报告题目：A stochastic methodology for the design of random meta-materials
报告摘要：We will present a stochastic computational methodology for generating and optimizing random meta-material configurations with non-overlapping geometric constraints subject to various types of covariances and distributions characterizing the randomness of the meta-material configurations [1]. The methodology developed consists of three main components: (1) A deterministic solver for electromagnetic scattering from multiple objects. (2) The Karhunen-Loève (K-L) expansion to represent the correlated configurations of the scattering objects. (3) The Multi-element probabilistic collocation method (ME-PCM) to provide flexibility in achieving desired distributions of the meta-materials. We employ random fields from the Spartan family which are models inspired by statistical physics, include covariance functions with damped oscillatory behavior and for which an analytic expression for the K-L expansion has been recently obtained [2]. We construct continuous (or refined discrete) random fields which we then project onto discrete locations to obtain non-overlapping scattering objects or random layers. The algorithm is applied to study light propagation through random layered heterojunctions, comprised of layers with different dielectric constants. We compute the transmission and reflection coefficients in terms of the transfer and scattering matrix formulation. We investigate the effect of random correlation of the layers' positions. We found that greater transmission, compared to the uniformly spaced layers, can be achieved for a layer configuration with an oscillatory spacing profile.
