We show that a simple model of 1D array of topological defects in a crystalline environment is able to guide acoustic waves, depending on the angle of the incident wave. We comment on a recently proposed geophysical mechanism explaining the…
Electron vortex beams hold great promise for development in transmission electron microscopy, but have yet to be widely adopted. This is partly due to the complex set of interactions that occur between a beam carrying orbital angular…

It is shown that when a circular resonator is deformed in a nonintegrable way, a symmetry breaking of escaping rays occurs which can dramatically modulate the outgoing wave even for small perturbations. The underlying mechanism does not…
Recently it is shown that dissipatively coupled laser arrays simulate the classical XY model. We show that phase-locking of laser arrays can give rise to the spontaneous formation of vortex and antivortex phase patterns that are analogous…
The beamforming performance of the uniform circular array (UCA) in near-field wideband communication systems is investigated. Compared to uniform linear array (ULA), UCA exhibits uniform effective array aperture in all directions, thus…

Unlike Newtonian fluids, viscoelastic fluids may break time-reversal symmetry at low Reynolds numbers resulting in elastic turbulence. Furthermore, under some conditions, instead of the chaotic turbulence, large-scale regular waves form, as…
Vortices in electron beams can manifest several types of topological phenomena, such as the formation of exotic structures or interactions with topologically structured electromagnetic fields. For instance, the wavefunction of an electron…
In an idealized way, some turbulent flows can be pictured by assemblies of many vortices characterized by a set of particle distribution functions. Ultrasound provide an useful, nonintrusive, tool to study the spatial structure of vorticity…
We consider a periodic waveguide array whose unit cell consists of a $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric quadrimer with two competing loss/gain parameter pairs which lead to qualitatively different symmetry-broken phases. It is shown that the…
We study the propagation properties of a single vortex in square Josephson-junction arrays (JJA) with free boundaries and subject to an applied dc current. We model the dynamics of the JJA by the resistively and capacitively shunted…
Coherent backscattering is a coherence effect in the propagation of waves through disordered media involving two or more scattering events. Here, we report on the observation of coherent backscattering from individual atoms and their mirror…

This work analyzes the dynamics of inhomogeneous, magnetically focused high-intensity beams of charged particles. While for homogeneous beams the whole system oscillates with a single frequency, any inhomogeneity leads to propagating…
Symmetry breaking states of matter can transmit symmetry breaking to nearby atoms or molecular complexes, perturbing their spectra. We calculate one such effect, involving the `axion electrodynamics' relevant to topological insulators,…
