Due to the non-linearity of Hertzian contacts, the speed of sound $c$ in granular matter is expected to increase with pressure as $P^{1/6}$. A static layer of grains under gravity is thus stratified so that bulk waves are refracted toward…

Surface polaritons in an anisotropic media posses a strong dependence of the wavevector on the propagation direction, which is called the isofrequency contour. This can lead to the fact that polariton propagation is possible only in a…
