Exponential localization of wavefunctions in lattices, whether in real or synthetic dimensions, is a fundamental wave interference phenomenon. Localization of Bloch-type functions in space-periodic lattice, triggered by spatial disorder, is…
We study the behaviour of the expectation value of the acceleration of a particle in a one-dimensional periodic potential when an external homogeneous force is suddenly applied. The theory is formulated in terms of modified Bloch states…

The Hatano-Nelson (HN) Hamiltonian has played a pivotal role in catalyzing research interest in non-Hermitian systems, primarily because it showcases unique physical phenomena that arise solely due to non-Hermiticity. The non-Hermiticity in…
Hydrodynamics is shown to induce non-Hermitian topological phenomena in ordinary, passive soft matter. This is demonstrated for the first time by subjecting a 2D elastic lattice to a low-Reynolds viscous flow. The interplay of hydrodynamics…
The intricate relationship between electrons and the crystal lattice is a linchpin in condensed matter, traditionally described by the Fr\"ohlich model encompassing the lowest-order lattice-electron coupling. Recently developed quantum…
The breakdown of Hooke's law marks the onset of nonlinear behaviour: when displacements become large, restoring forces weaken and conventional proportionality fails. In quantum materials, intense optical excitation can drive the crystal…
This paper investigates the dynamics of compact localized modes in one-dimensional flat-band elastic lattices. Flat dispersion arises from destructive interference between neighboring elements, resulting in a zero group velocity across all…
When classical systems fail to explore their entire configurational space, intriguing macroscopic phenomena like aging and glass formation may emerge. Also closed quanto-mechanical systems may stop wandering freely around the whole Hilbert…

Most of the research concerting crack propagation in discrete media is concerned with specific types of external loading: displacements on the boundaries, or constant energy fluxes or feeding waves originating from infinity. In this paper…
When a static electrical field is applied to a two-dimensional (2D) Dirac material, Landau-Zener transition (LZT) and Bloch-Zener oscillations can occur. Employing alpha-T3 lattices as a paradigm for a broad class of 2D Dirac materials, we…
