Non-conventional resonances, both acoustic and photonic, are found in metallic particles with a toroidal nanopropeller geometry that is generated by sweeping a three-lobed 2D-shape along a spiral with twisting angle, ${\alpha}$. For both…

We build a mean-field model of plasticity of amorphous solids, based on the dynamics of an ensemble shear transformation zones, interacting via intrinsic dynamical noise generated by the zone flips themselves. We compare the quasi-static,…

It is shown that the connection of sufficiently fast flows with dynamical channels for particle escape in the Solar Corona is rather direct: it depends on their ability to deform (in specific cases to distort) the ambient magnetic field…

We study the far field characteristics of oval-resonator laser diodes made of an AlGaAs/GaAs quantum well. The resonator shapes are various oval geometries, thereby probing chaotic and mixed classical dynamics. The far field pattern shows a…

We study the tunneling of chiral electrons in graphene through a region where the electronic spectrum changes from the usual linear dispersion to a hyperbolic dispersion, due to the presence of a gap. It is shown that contrary to the…

The resonant tunneling phenomenon is well understood in quantum mechanics. We argue why a similar phenomenon must be present in quantum field theory. We then use the functional Schr\"odinger method to show how resonant tunneling through…
