  • Test of Self-Organization in Beach Cusp Formation Giovanni Coco,1 T
    JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 108, NO. C3, 3101, doi:10.1029/2002JC001496, 2003 Test of self-organization in beach cusp formation Giovanni Coco,1 T. K. Burnet, and B. T. Werner Complex Systems Laboratory, Cecil and Ida Green Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, California, USA Steve Elgar Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole, Massachusetts, USA Received 4 June 2002; revised 6 November 2002; accepted 13 November 2002; published 29 March 2003. [1] Field observations of swash flow patterns and morphology change are consistent with the hypothesis that beach cusps form by self-organization, wherein positive feedback between swash flow and developing morphology causes initial development of the pattern and negative feedback owing to circulation of flow within beach cusp bays causes pattern stabilization. The self-organization hypothesis is tested using measurements from three experiments on a barrier island beach in North Carolina. Beach cusps developed after the beach was smoothed by a storm and after existing beach cusps were smoothed by a bulldozer. Swash front motions were recorded on video during daylight hours, and morphology was measured by surveying at 3–4 hour intervals. Three signatures of self- organization were observed in all experiments. First, time lags between swash front motions in beach cusp bays and horns increase with increasing relief, representing the effect of morphology on flow. Second, differential erosion between bays and horns initially increases with increasing time lag, representing the effect of flow on morphology change because positive feedback causes growth of beach cusps. Third, after initial growth, differential erosion decreases with increasing time lag, representing the onset of negative feedback that stabilizes beach cusps.

  • Type-I Hyperbolic Metasurfaces for Highly-Squeezed Designer

Abstract Hyperbolic polaritons in van der Waals materials and metamaterial heterostructures provide unprecedenced control over light-matter interaction at the extreme nanoscale. Here, we propose a concept of type-I hyperbolic metasurface supporting highly-squeezed magnetic designer polaritons, which act as magnetic analogues to hyperbolic polaritons in the hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) in the first Reststrahlen band. Comparing with the natural h-BN, the size and spacing of the metasurface unit cell can be readily scaled up (or down), allowing for manipulating designer polaritons in frequency and in space at will. Experimental measurements display the cone-like hyperbolic dispersion in the momentum space, associating with an effective refractive index up to 60 and a group velocity down to 1/400 of the light speed in vacuum.

  • Waves and Weather
    Waves and Weather 1. Where do waves come from? 2. What storms produce good surfing waves? 3. Where do these storms frequently form? 4. Where are the good areas for receiving swells? Where do waves come from? ==> Wind! Any two fluids (with different density) moving at different speeds can produce waves. In our case, air is one fluid and the water is the other. • Start with perfectly glassy conditions (no waves) and no wind. • As wind starts, will first get very small capillary waves (ripples). • Once ripples form, now wind can push against the surface and waves can grow faster. Within Wave Source Region: - all wavelengths and heights mixed together - looks like washing machine ("Victory at Sea") But this is what we want our surfing waves to look like: How do we get from this To this ???? DISPERSION !! In deep water, wave speed (celerity) c= gT/2π Long period waves travel faster. Short period waves travel slower Waves begin to separate as they move away from generation area ===> This is Dispersion How Big Will the Waves Get? Height and Period of waves depends primarily on: - Wind speed - Duration (how long the wind blows over the waves) - Fetch (distance that wind blows over the waves) "SMB" Tables How Big Will the Waves Get? Assume Duration = 24 hours Fetch Length = 500 miles Significant Significant Wind Speed Wave Height Wave Period 10 mph 2 ft 3.5 sec 20 mph 6 ft 5.5 sec 30 mph 12 ft 7.5 sec 40 mph 19 ft 10.0 sec 50 mph 27 ft 11.5 sec 60 mph 35 ft 13.0 sec Wave height will decay as waves move away from source region!!!

