We study traveling waves for reaction diffusion equations on the spatially discrete domain $\Z^2$. The phenomenon of crystallographic pinning occurs when traveling waves become pinned in certain directions despite moving with non-zero wave…
We investigate the effect of white-noise disorder on the local phase stiffness and thermodynamic properties of a two-dimensional $s$-wave superconductor. Starting from a local attractive model and using path-integral formalism, we derive an…
The topological nature of the disorder of glasses and supercooled liquids strongly affects their high-frequency dynamics. In order to understand its main features, we analytically studied a simple topologically disordered model, where the…
Recent experiments have demonstrated that it is possible to alter the dispersion of a medium without significantly altering its absorption or refractive index and that this may be done while a wave propagates through the medium. This…
The collective oscillations of 1D repulsive Bose gas with external harmonic confinement in two different regimes are studied. The first regime is the mean field regime when the density is high. The second regime is the Tonks-Girardeau…
The diffusion of electronic wave packets in one-dimensional systems with on-site, binary disorder is numerically investigated within the framework of a single-band tight-binding model. Fractal properties are incorporated by assuming that…
We consider principal properties of various wave regimes in two selected excitable systems with linear cross-diffusion in one spatial dimension observed at different parameter values. This includes fixed-shape propagating waves, envelope…
We study the spreading of the wave function of a Bose-Einstein condensate accelerated by a constant force both in the absence and in the presence of atom-atom interactions. We show that, despite the initial velocity dispersion, the local…
Unidirectional wave propagation has emerged as a key concept in the dynamics of non-reciprocal mechanical and acoustic metamaterials. This work investigates two fundamentally distinct strategies for achieving directional wave propagation in…
Pinning and depinning of wave fronts are ubiquitous features of spatially discrete systems describing a host of phenomena in physics, biology, etc. A large class of discrete systems is described by overdamped chains of nonlinear oscillators…
We study travelling waves on a two--dimensional lattice with linear and nonlinear coupling between nearest particles and a periodic nonlinear substrate potential. Such a discrete system can model molecules adsorbed on a substrate crystal…
A quantum particle cannot in general diffuse through a disordered medium because of its wavelike nature, but interacting particles can escape localization by collectively percolating through the system. For bosonic particles this phenomenon…
The linear Boltzmann equation for elastic and/or inelastic scattering is applied to derive the distribution function of a spatially homogeneous system of charged particles spreading in a host medium of two-level atoms and subjected to…
We develop a multidimensional coupled channel method suitable for studying the interplay of bound state resonance and phonon assisted scattering of inert gas atoms from solid surfaces in one, two and three dimensions. This enables us to get…
Driven granular media constitute model systems in out-of-equilibrium statistical physics. By assimilating the motions of granular particles to those of atoms, by analogy, one can obtain macroscopic equivalent of phase transitions. Here, we…
An ensemble of uncoupled limit-cycle oscillators receiving common Poisson impulses shows a range of non-trivial behavior, from synchronization, desynchronization, to clustering. The group behavior that arises in the ensemble can be…
Disorder is more the rule than the exception in natural and synthetic materials. Nonetheless, wave propagation within inhomogeneously disordered materials has received scant attention. We combine microwave experiments and theory to find the…
Propagation of P and SV waves in an elastic solid containing randomly distributed inclusions in a half-space is investigated. The approach is based on a multiple scattering analysis similar to the one proposed by Fikioris and Waterman for…
Experimentally, the phase of the amplitude for electron transmission through a quantum dot (transmission phase) shows the same pattern between consecutive resonances. Such universal behavior, found for long sequences of resonances, is…
A fundamental manifestation of wave scattering in a disordered medium is the highly complex intensity pattern the waves acquire due to multi-path interference. Here we show that these intensity variations can be entirely suppressed by…
