Lorenz oscillator

This equation describes a sinusoidal response at frequency, co, to the electric field component at co. This is the basis for the linear optical response. To calculate the optical properties of the Lorenz oscillator the polarization of the medium is obtained as... 

In general, AIN crystal samples of suitable size and of high quality have not been available for measurements of IR spectra. Only a limited number of experimental results have been published [12], In very small samples, Collins et al [13] measured the IR absorption and reflectivity spectra, and obtained TO = 666.7 cm 1, LO = 916.3 cm 1, e(oo) = 4.84, and s(0) = 9.14. Carlone et al [14] obtained Ei(LO) and Ei(TO) modes near 800 and 610 cm 1, respectively. MacMillan et al [15] reported IR reflectance of AIN thin fihns in the reststrahl region, and discussed their results using Lorenz oscillators. However, these data are not conclusive. Recently, Wetzel et al reported IR reflection in AlGaN heterostructures [16],... 

We have encountered oscillating and random behavior in the convergence of open-shell transition metal compounds, but have never tried to determine if the random values were bounded. A Lorenz attractor behavior has been observed in a hypervalent system. Which type of nonlinear behavior is observed depends on several factors the SCF equations themselves, the constants in those equations, and the initial guess. 

For a fuller treatment of dynamic stability problems, the reader is referred to Walas (1991), Seborg et al. (1989), Habermann (1976), Perlmutter (1972) and to the simulation examples THERM, THERMPLOT, COOL, STABIL, REFRIG 1 and 2, OSCIL, LORENZ, HOPFBIF and CHAOS. 

A major development reported in 1964 was the first numerical solution of the laser equations by Buley and Cummings [15]. They predicted the possibility of undamped chaotic oscillations far above a gain threshold in lasers. Precisely, they numerically found almost random spikes in systems of equations adopted to a model of a single-mode laser with a bad cavity. Thus optical chaos became a subject soon after the appearance Lorenz paper [2]. 

However the obtained system of the equations remains still too difficult for analyzing. For definiteness the (6,0) SWNT has been studied (N=6). To facilitate the solution of the equation system (8) we shall research first of all the case when only one oscillation mode (k=0) is induced. Obviously, the case corresponds to the oscillations, which are homogeneous along SWNT perimeter. For further simplification of the equation system we shall suppose that (pG = (p G, y/a = f/. Using Lorenz s invariance property for running... 

Since polarisability is a tensor quantity, the resulting optical properties may also be directionally dependent unless this tensor is isotropic. A simple example is illustrated by Fig. 1 where one can envisage that the interaction of the bond electrons will be greater for the imposed field that is oscillating in a plane parallel to the direction of the bond than for a field oscillating in a plane perpendicular to the bond, i.e. where the polarisability is highest. This interaction leads to a decrease in the velocity of the incident wave by an amount defined by the refractive index, n. For a non-absorbing system, the polarisability is related to the refractive index by the Lorenz-Lorentz equation ... 

The apparent oscillator strength is proportional to the integrated intensity under the molar absorption curve. To derive the formula, Chako followed the elassieal dispersion theory with the Lorentz-Lorenz relation (also known as the Clausius-Mosotti relation), assuming that the solute molecule is located at the center of the spherical cavity in the continuous dielectric medium of the solvent. Hence, the factor derived by Chako is also called the Lorentz-Lorenz correction. Similar derivation was also presented by Kortiim. The same formula was also derived by Polo and Wilson from a viewpoint different from Chako. 

For (T = 10, b = 8/3, Lorenz found that the set of equations yield chaotic oscillations time series whenever r exceeds a critical value r 24.74. The Lorenz attractor can be reconstructed fi om a time series with a delay time (t = 0.1). 

The model of inelastic scattering described in this chapter is based upon the assumption that the active molecule can be represented by a classical oscillating electric dipole whose strength is determined by the strength of the local field at the exciting frequency given by the Lorenz-Mie theory. These assumptions should be reasonable for many molecules embedded in weakly absorbing particles. Recent experiments on fluorescence confirm the qualitative features predicted by the model. 

In the first half of the century, these were mainly of a nonisothermal nature (Semenov, Bodenstein, Hinshelwood), while in the second half they concerned isothermal phenomena, in particular oscillating reactions (Belousov, Zhabotinsky, Prigogine, Ertl). In the 1950-60s special attention was paid to studying very fast reactions by the relaxation technique (Eigen). All reaction and reaction-diffusion nonsteady-state data have been interpreted based on the dynamic theories proposed by prominent mathematicians of this century, including Poincare and Lyapunov, Andronov, Hopf, and Lorenz. 

This model with only three variables, whose only nonlinearities are xy and xz, exhibited dynamic behavior of unexpected complexity (Fig. 7.2). It was especially surprising that this deterministic model was able to generate chaotic oscillations. The corresponding limit set was called the Lorenz attractor and limit sets of similar type are called strange attractors. Trajectories within a strange attractor appear to hop around randomly but, in fact, are organized by a very complex type of stable order, which keeps the system within certain ranges. 

Although the Lorenz model is not a model of chemical kinetics, there is some similarity in both model types the right-hand side is of the polynomial type with first- and second-order terms. In this chapter, we will present results of the analysis of a nonlinear model—also with three variables— the catalytic oscillator model.
