GRK 1294: Analysis, Simulation und Design nanotechnologischer Prozesse
Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse
Das Graduiertenkolleg wird von Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern des Forschungsschwerpunkts Partielle Differentialgleichungen der Fakultät für Mathematik am Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT) organisiert. Die Promovierenden und Postdocs sollen die mathematischen Aspekte konkreter aus der Nanotechnologie stammender Probleme bearbeiten. Die Anwendungsprobleme stammen hauptsächlich aus dem Bereich photonische Kristalle und der nichtlinearen Optik. Zum Beispiel besitzen photonische Kristalle Bandlücken bei der Leitung von Licht, wie sie auch von der Stromleitung bei Halbleitern her bekannt sind. Ein anderes Problem besteht darin, die Existenz und Stabilität räumlich lokalisierter Lichtpulse in periodischen und periodisch gestörten Materialien zu zeigen. Analog dazu sollen stehende Wellen in nichtlinearen Materialien untersucht werden. In vielen Anwendungen sind die optischen Eigenschaften des untersuchten Materials nicht bekannt und können nur indirekt durch Messungen des Streufeldes bestimmt werden. Bei der Analysis und der Simulation der diese Strukturen beschreibenden nichtlinearen partiellen Differentialgleichungen ergeben sich zahlreiche mathematische Schwierigkeiten.Diese reichen von der Behandlung der Nichtlinearitäten, dem gleichzeitigen Auftreten von kontinuierlichem und diskretem Spektrum, dem Auftreten unterschiedlicher Skalen bis hin zur Schlechtgestelltheit der Probleme. Bei den hier verwendeten Modellen treten die Maxwell-Gleichungen und die Nichtlineare Schrödinger-Gleichung in verschiedenen Geometrien auf. Die erfolgreiche Bearbeitung dieser Probleme erfordert eine Vielzahl von Methoden, die von mathematischer Modellierung über Analysis und Numerik partieller Differentialgleichungen bis zur Theorie inverser Probleme und Optimierung reichen. Zu nennen sind hier die Multiskalenanalysis, variationelle Methoden und Verzweigungstheorie, Fourier- und Blochwellenanalysis, adaptive Finite Elemente, unstetige Galerkin-Verfahren, implizite Runge-Kutta-Verfahren, exponentielle Integratoren und Splitting-Verfahren, Wavelet-Kollokation und direkte und inverse Streutheorie. Das Graduiertenkolleg bietet exzellente Möglichkeiten zur interdisziplinären Zusammenarbeit und Qualifikation. Durch das Graduiertenkolleg wurde die interdisziplinäre Kooperation der Arbeitsgruppen in der Analysis und Numerik signifikant verbessert. Zudem trugen die strukturellen Maßnahmen zur Verbesserung der Qualifizierungs- und Betreuungssituation von Promotionen in der Fakultät für Mathematik bei. Die Nachhaltigkeit der 9-jährigen Förderung spiegelt sich in der erfolgreichen Beantragung von SFB 1173 ”Wellenphänomene: Analysis und Numerik” wider, an dem alle PIs der zweiten Förderperiode beteiligt sind.
