Abstract

:
In the context of the two-temperature thermoelasticity theory, a novel mathematical–physical model is introduced that describes the influence of moisture diffusivity in the semiconductor material. The two-dimensional (2D) Cartesian coordinate is used to study the coupling between the thermo-elastic plasma waves and moisture diffusivity. Dimensionless quantities are taken for the main physical fields with some initial conditions in the Laplace transform domain. The linear solutions are obtained analytically along with unknown variables when some conditions are loaded at the surface of the homogenous medium according to the two-temperature theory. The Laplace transform technique in inversion form is utilized with some numerical algebraic approximations in the time domain to observe the exact expressions. Due to the effects of the two-temperature parameter and moisture diffusivity, the numerical results of silicon material have been introduced. The impacts of thermoelectric, thermoelastic, and reference moisture parameters are discussed graphically with some physical explanations.

1. Introduction

The spread of particles of one substance through those of another is called diffusion. Diffusion is the process by which concentrated liquids disperse when placed in water and by which odors disperse through the air. When particles disperse from places of high concentration, where there are many, to areas of low concentration, where there are fewer, diffusion occurs naturally. The interaction of moisture, heat, elastic, and electronic deformation can be seen in numerous engineering issues that are relevant to real-world applications. Mechanically applied additional stresses can significantly alter temperature and moisture distribution. As a consequence, there is a need to shed light on the relationship between mechanical deformation and diffusion induced by temperature and moisture.
An expanded theory of thermoelasticity put out by Lord and Shulman [1] substitutes a modified Fourier law that takes into account relaxation time parameters and a heat flux vector for the standard Fourier law. Another generalization of thermoelasticity was created by Green and Lindsay [2] using entropy inequality to place constraints on the governing equations. Sherief et al. [3] derived the variation principle for the governing equations and the equations for generalized thermoelasticity in an anisotropic medium. A new theory including energy dissipation in the propagation of thermal waves was put forth by Green and Nagdhi [4,5,6]. According to conductive temperature ( ϕ ) and thermodynamic temperature ( T ), Chen [7,8,9] created the two-temperature theory of thermoelasticity, which involves two temperature parameters (a). This hypothesis changed into the standard theory of heat conduction if (a) goes to zero [10].
A novel, generalized thermoelasticity model by Youssef [11] is based on two temperatures, T and ϕ , and it predicts that the temperature difference between the two is proportional to the heat supply ϕ ¨ i i with a nonnegative constant a. Within the Dual Phase Lag (DPL) model framework, Ezzat et al. [12] created a two-temperature magneto thermoelastic fractional order model. The two-temperature thermoelastic theory with temperature rate dependence was developed by Shivay and Mukhopahyay [13] (TRDTT). The conductive and thermodynamic temperature dependency on temperature rate is a foundational element of this theory. To get the expression for thermodynamic and conductive temperature, the impact of two temperatures on wave thermo-mechanical loading is investigated [14]. Abouelregal and others [15] introduced the Moore–Gibson–Thomson equation and a new thermoelasticity model based on fractional calculus, Fourier’s law of heat, and dual temperature theory was presented.
Sharma et al. [16] investigated the Rayleigh wave growth in an isotropic thermo-diffusive elastic half-plane. Aouadi [17] investigated the stability issues associated with a challenging thermoelastic diffusive problem. Lotfy and Hassan [18] employed normal mode analysis to examine the two-temperature theories in the generalized thermoelasticity. In the Dual Phase Lag Diffusion (DPLD) model setting, Kumar and Gupta [19] used the harmonic wave solution to get three coupled dilatational waves. The development of the Rayleigh wave in a thermoelastic half-plane with mass diffusion was studied by Kumar and Kansal [20,21,22]. The frequency equation for Rayleigh surface waves with mass diffusion in an isotropic thermodiffusive half-plane was developed by Kumar and Gupta [23]. We shall obtain a solution in the Fourier-transformed domain using the normal mode analysis technique. Applying the normal mode analysis requires making the assumption that all relationships are sufficiently smooth on the real axis to allow for the analysis of the normal modes of all these functions. The precise formulation for the temperature distribution, thermal stresses, and displacement components was obtained using the normal mode analysis [24,25,26,27,28,29,30]. When using two-temperature thermoelasticity with relaxation durations to study a variety of issues, Youssef and El-Bary [31] found that the outcomes are qualitatively distinct from those obtained when using one-temperature thermoelasticity. Fahmy et al. [32,33,34,35,36] studied the boundary element modeling and fractional boundary element solution of ultrasonic wave propagation according to the magneto-thermoviscoelastic medium in the context of the nonlinear generalized photothermal.
In the context of two-temperature theory, this paper investigates wave propagation in a photo-thermoelastic semiconductor medium under the effect of moisture using a moisture diffusivity model. When a photothermal transport process occurs at the free surface of a semi-infinite semiconducting medium, the problem is solved in two dimensions using thermoelasticity equations according to the moisture diffusivity. Finally, numerical computations have been carried out and graphically display when the inversion of Laplace transform is used.

