The group velocity of a plasmonic guided mode can be written as the ratio of the flux of the Poynting to the integral of the energy density along the profile of the mode. This theorem, linking the way energy propagates in metals to the…
We identify a possible mechanism of the plasmon instabilities in periodically gated two-dimensional electron systems with a modulated electron density (plasmonic crystals) under direct current. The instability occurs due to the amplified…
Based on boundary condition and dispersion relation, the superluminal group velocity in an anisotropic metamaterial (AMM) is investigated. The superluminal propagation is induced by the hyperbolic dispersion relation associated with the…
The anomalous velocity has been derived so far based on the single-band approximation. In this paper, the anomalous velocity is derived accounting for multiple energy bands. It is shown that when multiple energy bands are considered, the…
We have experimentally observed superluminal and infinite group velocities in bulk hexagonal two-dimensional photonic bandgap crystals with bandgaps in the microwave region. The group velocities depend on the polarization of the incident…
This short note is a sequel to our previous papers on the asymptotic behavior of Bloch wave packet solutions of the wave equation in periodic media. The purpose is to prove that the group velocity for these Bloch wave packets is bounded by…
The nonlinear theory of collective plasmon-polariton propagation along the infinite chain of metallic nanoparticles is developed within RPA quasiclassical approach to surface plasmons in large nano-spheres (10-50 nm for radius) of Au or Ag.…
We analytically investigate the plasmons propagating in a homogeneous two-dimensional (2D) electron system, along the metal grating in the form of a periodic array of strip-shaped electrodes (gates) in the vicinity of the 2D system. We show…
Several approaches to quantum gravity suggest that Lorentz invariance will be broken at high energy. This can lead to modified dispersion relations for wave propagation, which can be concretely realized in effective field theories where the…
Recent experiments have shown that spatial dispersion may have a conspicuous impact on the response of plasmonic structures. This suggests that in some cases the Drude model should be replaced by more advanced descriptions that take spatial…
We consider Bloch states of weak spacetime-periodic perturbations of homogeneous materials in one spatial dimension. The interplay of space- and time-periodicity leads to an infinitely degenerate dispersion relation in the free case. We…
Recently, using supergravity analysis, a hyperbolic reflection group was found to underlie the structure of wall-crossing, or the discontinuous moduli dependence of the supersymmetric index due to the presence of walls of marginal…
Group velocity dispersion (GVD) in near-resonant hot atomic vapors is difficult to measure with standard pulse broadening or interferometric techniques, as absorption, pulse distortion and nonlinearities strongly affect the probe and reduce…
We study the gravitational influence of very large scale structures, as traced by clusters of galaxies, on the Local Group [LG] motion and the large scale flows. We derive from the distribution of Abell clusters within $300~$Mpc/h the…
Electron group velocity for graphene under uniform strain is obtained analitically by using the Tight-Binding approx- imation. Such closed analytical expressions are useful in order to calculate electronic, thermal and optical properties of…
Anomalous resonances in properly shaped plasmonic nanostructures can in principle lead to infinite absorption/gain efficiencies over broad bandwidths. By developing a closed-form analytical solution for the fields scattered by conjoined…
We consider the linear stability of two inviscid fluids, in the presence of gravity, sheared past each other and separated by an flexible plate. Conditions for exponential growth of velocity perturbations are found as functions of the…
Hyperbolic lattices are a new form of synthetic quantum matter in which particles effectively hop on a discrete tessellation of 2D hyperbolic space, a non-Euclidean space of uniform negative curvature. To describe the single-particle…
The plastic deformation of metal alloys localizes in the Portevin--Le Chatelier effect in bands of different types, including propagating, or type 'A' bands, usually characterised by their width and a typical propagation velocity. This…
The band structure of a crystal may have points where two or more bands are degenerate in energy and where the geometry of the Bloch state manifold is singular, with consequences for material and transport properties. Ultracold atoms in…
