A novel class of circular resonators, based on a radial defect surrounded by Bragg reflectors, is studied in detail. Simple rules for the design and analysis of such structures are derived using a transfer matrix formalism. Unlike…

Rejection of unmitigated vibrational disturbances represents an ongoing dilemma in complex linkage systems. In this work, we present an inherent and self-reliant vibration isolation mechanism in architected periodic chains of serially…

We study fundamental optical gap solitons in the model of a fiber Bragg grating (BG), which is subjected to a periodic modulation of the local reflectivity, giving rise to a supergrating. In addition, the local refractive index is also…

A new mechanism of Bragg reflection is identified, one that, remarkably, occurs in a uniform medium and relies on resonant tuning of the medium's parameters. Due to uniformity, reflection ensues over a broad wavelength range, much like a…

We investigate the effect of small spatiotemporal modulations in subwavelength-dimensioned phononic crystals with large band gaps, on the frequency spectrum for elastic waves polarized in the plane of periodicity. When the radius of…

The flow of quantum information in local dephasing channels is analyzed over short and long times in case the structured reservoirs of frequency modes exhibit a spectral gap in the density of modes over low frequencies. The presence of the…

Scattering by (a) a single composite scatterer consisting of a concentric arrangement of an outer N-slit rigid cylinder and an inner cylinder which is either rigid or in the form of a thin elastic shell and (b) by a finite periodic array of…

We consider elastic waves in a two-dimensional periodic lattice network of Timoshenko-type beams. We show that for general configurations involving certain highly-contrasting components a high-contrast modification of the homogenization…

We investigate the existence of higher order topological localized modes in moir\'{e} lattices of bilayer elastic plates. Each plate has a hexagonal array of discrete resonators and one of the plates is rotated an angle ($21.78^\circ$)…

This paper proposes a new metamaterial structure consisting of a periodically porous elastomer with pore coatings. This design enables us to engender finite deformation by a contactless load. As a case study, we apply thermal load to the…

This paper is concerned with the asymptotic description of high-frequency waves in locally periodic media. A key issue is that the Bloch-dispersion curves vary with the local microstructure, giving rise to hidden singularities associated…

The propagation of intense acoustic waves in a one-dimensional phononic crystal is studied. The medium consists in a structured fluid, formed by a periodic array of fluid layers with alternating linear acoustic properties and quadratic…

We study longitudinal and transverse wave propagation in beams with elastic properties that are periodically varying in space and time. Spatiotemporal modulation of the elastic properties breaks mechanical reciprocity and induces one-way…

We investigate the existence and stability of travelling wave solutions in a continuum field of non-locally coupled identical phase oscillators with distance-dependent propagation delays. A comprehensive stability diagram in the parametric…

Elastic periodic lattices act as mechanical filters of incident vibrations. By and large, they forbid wave propagation within bandgaps and resonate outside them. However, they often encounter "truncation resonances" (TRs) inside bandgaps…

In this paper we propose a new optical ring resonator with a very high Q-factor, to be used as a basic element in a wide range of physics and engineering applications. We theoretically demonstrate that in large size conventional ring…

Inspired by the quantum spin Hall effect shown by topological insulators, we propose a plate structure that can be used to demonstrate the pseudo-spin Hall effect for flexural waves. The system consists of a thin plate with periodically…

We study band modulations and topological transitions in a one-dimensional periodic bead-on-string chain. Using an exact transfer-matrix formulation of the wave equation with periodically modulated mass density, combined with numerical…

We present an analytic theory of the diffraction of (matter) waves by a lattice in the "quasi-Bragg" regime, by which we mean the transition region between the long-interaction Bragg and "channelling" regimes and the short-interaction…

Using high resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy and low-loss electron energy loss spectroscopy, we correlate the local bandgap (Eg), indium concentration, and strain distribution across multiple InxGa1-xAs quantum wells…