2. Basic Equations

Assuming thermo-elastic semiconductor material has linear elastic properties and is transversely anisotropic homogeneous, the medium is examined during the photothermal transport phase, considering the overlap between plasma-thermal and moisture diffusion. The main four distributions are the carrier density (electronic diffusion) N ( r i , t ) , moisture concentration m ( r i , t ) , the temperature changes (thermal) T ( r i , t ) , and the displacement vector (elastic) u ( r i , t ) ( r i represents the position vector and t represents the time). The interaction between plasma-thermal-elastic wave and moisture diffusion equations can be expressed in tensor form as follows [37,38,39]:
N ( r i , t ) t = D E N , i i ( r i , t ) N ( r i , t ) τ + κ T ( r i , t )
ρ C e ( D T ϕ , i i + D T m m , i i ) = ρ C e T t E g τ N + γ t T 0 u i , j t
k m ( D m m , i i ( r i , t ) + D m T T , i i ( r i , t ) ) = k m m ( r i , t ) t E g τ N ( r i , t ) + γ m m 0 D m u i , j ( r i , t ) t
The motion equation in tensor form is written as follows:
ρ 2 u i ( r i , t ) t 2 = σ i j , j
The equation of the strain is:
ε i j = 1 2 ( u i , j + u j , i )
According to the two-temperature theory, the relationship between the heat conduction temperature and the thermo-dynamical heat temperature is as follows:
ϕ T = a ϕ , i i
where a is a two-temperature positive parameter (chosen). The general stress-tensor form with moisture concentration is:
σ i j = C i j k l ε k l β i j ( α t T + d n N ) β i j m   m , i , j , k , l = 1 , 2 , 3
where D T expresses temperature diffusivity, D m is the diffusion coefficient of moisture, D T m and D m T are coupled diffusivities, D E is the carrier diffusion coefficient, m 0 reference moisture, k m moisture diffusivity, C i j k l represents the isothermal parameters tensor of an elastic medium, ε k l is the strain tensor, and β i j   and   β i j m are the isothermal thermo-elastic coupling tensor material coefficient of moisture concentration, respectively. The thermal activation coupling is κ = N 0 T T τ , N 0 represents the equilibrium carrier concentration [33,35]. The quantities E g , ρ , τ , ( λ , μ ) , and   T 0 are the energy gap, the density, the lifetime, Lame’s elastic constants, and the reference temperature, respectively. On the other hand, γ t = ( 3 λ + 2 μ ) α T is the volume thermal expansion, α T the linear thermal expansion coefficient, C e the specific heat parameter, and δ n the difference between conductive deformation potential and valence band.
These are the 2D definitions of the physical quantities:
N t = D E 2 N N τ + κ T
ρ C e ( D T 2 ϕ + D T m 2 m ) = ρ C e T t E g τ N + γ t T 0 t ( u x + w z )
k m ( D m 2 m + D m T 2 T ) = k m m t E g τ N + γ m m 0 D m t ( u x + w z )
The motion Equation (4) has the following structure:
ρ 2 u t 2 = ( 2 μ + λ ) 2 u x 2 + μ 2 u z 2 γ t T x δ n N x γ m m x
ρ 2 w t 2 = ( 2 μ + λ ) 2 w z 2 + μ 2 w x 2 γ t T z δ n N z γ m m z
where γ t , m = β α m , T and δ n = β d n , β = 3 μ + 2 λ , 2 = 2 x 2 + 2 z 2 .
According to the two-temperature Equation (7), yields:
ϕ T = a 2 ϕ
The 2D constitutive equation has the following structure:
σ x x = ( 2 μ + λ ) u x + λ w z β ( α t T + d n N ) γ m m
σ z z = ( 2 μ + λ ) w z + λ u x β ( α t T + d n N ) γ m m
σ x z = μ ( u z + w x ) γ m m

