[en] This bibliography is a compilation of unclassified publications of work done at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory for 1979. Papers published in 1979 are included regardless of when they were actually written. Declassification of previously classified reports is considered to constitute publication. All classified issuances are omitted. If a paper was published more than once, all places of publication are included. The bibliography includes Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory reports, papers released as non-LASL reports, journal articles, books, chapters of books, conference papers (whether published separately or as part of conference proceedings issued as books or reports), papers published in congressional hearings, theses, and US patents. The entries are arranged in sections by broad subject categories

[en] This publication lists all unclassified technical reports issued by the AAEC Research Establishment since 1956. It supersedes the List of Report Publications dated April 1974 and is the final cumulation of reports published between 1956 and December 1975. Future editions will list reports published from January 1976. An alphabetical author index and a KWIC index to the titles are included. (author)

[en] Based on the 1980 Mathematical Classification, this index classifies by subject matter, all works which are listed in A nonassociative algebra bibliography and Addenda to a nonassociative algebra bibliography. The works indexed are on nonassociative algebras, related to nonassociative algebras, or of historical interest in the development of nonassociative algebras

[en] We demonstrate for the first time a fast and easy nanoimprint lithography (NIL) based stacking process of negative index structures like fishnet and Swiss-cross metamaterials. The process takes a few seconds, is cheap and produces three-dimensional (3D) negative index materials (NIMs) on a large area which is suitable for mass production. It can be performed on all common substrates even on flexible plastic foils. This work is therefore an important step toward novel and breakthrough applications of NIMs such as cloaking devices, perfect lenses and magnification of objects using NIM prisms. The optical properties of the fabricated samples were measured by means of transmission and reflection spectroscopy. From the measured data we retrieved the effective refractive index which is shown to be negative for a wavelength around 1.8 μm for the fishnet metamaterial while the Swiss-cross metamaterial samples show a distinct resonance at wavelength around 1.4 μm.

[en] Transmission characteristics of a plasmonic MIM waveguide coupled with two ring resonators are investigated both numerically and analytically. It is shown that due to the field-driven interactions between the two ring resonators, the second-order resonant mode of the directly-coupled ring resonator is split into two resonances, and as a result, a clear transmission dip emerges on the transmission spectrum. Simulations also show that the splitting is not only sensitive to the geometry parameters, but also sensitive to the refractive index of the dielectrics filled in the ring resonators. The group index can be varied from positive to negative, and thus indicates the properties of normal and abnormal dispersion related to the slow- and fast-light feature. The proposed structure is not only helpful to the application of nanoscale plasmonic filters and nano sensors with its sensitivity up to 685 nm/RIU in the area of highly integrated optical circuits, but also paves a new way towards the realization of controlling the light speed.

[en] We study the problem of non-conventional Anderson localization emerging in bilayer periodic-on-average structures with alternating layers of materials, with positive and negative refraction indices n_a and n_b. Attention is paid to the model of the so-called quarter stack with perfectly matched layers (the same unperturbed by disorder impedances, Z_a = Z_b, and optical path lengths, n_ad_a = |n_b|d_b, with d_a and d_b being the thicknesses of basic layers). As was recently numerically discovered, in such structures with weak fluctuations of refractive indices (compositional disorder), the localization length L_loc is enormously large in comparison to the conventional localization occurring in the structures with positive refraction indices only. In this paper we develop a new approach, which allows us to derive the expression for L_loc for weak disorder and any wave frequency ω. In the limit ω → 0 one gets a quite specific dependence, L⁻¹_loc∝σ⁴ω⁸, which is obtained within the fourth order of perturbation theory. We also analyze the interplay between two types of disorder, when in addition to the fluctuations of n_a and n_b, the thicknesses d_a and d_b slightly fluctuate as well (positional disorder). We show how conventional localization recovers with the addition of positional disorder. (paper)
