Photothermal excitation and Thomson impact in a semiconductor microelongated thermoelastic medium with microtemperatures in the gravity

Abstract

The heating of solids occurs due to the absorbed light from the heat source. Photothermal spectroscopy is a method of measuring the optical absorption and thermal properties of semiconductor materials using high‐sensitivity spectroscopic techniques. In the present paper, the harmonic solution as an analytical solution is provided to describe the semiconductor photothermal microelongated medium with microtemperatures in the gravity field. The proposed photothermal microelongated model is subjected to an induced magnetic field to observe the Thomson effect. The numerical calculations for the components of thermal stresses, displacement, temperature field, and carrier density are obtained using the harmonic solution approach. The propagation of heat, elastic, and plasma waves, as well as the distributions of each investigated field, were examined and explained. The comparison is also used to see how the gravity, Thomson effect, and the photo‐excitation have more observable effects on the distribution of the medium fields during their values changes. With the development of technologies, the semiconducting materials were used widely in modern engineering. The study of wave propagation in a semiconducting medium will have important academic significance and application value.

Magneto‐thermoelastic interactions in a photothermal semiconducting medium with diffusion and microtemperatures

“…Sheoran et al [20] presented the reflection of plane waves at the free surface of an initially stressed rotating magneto-thermoelastic medium with diffusion and microtemperatures. Hilal [21] studied the thermodynamical interaction in a semiconducting microelongated medium with microtemperatures and gravity field. Sharma et al [22] examined the effect of magnetic field on a transversely isotropic nonlocal thermoelastic hollow sphere with voids in the context of dual-phase-lag model.…”