3. Formulation of the Problem

We can add two scalar potential functions in their non-dimensional form as: u = Π x + Ψ z and w = Π z Ψ x . For more simplicity, the non-dimensional variants are introduced:
( x , z , u , w ) = ( x , z , u , w ) C T t * ,   t = t t * ( ( T , ϕ ) , N ) = ( γ t ( T , ϕ ) , δ n N ) 2 μ + λ ,   σ = σ μ ,   e = e ,   m = m
In the above equations, the dash is removed for convenience, yields:
( 2 q 1 q 2 t ) N + ε 3 T = 0
2 ϕ a 1 t T + a 2 2 m + a 3 N ε 1 t 2 Π = 0
( 2 a 4 t ) m + a 5 2 T + a 6 N a 7 2 Π = 0
( 2 2 t 2 ) Π T N a 8 m = 0
{ 2 α 2 t 2 } Ψ = 0
ϕ T = α 6 2 ϕ
The stress component takes the following form in the non-dimensional form:
σ x x = a 9 2 Π x 2 + a 10 2 Π z 2 + 2 2 Ψ z x a 9 ( T + N ) ) a 11 m
σ z z = a 9 2 Π z 2 + a 10 2 Π x 2 2 2 Ψ z x a 9 ( T + N ) a 11 m
σ x z = 2 Ψ z 2 + 2 2 Π x z 2 Ψ x 2
where
q 1 = k t * D E ρ τ C e q 2 = k D E ρ C e a 1 = C T 2 t D T a 2 = D T m γ t D T ( 2 μ + λ ) a 3 = ε 2 a 1 a 4 = C T 2 t D m a 5 = D m T ( 2 μ + λ ) D m γ t a 6 = E g ( 2 μ + λ ) t a 4 k m δ n τ a 7 = γ m m 0 C T 2 t k m a 8 = γ m 2 μ + λ a 9 = 2 μ + λ μ a 10 = λ μ a 11 = γ m μ ε 1 = γ t 2 T 0 t * k ρ ε 2 = α T E g t * τ d n ρ C e ε 3 = d n k κ t * α T ρ C e D E C T 2 = 2 μ + λ ρ , δ n = ( 2 μ + 3 λ ) d n t * = k ρ C e C T 2 α 6 = a t * 2 C T 2 , α = K μ C e
where ε 1 , ε 2 , and ε 3 can be called the thermoelastic coupling parameter, the thermo-energy coupling parameter, and the thermoelectric coupling parameter, respectively.

