Effects of variable thermal conductivity and magnetic field on the photo-thermoelastic wave propagation in hydro-microelongated semiconductor

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of variable thermal conductivity and magnetic field effects on magneto-photo-thermoelastic wave propagation in hydro-microelongated semiconductor media. A novel theoretical framework is developed by integrating microelongation effects with hydrodynamic interactions, which are rarely considered in microstructured semiconductor models. The governing equations are formulated using photo-thermoelasticity theory and solved analytically using the Laplace transform method. Numerical simulations are conducted to evaluate the effects of temperature-dependent thermal conductivity and external magnetic fields on key physical parameters, including temperature distribution, displacement, normal stress, and carrier density. The results demonstrate that hydrodynamic interactions significantly enhance wave oscillations and prolong the persistence of thermal and stress waves, emphasizing the crucial role of microstructural effects in semiconductor materials. These findings contribute to the optimization of semiconductor devices for photonic, optoelectronic, and thermal management applications.
