Photoconductive, electrical, and nonlinear optical phenomena exhibited by pure micro and nanostructured ZnO samples were analyzed. A hydrothermal approach was used to synthetize ZnO micro-sized crystals, while a spray pyrolysis technique was employed to prepare ZnO nanostructures. A contrast in the fractional electrical behavior and photoconductivity was identified for the samples studied. A positive nonlinear refractive index was measured on the nanoscale sample using the z-scan technique, which endows it with a dominant real part for the third-order optical nonlinearity. The absence of nonlinear optical absorption, along with a strong optical Kerr effect in the ZnO nanostructures, shows favorable perspectives for their potential use in the development of all-optical switching devices. Fractional models for predicting electronic and nonlinear interactions in nanosystems could pave the way for the development of optoelectronic circuits and ultrafast functions controlled by ZnO photo technology.","PeriodicalId":12435,"journal":{"name":"Fractal and Fractional","volume":"86 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2023-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138999545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To evaluate the effectiveness of this method, we first conduct an eigenvalue stability analysis and then validate the results with numerical examples, varying the shape parameter c of the radial basis functions. Notably, this method offers the advantage of being mesh-free, which reduces computational overhead and eliminates the need for complex mesh generation processes. To assess the method’s performance, we subject it to examples. The simulated results demonstrate a high level of agreement with exact solutions and previous research. The accuracy and efficiency of this method are evaluated using discrete error norms, including L2, L∞, and Lrms.","PeriodicalId":12435,"journal":{"name":"Fractal and Fractional","volume":"82 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2023-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139005718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The accurate simulation of Rayleigh waves in attenuation media is crucial for understanding wave mechanisms, layer thickness identification, and parameter inversion. Although the vacuum formalism or stress image method (SIM) combined with the generalized standard linear solid (GSLS) is widely used to implement the numerical simulation of Rayleigh waves in attenuation media, this type of method still has its limitations. First, the GSLS model cannot split the velocity dispersion and amplitude attenuation term, thus limiting its application in the Q-compensated reverse time migration/full waveform inversion. In addition, GSLS-model-based wave equation is usually numerically solved using staggered-grid finite-difference (SGFD) method, which may result in the numerical dispersion due to the harsh stability condition and poses complexity and computational burden. To overcome these issues, we propose a high-accuracy Rayleigh-waves simulation scheme that involves the integration of the fractional viscoelastic wave equation and vacuum formalism. The proposed scheme not only decouples the amplitude attenuation and velocity dispersion but also significantly suppresses the numerical dispersion of Rayleigh waves under the same grid sizes. We first use a homogeneous elastic model to demonstrate the accuracy in comparison with the analytical solutions, and the correctness for a viscoelastic half-space model is verified by comparing the phase velocities with the dispersive images generated by the phase shift transformation. We then simulate several two-dimensional synthetic models to analyze the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed method. The results show that the proposed method uses twice as many spatial step sizes and takes 0.6 times that of the GSLS method (solved by the SGFD method) when achieved at 95% accuracy.","PeriodicalId":12435,"journal":{"name":"Fractal and Fractional","volume":"26 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2023-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139008824","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Secondly, by combining with the fractional-order Leibniz–Newton formula, LKFs, and other analysis techniques, some less conservative stability criteria that depend on time delay and fractional-order information are given in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs).
