Scattering of Helmholtz spatial optical solitons at material interfaces (2011)
Presentation / Conference
McCoy, E., Christian, J., & Mcdonald, G. (2011, August). Scattering of Helmholtz spatial optical solitons at material interfaces. Presented at First Annual Student Conference on Complexity Science, Winchester University, UK

The behaviour of light at the interface between different materials essentially defines the entire field of Optics. Indeed, the reflection and refraction properties of plane waves at the boundary between two dissimilar linear dielectrics are analysed...

Spatial solitons and instabilities in two-colour Helmholtz light fields (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Bostock, C., Christian, J., & Mcdonald, G. (2011, August). Spatial solitons and instabilities in two-colour Helmholtz light fields. Presented at First Annual Student Conference on Complexity Science, Winchester University, UK

Two-colour optical beams comprise a pair of light waves at two well-separated temporal frequencies, and which are coupled through system nonlinearity (e.g., the Kerr-type response in the host material of a planar waveguide). In addition to their fund... Read More about Spatial solitons and instabilities in two-colour Helmholtz light fields.

Substantial temperature dependence of transverse electron g*-factor in lead chalcogenide multi-quantum wells (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Leontiadou, M., Litvinenko, K., Clowes, S., Springholz, G., Schwarzl, T., Eibelhuber, M., …Murdin, B. (2011, August). Substantial temperature dependence of transverse electron g*-factor in lead chalcogenide multi-quantum wells. Presented at 15th International Conference on Narrow Gap Systems, Blacksburg, USA

We report significant temperature dependence of the transverse electron g*‐factor in symmetric lead chalcogenide multi‐quantum wells (MQWs). The g*‐factor values were extracted from the electron Larmor precessions recorded by means of a circularly po...

Pulses with relativistic and pseudo-relativistic aspirations (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Lundie, M., Lancaster, G., Hodgkinson, T., Christian, J., Mcdonald, G., & Chamorro-Posada, P. (2011, July). Pulses with relativistic and pseudo-relativistic aspirations. Presented at Waves 2011 - 10th International Conference on Mathematical and Numerical Aspects of Waves, Vancouver, Canada

Temporal solitons are robust self-localizing pulses that play a pivotal role in modern understandings of nonlinear wave phenomena. Here, we propose a new approach for describing pulses in dispersive nonlinear systems. By retaining the fuller generali...

A universal nonparaxial refraction law for spatial solitons (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Christian, J., Mcdonald, G., Bostock, C., McCoy, E., Sanchez-Curto, J., & Chamorro-Posada, P. (2011, July). A universal nonparaxial refraction law for spatial solitons. Presented at Waves 2011 - 10th International Conference on Mathematical and Numerical Aspects of Waves, Vancouver, Canada

The interaction of self-localizing and self-stabilizing wavepackets with interfaces is a fundamental nonlinear wave phenomenon. Indeed, interfaces play a crucial role as boundary conditions in a wide class of problem, ranging from guided-wave optics...

Complexity & fractality in simple optical systems (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Mcdonald, G., Christian, J., Heyes, A., Millington, N., Walsh, T., & Huang, J. (2011, July). Complexity & fractality in simple optical systems. Presented at Waves 2011 - 10th International Conference on Mathematical and Numerical Aspects of Waves, Vancouver, Canada

Complexity draws on commonality of universal phenomena and brings together research in fields that are traditionally quite disparate. A key thematic in the study of complex systems is pattern emergence. Spatial pattern formation can often be categori... Read More about Complexity & fractality in simple optical systems.

Community reaction to railway vibration at different times of the day (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Peris, E., Woodcock, J., Sica, G., Moorhouse, A., & Waddington, D. (2011, July). Community reaction to railway vibration at different times of the day. Presented at 10th International Congress on Noise as a Public Health Problem (ICBEN) 2011, London, UK, London

A number of studies have shown different sensitivities to noise exposure for day, evening and night, in particular for railway and air traffic. Lden has been accepted as a good indicator for predicting noise annoyance. In the same way, time of day is... Read More about Community reaction to railway vibration at different times of the day.