  • Group Velocity
    Particle Waves and Group Velocity Particles with known energy Consider a particle with mass m, traveling in the +x direction and known velocity 1 vo and energy Eo = mvo . The wavefunction that represents this particle is: 2 !(x,t) = Ce jkxe" j#t [1] where C is a constant and 2! 1 ko = = 2mEo [2] "o ! Eo !o = 2"#o = [3] ! 2 The envelope !(x,t) of this wavefunction is 2 2 !(x,t) = C , which is a constant. This means that when a particle’s energy is known exactly, it’s position is completely unknown. This is consistent with the Heisenberg Uncertainty principle. Even though the magnitude of this wave function is a constant with respect to both position and time, its phase is not. As with any type of wavefunction, the phase velocity vp of this wavefunction is: ! E / ! v v = = o = E / 2m = v2 / 4 = o [4] p k 1 o o 2 2mEo ! At first glance, this result seems wrong, since we started with the assumption that the particle is moving at velocity vo. However, only the magnitude of a wavefunction contains measurable information, so there is no reason to believe that its phase velocity is the same as the particle’s velocity. Particles with uncertain energy A more realistic situation is when there is at least some uncertainly about the particle’s energy and momentum. For real situations, a particle’s energy will be known to lie only within some band of uncertainly. This can be handled by assuming that the particle’s wavefunction is the superposition of a range of constant-energy wavefunctions: jkn x # j$nt !(x,t) = "Cn (e e ) [5] n Here, each value of kn and ωn correspond to energy En, and Cn is the probability that the particle has energy En.

  • Double Negative Dispersion Relations from Coated Plasmonic Rods∗
    MULTISCALE MODEL. SIMUL. c 2013 Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics Vol. 11, No. 1, pp. 192–212 DOUBLE NEGATIVE DISPERSION RELATIONS FROM COATED PLASMONIC RODS∗ YUE CHEN† AND ROBERT LIPTON‡ Abstract. A metamaterial with frequency dependent double negative effective properties is constructed from a subwavelength periodic array of coated rods. Explicit power series are developed for the dispersion relation and associated Bloch wave solutions. The expansion parameter is the ratio of the length scale of the periodic lattice to the wavelength. Direct numerical simulations for finite size period cells show that the leading order term in the power series for the dispersion relation is a good predictor of the dispersive behavior of the metamaterial. Key words. metamaterials, dispersion relations, Bloch waves, simulations AMS subject classifications. 35Q60, 68U20, 78A48, 78M40 DOI. 10.1137/120864702 1. Introduction. Metamaterials are artificial materials designed to have elec- tromagnetic properties not generally found in nature. One contemporary area of research explores novel subwavelength constructions that deliver metamaterials with both a negative bulk dielectric constant and bulk magnetic permeability across cer- tain frequency intervals. These double negative materials are promising materials for the creation of negative index superlenses that overcome the small diffraction limit and have great potential in applications such as biomedical imaging, optical lithography, and data storage. The early work of Veselago [39] identified novel ef- fects associated with hypothetical materials for which both the dielectric constant and magnetic permeability are simultaneously negative. Such double negative media support electromagnetic wave propagation in which the phase velocity is antiparallel to the direction of energy flow and other unusual electromagnetic effects, such as the reversal of the Doppler effect and Cerenkov radiation.

However, light beams have finite transverse size, which leads to a modification of their wavevectors resulting in a change to their phase and group velocities. We study the group velocity of single photons by measuring a change in their arrival time that results from changing the beam’s transverse spatial structure. Using time-correlated photon pairs we show a reduction of the group velocity of photons in both a Bessel beam and photons in a focused Gaussian beam. In both cases, the delay is several microns over a propagation distance of the order of 1 m. Our work highlights that, even in free space, the invariance of the speed of light only applies to plane waves. Introducing spatial structure to an optical beam, even for a single photon, reduces the group velocity of the light by a readily measurable amount. One sentence summary: The group velocity of light in free space is reduced by controlling the transverse spatial structure of the light beam. Main text The speed of light is trivially given as �/�, where � is the speed of light in free space and � is the refractive index of the medium.