4. Harmonic Wave Analysis

Using the harmonic wave approach, the basic physical fields in 2D solutions are dissected and can be produced for any function (normal mode analysis) in the manner of [22]:
G ( x , z , t ) = G ¯ ( x ) exp ( ω t + i b z )
where the function G ¯ ( x ) represents the amplitude of the basic physical quantity G ( x , z , t ) , i = 1 , ω presents the complex time frequency, and expresses b the wave number in the z-direction. Equations (18)–(26) are solved using the normal mode approach, which is defined in Equation (27) and results in [25]:
( D 2 α 1 ) N ¯ + ε 3 T ¯ = 0
( D 2 b 2 ) ϕ ¯ α 2 T ¯ + a 2 ( D 2 b 2 ) m ¯ + a 3 N ¯ α 3 ( D 2 b 2 ) Π ¯ = 0
( D 2 α 4 ) m ¯ + a 5 ( D 2 b 2 ) T ¯ + a 6 N ¯ α 5 ( D 2 b 2 ) Π ¯ = 0
( D 2 α 6 ) Π ¯ T ¯ N ¯ a 8 m ¯ = 0
( D 2 α 7 ) ϕ ¯ + β T ¯ = 0
{ D 2 α 8 } Ψ ¯ = 0
σ ¯ x x = ( a 9 D 2 a 10 b 2 ) Π ¯ + 2 i b D Ψ ¯ a 9 ( T ¯ + N ¯ ) ) a 11 m ¯
σ ¯ z z = ( a 10 D 2 a 9 b 2 ) Π ¯ 2 i b D Ψ ¯ a 9 ( T ¯ + N ¯ ) a 11 m ¯
σ ¯ x z = ( D 2 b 2 ) Ψ ¯ + 2 i b D Π ¯
where D = d d x , α 1 = b 2 + q 1 + q 2 ω , α 2 = a 1 ω , α 3 = ω ε 1 , α 4 = a 4 ω + b 2 , α 5 = a 7 ω , α 6 = b 2 + ω 2 , α 7 = b 2 + β β = 1 a .
Eliminating ϕ ¯ , T ¯ , Π ¯ , N ¯ , and m ¯ between Equations (28)–(31), and (32) yields:
( D 10 Θ 1 D 8 + Θ 2 D 6 Θ 3 D 4 + Θ 4 D 2 Θ 5 ) { ϕ ¯ , m ¯ , N ¯ , T ¯ , Π ¯ } ( x ) e ( ω t + i b z ) = 0
where
Θ 1 = ( 2 b 2 a 2 a 5 a 2 a 5 α 1 a 2 a 5 α 6 a 2 a 5 α 7 a 5 a 8 α 3 a 2 α 5 + β + α 2 + α 3 ) ( a 2 a 5 ) , Θ 2 = 1 ( a 2 a 5 ) { b 4 a 2 a 5 + 2 b 2 a 2 a 5 α 1 + 2 b 2 a 2 a 5 α 6 + 2 b 2 a 2 a 5 α 7 + 2 b 2 a 5 a 8 α 3 + 2 b 2 a 2 α 5 + a 2 a 5 α 1 α 6 + a 2 a 5 α 1 α 7 + a 2 a 5 α 6 α 7 + a 5 a 8 α 1 α 3 + a 5 a 8 α 3 α 7 b 2 β b 2 α 3 β a 8 α 5 a 2 a 7 ε 3 + a 2 α 1 α 5 + a 2 α 5 α 7 + a 2 α 5 ε 3 a 8 α 2 α 5 - β α 1 - β α 4 - β α 6 + a 3 ε 3 - α 1 α 2 - α 1 α 3 - α 2 α 4 - α 2 α 6 - α 2 α 7 - α 3 α 4 - α 3 α 7 - α 3 ε 3 } , Θ 3 = 1 ( a 2 a 5 ) { b 4 a 2 a 5 α 1 b 4 a 2 a 5 α 6 b 4 a 2 a 5 α 7 b 4 a 5 a 8 α 3 b 4 a 2 α 5 2 b 2 a 2 a 5 α 1 α 6 2 b 2 a 2 a 5 α 1 α 7 2 b 2 a 2 a 5 α 6 α 7 2 b 2 a 5 a 8 α 1 α 3 2 b 2 a 5 a 8 α 3 α 7 + 2 b 2 β a 8 α 5 + b 2 a 2 a 7 ε 3 2 b 2 a 2 α 1 α 5 2 b 2 a 2 α 5 α 7 2 b 2 a 2 α 5 ε 3 + b 2 a 8 α 2 α 5 