The effect of temperature and angle of incidence on defect modes in one-dimensional photonic crystal structure for TE and TM polarizations has been studied in 5-9µm wavelength region. A symmetric Si/air multilayer system, [(Si/air)5Si(air/Si)5] has been considered in this communi...
Exact solutions of nonlinear evolution equations play very important role to make known the inner mechanism of intricate physical phenomena. In this article, the novel -expansion method is applied to construct traveling wave solutions of the (1+1)-dimensional modified Benjamin-Bo...
In this work we explore an enhanced -expansion method to study the nonlinear evolution equations (NLEEs). Here we derive solitons, singular solitons and periodic wave solutions for the nonlinear (3+1)-dimensional Potential Yu–Toda–Sasa–Fukuyama (YTSF) equation. The obtained resul...
