It has recently been argued that individual 1D quasicrystals can be ascribed 2D topological quantum numbers and a corresponding set of topologically protected edge modes. Here, we demonstrate the equivalence of such 1D quasicrystals to a…

In this work, we investigate the dynamic behavior and the topological properties of quasiperiodic elastic metasurfaces, namely arrays of mechanical oscillators arranged over the free surface of an elastic half-space according to a…

In materials that do not allow birefringent phase-matching or periodic poling we propose to use waveguides to exploit the tensor structure of the second order nonlinearity for quasi-phase matching of nonlinear interactions. In particular,…

We consider a nonlinear microcavity separating a waveguide channel into two parts so as the coupling between them is possible only due to the resonant properties of the microcavity. We provide a rigorous derivation of the equations used in…

We present a numerical study of electromagnetic reflection and cavity modes of 1D-sub-wavelength rectangular metallic gratings exposed to TM-polarized light. Computations are made using the modal development. In particular we study the…

For many years, quasicrystals were observed only as solid-state metallic alloys, yet current research is now actively exploring their formation in a variety of soft materials, including systems of macromolecules, nanoparticles and colloids.…

Quasicrystals (QCs) are a class of aperiodic ordered structures that emerge in various systems, from metallic alloys to soft matter and driven non-equilibrium systems. Within a mesoscale theory based on slowly-varying complex amplitudes for…

We develop the theory of nonlinear localised modes (intrinsic localised modes or discrete breathers) in two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystal waveguides. We consider different geometries of the waveguides created by an array of nonlinear…

We investigate the dynamics and topology of metastructures with quasiperiodically modulated local resonances. The concept is implemented on a LEGO beam featuring an array of tunable pillar-cone resonators. The versatility of the platform…

Automatic crystal orientation determination and orientation mapping are important tools for research on polycrystalline materials. The most common methods of automatic orientation determination rely on detecting and indexing individual…

We develop a theoretical framework for the quasi-low-dimensional confinement-induced resonances (CIRs) of particles with the arbitrary three-dimensional two-body interactions, based on the Huang-Yang pseudopotential and the treatment of…

Inhomogeneous metasurfaces have shown possibilities for unprecedented control of wave propagation and scattering. While it is conventional to shine a single incident plane wave from one side of these metastructures, illuminating by several…

Photonic resonance modes can be spectrally coupled to the vibrational modes of molecules in the mid-infrared regime through interactions between localized electric fields and nearby molecules. According to recent studies, radiative loss…

Mitigating low-frequency noise is particularly challenging due to its limited natural attenuation. This study aims to design viscoelastic composite microstructures that achieve both low acoustic reflection and high internal damping by…

Unidirectional waves are the waves propagating only in one direction and prohibited in opposite direction. This kind of waves can be surface waves realized by topological edge state or bulk waves in the media with time reversal and space…

A unifying description of lattice potentials generated by aperiodic one-dimensional sequences is proposed in terms of their local reflection or parity symmetry properties. We demonstrate that the ranges and axes of local reflection symmetry…

We propose a class of waveguides operating near cutoff such that electromagnetic energy is mainly bound to the cladding rather than the dielectric core to achieve subdiffraction confinement of light. The cladding incorporates an alternating…

Wave reflection and refraction at a time interface follow different conservation laws compared to conventional scattering at a spatial interface. This study presents the experimental demonstration of refraction and reflection of flexural…

We present a modal analysis of metal-insulator-metal (MIM) based metamaterials in the far infrared region. These structures can be used as resonant reflection bandcut spectral filters that are independent of the polarization and direction…

Convection offers a dynamic and flexible approach to achieving a variety of novel physical phenomena beyond pure conduction. Here, we demonstrate that thermal metamaterials with convection modulation enable the realization of non-Hermitian…
