magnetic fields, quadrupolar and higher order contributions being negligible.
In this work we investigate the complex Leibniz superalgebras with characteristic sequence $(n_1,...,n_k|m)$ and nilindex n+m, where $n=n_1+...+n_k,$ n and m (m is not equal to zero) are dimensions of even and odd parts, respectively. Such superalgeb
ras with condition n_1 > n-2 were classified in cite{FilSup}--cite{C-G-O-Kh}. Here we prove that in the case $n_1 < n-1$ the Leibniz superalgebras have nilindex less than $n+m.$ Thus, we get the classification of Leibniz superalgebras with characteristic sequence $(n_1, ...,n_k|m)$ and nilindex n+m.
We present the description up to isomorphism of Leibniz superalgebras with characteristic sequence $(n|m_1,...,m_k)$ and nilindex $n+m,$ where $m=m_1+ >...+m_k,$ $n$ and $m$ ($m eq 0$) are dimensions of even and odd parts, respectively.
We study the coarsening of two-dimensional oblique stripe patterns by numerically solving potential and nonpotential anisotropic Swift-Hohenberg equations. Close to onset, all models exhibit isotropic coarsening with a single characteristic length sc
ale growing in time as $t^{1/2}$. Further from onset, the characteristic lengths along the preferred directions $hat{x}$ and $hat{y}$ grow with different exponents, close to 1/3 and 1/2, respectively. In this regime, one-dimensional dynamical scaling relations hold. We draw an analogy between this problem and Model A in a stationary, modulated external field. For deep quenches, nonpotential effects produce a complicated dislocation dynamics that can lead to either arrested or faster-than-power-law growth, depending on the model considered. In the arrested case, small isolated domains shrink down to a finite size and fail to disappear. A comparison with available experimental results of electroconvection in nematics is presented.
Light transmission through 2D subwavelength hole arrays in perfect-conductor films is shown to be complete (100%) at some resonant wavelengths even for arbitrarily narrow holes. Conversely, the reflection on a 2D planar array of non-absorbing scatter
ers is shown to be complete at some wavelengths regardless how weak the scatterers are. These results are proven analytically and corroborated by rigorous numerical solution of Maxwells equations. This work supports the central role played by dynamical diffraction during light transmission through subwavelength hole arrays and it provides a systematics to analyze more complex geometries and many of the features observed in connection with transmission through hole arrays.
