Electromagnetic field on a photothermal semiconducting voids medium under Lord–Shulman and refined multi-phase lag models in thermoelasticity

This study investigates the contemporary thermoelasticity theories in a photothermal semiconducting medium with voids influenced by the electromagnetic field. Boundary conditions of the phenomenon were based on the equations that regulate it concerning the stresses, carrier density, change in volume fraction field and temperature on the surface space. The equations were solved in normal mode technique, and the results are displayed by graphs. A comparison has been made with the findings of the literature when neglecting the new external parameters. The findings show that the presence or absence of electromagnetic field and carrier density significantly impacts on the phenomenon. From the results obtained, it is clear that the effects of electromagnetic field, carrier density, volume fraction and thermal relaxation times are very pronounced and applicable in diverse fields including geophysics, astronomy, engineering, biology, etc.
