We study the dynamic response of a granular chain of particles with a resonant inclusion (i.e., a particle attached to a harmonic oscillator, or a mass-with-mass defect). We focus on the response of granular chains excited by an impulse,…

We study the dynamics of one--dimensional discrete models of one--component active medium built up of spatially inhomogeneous chains of diffusively coupled piecewise linear maps. The nonhomogeneities (``defects'') are treated in terms of…
We formulate a model for a point defect embedded in a homogeneous multilattice crystal with an empirical interatomic potential interaction. Under a natural, phonon stability assumption we quantify the decay of the long-range elastic fields…
In calculations to date [1,2] of multi-layer stacks of dipolar condensates, created in one-dimensional optical lattices, the condensates have been assumed to be two-dimensional. In a real experiment, however, the condensates do not extend…
Lattices with a basis can host crystallographic defects which share the same topological charge (e.g.~the Burgers vector $\vec b$ of a dislocation) but differ in their microscopic structure of the core. We demonstrate that in insulators…
The motive of this work is to understand the complex spatial characteristics of finite-amplitude elastic wave propagation in periodic structures and leverage the unique opportunities offered by nonlinearity to activate complementary…
We study the low-energy two-body scattering in optical lattices with all higher-band effects included in an effective potential, using a renormalization group approach. As the potential depth reaches a certain value, a resonance of low…
