Thermodynamics dictates that the specific heat of a system is strictly non-negative. However, in finite classical systems there are well known theoretical and experimental cases where this rule is violated, in particular finite atomic…

We identify a route towards achieving a negative index of refraction at optical frequencies based on coupling between plasmonic waveguides that support backwards waves. We show how modal symmetry can be exploited in metal-dielectric…
Metamaterials are effectively homogeneous materials that display extraordinary dispersion. Negative index metamaterials, zero index metamaterials and extremely anisotropic metamaterials are just a few examples. Instead of using locally…
The parameter retrieval is a procedure in which effective material properties are assigned to a given metamaterial. A widely used technique bases on the inversion of reflection and transmission from a metamaterial slab. Thus far, local…

Spatial tailoring of the material constitutive properties is a well-known strategy to mold the local flow of given observables in different physical domains. Coordinate-transformation-based methods (e.g., transformation optics) offer a…
Phasons are collective low-energy modes that appear in disparate condensed matter systems such as quasicrystals, incommensurate structures, fluctuating charge density waves, and Moir\'e superlattices. They share several similarities with…