a 2 a 5 α 1 α 6 α 7 a 5 a 8 α 1 α 3 α 7 + b 2 β α 1 + b 2 β α 4 + b 2 β α 6 + b 2 α 1 α 3 + b 2 α 3 α 4 + b 2 α 3 α 7 + b 2 α 3 ε 3 + β a 8 α 1 α 5 + a 2 a 7 α 6 ε 3 + a 2 a 7 α 7 ε 3 - a 2 α 1 α 5 α 7 - a 2 α 5 α 7 ε 3 - a 2 a 8 α 5 ε 3 + a 7 a 8 α 3 ε 3 + a 8 α 1 α 2 α 5 + a 8 α 2 α 5 α 7 + β α 1 α 4 + β α 1 α 6 + β α 4 α 6 - a 3 α 4 ε 3 - a 3 α 6 ε 3 - a 3 α 7 ε 3 + α 1 α 2 α 4 + α 1 α 2 α 6 + α 1 α 2 α 7 + α 1 α 3 α 4 + α 1 α 3 α 7 + α 2 α 4 α 6 + α 2 α 4 α 7 + α 2 α 6 α 7 + α 3 α 4 α 7 + α 3 α 4 ε 3 + α 3 α 7 ε 3 } , Θ 4 = 1 ( a 2 a 5 ) { b 4 a 2 a 5 α 1 α 6 + b 4 a 2 a 5 α 1 α 7 + b 4 a 2 a 5 α 6 α 7 + b 4 a 5 a 8 α 1 α 3 + b 4 a 5 a 8 α 3 α 7 b 4 β a 8 α 5 + b 4 a 2 α 1 α 5 + b 4 a 2 α 5 α 7 + b 4 a 2 α 5 ε 3 + 2 b 2 a 2 a 5 α 1 α 6 α 7 + 2 b 2 a 5 a 8 α 1 α 3 α 7 2 b 2 β a 8 α 1 α 5 b 2 a 2 a 7 α 6 ε 3 b 2 a 2 a 7 α 7 ε 3 + 2 b 2 a 2 α 1 α 5 α 7 + 2 b 2 a 2 α 5 α 7 ε 3 + b 2 a 3 a 8 α 5 ε 3 b 2 a 7 a 8 α 3 ε 3 b 2 a 8 α 1 a 2 α 5 b 2 a 8 α 2 α 5 α 7 b 2 β α 1 α 4 b 2 β α 1 α 6 b 2 β α 4 α 6 b 2 α 1 α 3 α 4 b 2 α 1 α 3 α 7 b 2 α 3 α 4 α 7 b 2 α 3 α 4 ε 3 b 2 α 3 α 7 ε 3 a 2 a 7 α 6 α 7 ε 3 + a 3 a 8 α 5 α 7 ε 3 a 7 a 8 α 3 α 7 ε 3 a 8 α 1 α 2 α 5 α 7 β α 1 α 4 α 6 + a 3 α 4 α 6 ε 3 + a 3 α 4 α 7 ε 3 + a 3 α 6 α 7 ε 3 α 1 α 2 α 4 α 6 α 1 α 2 α 4 α 7 α 1 α 2 α 6 α 7 α 1 α 3 α 4 α 7 α 2 α 4 α 6 α 7 α 3 α 4 α 7 ε 3 } , Θ 5 = 1 ( a 2 a 5 ) { b 2 α 1 α 3 α 7 b 2 α 3 α 4 α 7 b 2 α 3 α 4 ε 3 b 2 α 3 α 7 ε 3 a 2 a 7 α 6 α 7 ε 3 + a 3 a 8 α 5 α 7 ε 3 a 7 a 8 α 3 α 7 ε 3 a 8 α 1 α 2 α 5 α 7 β α 1 α 4 α 6 + a 3 α 4 α 6 ε 3 + a 3 α 4 α 7 ε 3 + a 3 α 6 α 7 ε 3 α 1 α 2 α 4 α 6 α 1 α 2 α 4 α 7 α 1 α 2 α 6 α 7 α 1 α 3 α 4 α 7 α 2 α 4 α 6 α 7 α 3 α 4 α 7 ε 3 } .
The principle ordinary differential equation (ODE) was fixed by the factorization method in the manner described in (37):
( D 2 m 1 2 ) ( D 2 m 2 2 ) ( D 2 m 3 2 ) ( D 2 m 4 2 ) ( D 2 m 5 2 ) { ϕ ¯ , T ¯ , Π ¯ , N ¯ , m ¯ } ( x ) e ( ω t + i b z ) = 0
where m n 2 ( n = 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ) represent the roots when x . The following is the form that the solution to Equation (ODE) (39) takes (according to the linearity of the problem):
T ¯ ( x ) = n = 1 5 D n ( b , ω ) e m n x
The solutions of the other values can be represented similarly as:
