Investigation of nodal domains in a chaotic three-dimensional microwave rough billiard with the translational symmetry

We show that using the concept of the two-dimensional level number N_{|} one can experimentally study of the nodal domains in a three-dimensional (3D) microwave chaotic rough billiard with the translational symmetry. Nodal domains are regions where a wave function has a definite sign. We found the dependence of the number of nodal domains aleph_{N_{|}} lying on the cross-sectional planes of the cavity on the two-dimensional level number N_{|}. We demonstrate that in the limit N_{|} -> infinity the least squares fit of the experimental data reveals the asymptotic ratio aleph_{N_{|}}/N_{|} = 0.059 +- 0.029 that is close to the theoretical prediction aleph_{N_{|}}/N_{|} = 0.062. This result is in good agreement with the predictions of percolation theory.

Experimental investigation of electric field distributions in a chaotic 3D microwave rough billiard

We present the first experimental study of the electric field distributions E_N of a three-dimensional (3D) microwave chaotic rough billiard with the translational symmetry. The translational symmetry means that the cross-section of the billiard is invariant under translation along z direction. The 3D electric field distributions were measured up to the level number N = 489. In this way the experimental spatial correlation functions C_{N,p}(x,s) ~ < E_{N,p}(x+1/2*s) E_{N,p}^(*)(x - 1/2*s)> were found and compared with the theoretical ones. The experimental results for higher two-dimensional level number N_{|} appeared to be in good agreement with the theoretical predictions.

Experimental investigation of Wigner's reaction matrix for irregular graphs with absorption

We use tetrahedral microwave networks consisting of coaxial cables and attenuators connected by T-joints to make an experimental study of Wigner's reaction K matrix for irregular graphs in the presence of absorption. From measurements of the scattering matrix S for each realization of the microwave network we obtain distributions of the imaginary and real parts of K. Our experimental results are in good agreement with theoretical predictions.

Investigation of nodal domains in the chaotic microwave ray-splitting rough billiard

We study experimentally nodal domains of wave functions (electric field distributions) lying in the regime of Shnirelman ergodicity in the chaotic microwave half-circular ray-splitting rough billiard. For this aim the wave functions Psi_N of the billiard were measured up to the level number N=415. We show that in the regime of Shnirelman ergodicity (N>208) wave functions of the chaotic half-circular microwave ray-splitting rough billiard are extended over the whole energy surface and the amplitude distributions are Gaussian. For such ergodic wave functions the dependence of the number of nodal domains aleph_N on the level number N was found. We show that in the limit N->infty the least squares fit of the experimental data yields aleph_N/N = 0.063 +- 0.023 that is close to the theoretical prediction aleph_N/N = 0.062. We demonstrate that for higher level numbers N = 215-415 the variance of the mean number of nodal domains sigma^2_N/ N is scattered around the theoretical limit sigma^2_N /N = 0.05. We also found that the distribution of the areas s of nodal domains has power behavior n_s ~ s^{-tau}, where the scaling exponent is equal to tau = 2.14 +- 0.12. This result is in a good agreement with the prediction of percolation theory.
