We present a toy model of an axion gauge field inflation scenario that yields viable density and gravitational wave spectra. The scenario consists of an axionic inflaton in a steep potential that is effectively flattened by a coupling to a…

We investigate the electromagnetic fields produced by the oscillating point electric or magnetic dipole placed in a spherical volume with nonzero time-independent effective axion field. Our analytical solution shows that the fields outside…

Motivated by recent photoemission experiments on the surface of topological insulators we compute the spectrum of driven topological surface excitations in the presence of an external light source. We completely characterize the spectral…

The axion electromagnetic anomaly induces an oscillating electric dipole for {\em any} static magnetic dipole. Static electric dipoles do not produce oscillating magnetic moments. This is a low energy theorem which is a consequence of the…

We study the problem of axion-photon coupling in the magnetic field influenced by gravitational radiation. We focus on exact solutions to the equations for axion electrodynamics in the pp-wave gravitational background for two models with…

We present a theory for nonlinear, resonant excitation of dynamical axions by counter-propagating electromagnetic waves in materials that break both $\mathcal{P}$ and $\mathcal{T}$ symmetries. We show that dynamical axions can mediate an…

We studied the dynamics of the so-called $\theta$-term, which exists in topological materials and is related to a hypothetical field predicted by Peccei-Quinn in particle physics, in a magnetic superlattice constructed using a topological…

Quantized responses are important tools for understanding and characterizing the universal features of topological phases of matter. In this work, we consider a class of topological crystalline insulators in $3$D with $C_n$ lattice rotation…

We present a concise review of selected parts of axion electrodynamics and its application to Casimir physics. We present the general formalism including the boundary conditions at a dielectric surface, derive the dispersion relation in the…

Since the latter half of the 20th century, the use of metal in optics has become a promising plasmonics field for controlling light at a deep subwavelength scale. Surface plasmon polaritons localized on metal surfaces are crucial in…

Three-dimensional topological insulators are characterized by insulating bulk state and metallic surface state involving Dirac fermions that behave as massless relativistic particles. These Dirac fermions are responsible for achieving a…

Topological polaritons (aka topolaritons) present a new frontier for topological behavior in solid-state systems. They combine light and matter, which allows to probe and manipulate them in a variety of ways. They can also be made strongly…

We present numerical simulations for the propagation of surface plasmon polaritons in a dielectric-metal-dielectric waveguide using COMSOL multiphysics software. We show that the use of an active dielectric with gain that compensates metal…

We report on the anharmonic signatures in dissipative polaritons' stationary energy distribution and thermodynamics under external periodic driving. First, we introduce a dynamic model for the dissipative anharmonic Jaynes-Cummings…

Chiral surface states in topological insulators are robust against interactions, non-magnetic disorder and localization, yet topology does not yield protection in transport. This work presents a theory of interacting topological insulators…

Topological properties of quantum materials are intimately related to symmetry. Here, we tune the magnetic order of the axion insulator candidate EuIn$_2$As$_2$ from its broken-helix ground state to the field-polarized phase by applying an…

We study the emergence of gauge couplings in the surface states of topological insulators. We show that gauge fields arise when a three dimensional strong topological insulator is coated with an easy-plane ferromagnet with magnetization…

Van der Waals materials such as thin films of transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) manifest strongly bound exciton states in the visible spectrum at ambient conditions that provide an ideal platform for exciton-photon couplings.…

We present a search for ultralight axion dark matter coupled to electron spins using a levitated ferromagnetic torsional oscillator (FMTO). This platform directly measures axion-induced torques on a macroscopic spin-polarized body,…

Optical metasurfaces have great potential to form the platform for manipulation of surface waves. A plethora of advanced surface-wave phenomena utilizing negative refraction, self-collimation and channeling of 2D waves can be realized…
