We show that optical nonlinearities allow sub-wavelength beams to propagate in circular trajectories without being attenuated in spite of their partially evanescent spectrum. Such beams are exact solutions to Maxwell's equations with Kerr…

The quest to improve transparent conductors balances two key goals: increasing electrical conductivity and increasing optical transparency. To improve both simultaneously is hindered by the physical limitation that good metals with high…

We show that a class of compounds with $I$4/$mcm$ crystalline symmetry hosts three-dimensional semi-Dirac fermions. Unlike the known two-dimensional semi-Dirac points, the degeneracy of these three-dimensional semi-Dirac points is not…

We describe theoretically the process of multi-beam reflection in a two-dimensional electron system with a lateral potential barrier. Due to spin-orbital interaction, the reflection process leads to the formation of three beams with…
Nonreciprocal devices - in which light is transmitted with different efficiencies along opposite directions - are key technologies for modern photonic applications, yet their compact and miniaturized implementation remains an open…
Asymmetric transmission of circularly polarized waves is a well-established property of lossy, anisotropic, two-dimensionally chiral patterns. Here we show that asymmetric transmission can be observed for oblique incidence onto any lossy…
