To control the light modulation process, Vanadium dioxide (VO<sub>2</sub>) nanorods are inserted into the central defect of the PhC waveguide. The full vectorial finite element method (FVFEM) is employed to perform the bandgap analysis, numerical modelling, and the light propagation characteristics inside the proposed PhC structures. Several configurations of VO<sub>2</sub> nanorods are studied to obtain the lowest insertion loss (<i>IL</i>) and the highest extinction ratio (<i>ER</i>). The obtained results reveal that the presented modulator achieves a low <i>IL</i> of 1.94 dB and a large <i>ER</i> of 10.5 dB by adding a rectangular array of VO<sub>2</sub> nanorods in the central defect of the PhC waveguide. The results obtained are promising compared to those reported in the literature.

The effect is named after Carlo Marangoni, who described it in 1865 as part of his doctoral thesis on droplets and liquid films. While Marangoni's contribution is rightly recognized, this article examines three earlier scientific publications in which the same effect was described experimentally. Published between 1833 and 1855, these works are largely unknown to the modern soft matter research community, partly due to linguistic and disciplinary barriers. This work aims to trace the research history of this important phenomenon by briefly reviewing the history of Marangoni flow prior to Carlo Marangoni and highlighting the often fragmented nature of scientific discoveries across different eras and languages.</p>","PeriodicalId":7896,"journal":{"name":"Annalen der Physik","volume":"538 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/andp.70228","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148174303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The idea of utilizing these special requirements is analogous to that of the Galerkin-Ritz method, which refers to using a class of functions respecting special requirements to express test functions used in variational optimization of the “energy” functional associated with a partial differential equation.