N ¯ ( x ) = n = 1 5 D n ( b , ω ) e m n x = n = 1 5 H 1 n D n ( b , ω ) e m n x
Π ¯ ( x ) = n = 1 5 D n ( b , ω ) exp ( m n x ) = n = 1 5 H 2 n D n ( b , ω ) exp ( m n x )
m ¯ ( x ) = n = 1 5 D n ( b , ω ) exp ( m n x ) = n = 1 5 H 3 n D n ( b , ω ) exp ( m n x )
ϕ ¯ ( x ) = n = 1 5 D n ( 4 ) ( b , ω ) exp ( m n x ) = n = 1 5 H 4 n D n ( b , ω ) exp ( m n x )
The following form represents the solution to equation:
ψ ¯ ( x ) = D 6 ( b , ω ) e m 6 x
where m 6 = ± α 8 are the real roots of Equation (33). The displacement components can first be represented in terms of parameters in accordance with Equation (18) to produce the stress components:
σ ¯ x x = n = 1 5 H 5 n D n ( b , ω ) exp ( m n x ) 2 i b m 6 D 6 exp ( m 6 x )
σ ¯ z z = n = 1 5 H 6 n D n ( b , ω ) exp ( m n x ) + 2 i b m 6 D 6 exp ( m 6 x )
σ ¯ x z = n = 1 5 H 7 n D n ( b , ω ) exp ( m n x ) ( m 6 2 + b 2 ) D 6 exp ( m 6 x )
Since
u ¯ ( x ) = D Π ¯ + i b ψ ¯
w ¯ ( x ) = i b Π ¯ D ψ ¯
Then,
u ¯ ( x ) = n = 1 5 D n ( b , ω ) m n e m n x + i b D 6 ( b , ω ) exp ( m 6 x )
w ¯ ( x ) = i b n = 1 5 D n ( b , ω ) e m n x + D 6 ( b , ω ) m 6 exp ( m 6 x )
where D n , D n , D n , D n , and D n ( 4 ) , n = 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 are unknown parameters depending on the parameter b , ω . The relationship between the unknown parameters D n , D n , D n , D n , and D n ( 4 ) , n = 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 can be obtained when using the main Equations (28)–(35) and (36), which take the following relationship:
H 1 n = ε 3 m n 2 α 1 H 2 n = ( a 5 a 8 1 ) m n 4 + ( b 2 a 5 a 8 a 5 a 8 α 1 + α 1 + α 4 + ε 3 ) m n 2 + b 2 a 5 a 8 α 1 a 7 a 8 ε 3 α 1 α 4 α 4 ε 3 m n 6 + ( a 8 α 5 α 1 α 4 α 6 ) m n 4 + ( b 2 a 8 α 5 + a 8 α 1 α 5 + α 1 α 4 + α 1 α 6 + α 6 α 4 ) m n 2 b 2 a 8 α 1 α 5 α 1 α 4 α 6 , H 3 n = ( m n 6 + ( s 2 α 1 α 2 α 3 ) m n 4 + ( s 2 α 1 + s 2 α 2 a 3 ε 3 + α 1 α 2 + α 1 α 3 + α 3 ε 3 ) m n 2 + s 2 a 3 ε 3 s 2 α 1 α 2 ) ( ( m n 2 α 1 ) ( m n 2 a 2 s 2 a 2 a 8 α 3 ) m n 2 ) H 4 n = β ( m n 2 α 7 ) H 5 n = ( a 9 m n 2 a 10 b 2 ) H 2 n a 9 ( ( 1 + H 1 n ) ) a 11 H 3 n H 6 n = ( a 9 m n 2 a 10 b 2 ) H 2 n a 9 ( ( 1 + H 1 n ) ) a 11 H 3 n H 6 n = 2 I b m i H 3 i

