Electro-chemical manifestation of nanoplasmonics in fractal media

Electrodynamics of composite materials with fractal geometry is studied in the framework of fractional calculus. This consideration establishes a link between fractal geometry of the media and fractional integro-differentiation. The photoconductivity in the vicinity of the electrode-electrolyte fractal interface is studied. The methods of fractional calculus are employed to obtain an analytical expression for the giant local enhancement of the optical electric field inside the fractal composite structure at the condition of the surface plasmon excitation. This approach makes it possible to explain experimental data on photoconductivity in the nano-electrochemistry.

Geometrical enhancement of the electric field: Application of fractional calculus in nanoplasmonics

We developed an analytical approach, for a wave propagation in metal-dielectric nanostructures in the quasi-static limit. This consideration establishes a link between fractional geometry of the nanostructure and fractional integro-differentiation. The method is based on fractional calculus and permits to obtain analytical expressions for the electric field enhancement.

On log--normal distribution on a comb structure

We study specific properties of particles transport by exploring an exact solvable model, a so-called comb structure, where diffusive transport of particles leads to subdiffusion. A performance of Lévy -- like process enriches this transport phenomenon. It is shown that an inhomogeneous convection flow, as a realization of the Lévy--like process, leads to superdiffusion of particles on the comb structure. A frontier case of superdiffusion that corresponds to the exponentially fast transport is studied and the log--normal distribution is obtained for this case.

Negative superdiffusion due to the inhomogeneous convection

Fractional transport of particles on a comb structure in the presence of an inhomogeneous convection flow is studied. The large scale asymptotics is considered. It is shown that a contaminant spreads superdiffusively in the direction opposite to the convection flow. Conditions for the realization of this new effect is discussed in detail.
