An acoustic standing wave acts as a lattice of evenly spaced potential energy wells for sub-wavelength-scale objects. Trapped particles interact with each other by exchanging waves that they scatter from the standing wave. Unless the…
The magnonic crystal, which has a spatial modulation wave vector $q$, couples the spin wave with wave vector $k$ to the one with wave vector $k-q$. For a conventional magnonic crystal with direct current (dc) supply, the spin waves around…
We suggest a mechanism of energy transformation from fast magnetosonic waves propagating across a magnetic field to Alfv{\'e}n waves propagating along the field. The mechanism is based on {\it swing wave-wave interaction} [T.V.…
Real magnonic crystals - periodic magnetic media for spin wave (magnon) propagation - may contain some defects. We report theoretical spin wave spectra of a one dimensional magnonic crystal with an isolated defect. The latter is modeled by…
The interaction between waves and evolving media challenges traditional conservation laws. We experimentally investigate the behavior of elastic wave packets crossing a moving interface that separates two media with distinct propagation…
Acoustic waves in a linear time-invariant medium are generally reciprocal; however, reciprocity can break down in a time-variant system. In this Letter, we report on an experimental demonstration of nonreciprocity in a dynamic…
Recent experiments have demonstrated that it is possible to alter the dispersion of a medium without significantly altering its absorption or refractive index and that this may be done while a wave propagates through the medium. This…
We investigate wave mixing effects in a phononic crystal that couples the wave dynamics of two channels -- primary and control ones -- via a variable stiffness mechanism. We demonstrate analytically and numerically that the wave…
When propagating through periodically structured media, i. e. photonic crystals, optical waves will be modulated with the periodicity. As a result, the dispersion of waves will no longer behave as in a free space, and so called frequency…
Coupling between spatially separated magnets can be mediated by excitations such as photons and phonons, which can be characterized as coherent coupling and dissipative coupling with real and imaginary coupling rate. We theoretically…
We consider a 1D chain of fractional vortices in a long Josephson junction with alternating $\pm\kappa$ phase discontinuities. Since each vortex has its own eigenfrequency, the inter-vortex coupling results in eigenmode splitting and in the…
This work presents a mechanism by which non-reciprocal wave transmission is achieved in a class of gyric metamaterial lattices with embedded rotating elements. A modulation of the device's angular momentum is obtained via prescribed…
This paper examines the energetics of a convective flow subject to an oscillation with a period $t_{\rm osc}$ much smaller than the convective timescale $t_{\rm conv}$, allowing for compressibility and uniform rotation. We show that the…
The oscillatory interlayer exchange interaction between two magnetic layers separated by a metallic spacer is one of the few coherent quantum phenomena that persist at room temperature. Here we show that this interaction can be controlled…
We study the stationary dynamics of energy exchange in an ensemble of phase oscillators, coupled through a mean-field mechanical interaction and added with friction and an external periodic excitation. The degree of entrainment between…
Negative refraction is a peculiar wave propagation phenomenon that occurs when a wave crosses a boundary between a regular medium and a medium with both constitutive parameters negative at the given frequency. The phase and group velocities…
Geophysical fluids such as the ocean and atmosphere can be stratified: their density depends on the depth. As a consequence, they can host internal gravity waves that propagate in the bulk of the fluid, far from the surface. These waves can…
We identify a new type of pattern formation in spatially distributed active systems. We simulate one-dimensional two-component systems with predator-prey local interaction and pursuit-evasion taxis between the components. In a sufficiently…
A bouncing droplet, self-propelled by its interaction with the waves it generates, forms a classical wave-particle association called a "walker." Previous works have demonstrated that the dynamics of a single walker is driven by its global…
We introduce a homogenization approach to characterize the dynamical response of a generic dispersive spacetime crystal in the long-wavelength limit. The theory is applied to dispersive spacetime platforms with a travelling-wave modulation.…