5. Applications

In this section, we determine the parameters D n ( n = 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ) . We should suppress the unbounded positive exponentials at infinity in the physical problem. The constants D 1 , D 2 , D 3 , D 4 , D 5 , and D 6 must be selected so that the boundary conditions on the surface x = 0 (near the vacuum) take the form [40]:
(i) Mechanical boundary condition that the surface of the half-space is traction load
σ x x ( 0 , z , t ) = p 1 exp ( ω t + i b z )
(ii) The half-space’s surface must be traction-free as a displacement boundary condition:
u ( 0 , z , t ) = 0 .
(iii) Assuming that the boundary x = 0 is thermally insulated, we have
T ( 0 , z , t ) x = 0 .
(iv) The carriers have a limited chance of recombining when they reach the sample surface during the diffusion process. Therefore, the following can be the carrier density’s boundary condition:
N ( 0 , z , t ) x = s D e N .
(v) The moisture diffusion condition at the free boundary surface x = 0 is:
m ( 0 , z , t ) = 0 .
(viii) The conductive temperature condition at the free boundary surface x = 0 is:
ϕ ( 0 , z , t ) = ϕ 0 .

6. Numerical Results and Discussions

Temperature, displacement, moisture concentration, carrier density (electronic diffusion), conductive temperature, and normal distribution of stress are some of the physical quantities with numerical values that are calculated for this problem. Utilizing materials, the numerical simulation is carried out. The constants have been utilized in S.I. The plot is made using the unit and the MATLAB program. Table 1 lists the physical constants for Si and Ge for the lower medium [40]:

6.1. The Effect of Two-Temperature Parameter

In the case of moisture diffusivity, the first group (Figure 1) depicts how the primary fields in this phenomenon vary depending on the various values of the two-temperature parameter measured against the horizontal distance x . This category includes two cases, the first of which is when the two-temperature parameter does not disappear when a 0 . The one-temperature example applies here because the thermodynamic and conductive temperatures are equal. The two-temperature hypothesis is obtained in contrast when a > 0 . According to Figure 1, the carrier density in the two-temperature case and the one-temperature wave propagation exhibit the same behavior. The wave propagations have a different behavior in the other distributions (thermodynamic temperature, displacement, stress, and conductive temperature). The magnitude of all field distributions from this category is greatly influenced by the two-temperature parameter. In two instances of a two-temperature parameter, the physical fields meet the surface boundary criteria.

6.2. The Impact of Thermoelastic Coupling Parameter

Figure 2 (in the second category) displays the primary physical fields against the horizontal distance within the framework of photo-thermoelasticity theory with moisture diffusivity inside the two-temperature theory. All calculations are made under the moisture diffusivity when ε 3 = 7.8 × 10 36 and m 0 = 10 %  for Si material. The different types of the thermoelastic coupling parameter are discussed in each subfigure. The solid lines (Crystals 12 01770 i001) represent the case when ε 1 = 0.001 , the dashed lines (Crystals 12 01770 i002) express the case at ε 1 = 0.002 , and the dotted lines (Crystals 12 01770 i003) show the case at ε 1 = 0.003 . The thermodynamic temperature distribution ( T ) is shown in the first subfigure along with how the distance affects the dimensionless thermoelastic coupling parameters. Starting from a positive minimum temperature that satisfies the thermally insulated requirement, the thermodynamic temperature T rises rapidly in the first range until it reaches the maximum peak temperature close to the surface due to photo-excitation and moisture diffusivity. The distribution, on the other hand, shrinks in the second range to arrive at the minimum value distant from the surface. The electronic diffusive distribution is shown against the distance in variation values of the thermoelastic parameters in the second subfigure. However, the carrier density, which exhibits a similar quality characteristic, is not significantly affected by a slight change in the thermoelastic coupling parameters. The fourth subfigure describes the moisture concentration m distribution versus the horizontal distance x , while the third subfigure depicts the conductive temperature, which exhibits the same behavior as the first subfigure. For all three cases, the distribution of moisture content starts at zero. The distribution adopts an exponential pattern with smooth decrementing with ε 1 = 0.001 . On the other hand, due to moisture diffusivity, when ε 1 = 0.002 and ε 1 = 0.003 the distribution of moisture concentration dramatically declines in the first range, and it adopts exponential propagation behavior until it reaches a minimum value close to the zero line. The fifth subfigure shows how the amplitude of the stress force σ is increasing as a result of the mechanical loads’ tendency to raise the thermoelastic coupling parameters’ values. The displacement distribution with horizontal distance caused by moisture diffusivity and the thermal impact of photothermal stimulation for the rough surface is shown in the sixth subfigure. For all three thermoelastic coupling parameter scenarios, the displacement distribution begins at zero and climbs to maximum values close to the surface before decreasing exponentially until it approaches a minimum value close to the zero line [41]. These results are in agreement with what has been observed through practical experiments [42,43].

