Photothermal excitation processes with refined multi dual phase-lags theory for semiconductor elastic medium

Abstract

The aim of this investigation is to study a refined multi-phase-lags generalized thermoelasticity theory and coupled plasma theory for a semi-infinite semiconductor elastic medium. The model is studied in context of the Photothermal transport process for isoropic homogenous two dimension medium. The governing equations describe the interaction between elastic-plasma-thermal waves. The normal mode technique is used to get the exact solutions analytically of main physical quantities under investigation. The thermal-plasma and mechanical loads are applied at the free surface of semiconductor medium to obtain the complete solution of the temperature, displacement, stresses and carrier density distributions. Some special cases have been obtained. Results will be displayed graphically and discussed. Comparisons are made between the different theories in thermoelasticity.