6.3. The Effect of the Thermoelectric Coupling Parameter

The main physical fields are depicted in Figure 3 (third category) versus a horizontal distance within the setting of the photo-thermoelasticity theory with moisture diffusivity inside the two-temperature theory. All calculations are carried out with the impact of the moisture diffusivity when ε 1 = 0.001 and m 0 = 10 %  for Si materiel. All subfigures discuss three cases of the thermoelectric coupling parameter. The solid lines (Crystals 12 01770 i004) represent the case when ε 3 = 7.8 × 10 36 , the dashed lines (Crystals 12 01770 i005) express the case at ε 3 = 8.8 × 10 36 , and the dotted lines (Crystals 12 01770 i006) show the case at ε 3 = 9.8 × 10 36 . The thermo-dynamical temperature distribution with variation in the dimensionless thermoelectric coupling parameters with distance is shown in the first subfigure. Starting at a positive minimum value that satisfies the thermally insulated requirement, the thermodynamic temperature rises quickly in the first range until it reaches the peak maximum value close to the surface because of photo-excitation and moisture diffusivity. The distribution, on the other hand, contracts in the second range to approach the minimum value far from the surface. The carrier density distribution is shown against the distance in variation values of the thermoelastic parameters in the second subfigure. However, the carrier density, which exhibits a similar quality characteristic, is not significantly affected by a slight change in the thermoelastic coupling parameters. The conductive temperature, which behaves similarly to the dynamical temperature, is depicted in the third subfigure. The distribution of moisture concentration m against horizontal distance x is shown in the fourth subfigure. For each of the three scenarios, the moisture concentration distribution starts from a positive value for all three cases. In the case of ε 1 = 0.001 , the distribution takes the exponential behavior with smooth decreasing. Still, on the other hand, when ε 1 = 0.002 and ε 1 = 0.003 , the distribution of moisture concentration decreases sharply near the surface, and it takes an exponential propagation behavior until it reaches a minimum value near the zero line due to moisture diffusivity. The fifth subfigure shows how the mechanical loads that tend to raise the value of the thermoelectric coupling parameters enhance the stress force σ amplitude. The displacement distribution u with horizontal distance caused by moisture diffusivity and the thermal impact of photothermal stimulation for the rough surface is shown in the sixth subfigure. For each of the three thermoelectric coupling parameter situations, the displacement distribution begins at zero, climbs to maximum values near the surface, and then decreases in an exponential propagation pattern until it reaches a minimum value close to the zero line.

6.4. Influence of Reference Moisture

Figure 4 (fourth category) shows the principle physical fields against the distance x with moisture parameter. All calculations are carried out under the thermoelastic couples ε 1 = 0.001 , ε 3 = 7.8 × 10 36 for Silicon (Si) material. Three cases of reference moisture m 0 are shown in Figure 4 with different physical field variations in relation to distance. The first represents the case of reference moisture when m 0 = 10 %  (Crystals 12 01770 i007), the second case of reference moisture field when m 0 = 20 %  (Crystals 12 01770 i008), and the third case of reference moisture field when m 0 = 30 %  (Crystals 12 01770 i009). All evaluations are made in the moisture field when ε 1 = 0.001 and ε 3 = 7.8 × 10 36 . From this figure, it is clear that the moisture field affects the wave propagation behavior of displacement, moisture concentration, stress force, temperature distributions, and carrier density distribution, but carrier density does not affect it.

6.5. The Comparison between Si and Ge Materials

The comparison between the elastic semiconductor materials silicon (Si) and germanium (Ge) is shown in Figure 5 (the fifth category). The values of the physical fields in this problem have been evaluated numerically when ε 1 = 0.001 and ε 3 = 7.8 × 10 36 under the influence of moisture field and the two-temperature parameter. According to this figure, the physical constant differences between Ge and Si materials have a significant impact on all wave propagation of the quantities T , m , u , σ s, and ϕ .

7. Conclusions

The two-temperature and photo-thermoelasticity theories are taken into consideration in the innovative model that is explored in two dimensions. With some initial and boundary conditions, the complicated governing equations are assumed to be dimensionless. According to thermal relaxation times, the differences between photo-thermoelasticity theories are taken into account. For the fundamental parameters under consideration, the impacts of moisture diffusivity are clearly seen in the distributions of wave propagation. However, the two-temperature parameter also has a significant influence on all wave propagations. It is observed that changes in the two-temperature parameters have a considerable impact on silicon semiconductor wave propagation. On the other hand, the model employed is extremely helpful for researchers and engineers working in the field of renewable energy in terms of enhancing the performance of solar cells, electrical circuits, and computer processors.
