A valley filter capable of generating a valley-polarized current is a crucial element in valleytronics, yet its implementation remains challenging. Here, we propose a valley filter made of a graphene bilayer which exhibits a 1D moir\'{e}…

The concept of topological energy bands and their manifestations have been demonstrated in condensed matter systems as a fantastic paradigm toward unprecedented physical phenomena and properties that are robust against disorders. Recent…

Non-Hermitian systems with parity-time symmetry have been found to exhibit real spectra of eigenvalues, indicating a balance between the loss and gain. However, such a balance is not only dependent on the magnitude of loss and gain, but…

In contrast to Hermitian systems, eigenstates of non-Hermitian ones are in general nonorthogonal. This feature is most pronounced at exceptional points where several eigenstates are linearly dependent. In this work we show that near this…

Exploring the deep insights into localization, disorder, and wave transport in non-Hermitian systems is an emergent area of research of relevance in different areas of physics. Engineered photonic lattices, with spatial regions of optical…

Following up on previous studies on parity-time-symmetric gain-loss bi-layers, and inspired by formal analogies with plasmonic waveguides, we study non-Hermiticity-induced wave confinement and guiding phenomena that can occur in…

We theoretically demonstrate a non-hermitian metamaterial exhibiting broadband and wide-angle nonreciprocity. The metamaterial consists of planar metal-dielectric layers with a Parity-Time (PT) symmetric distrubtion of loss and gain. With…

We show that two-dimensional non-Hermitian photonic crystals made of lossy material can exhibit non-trivial point gap topology in terms of topological winding in its complex frequency band structure. Such crystals can be either made of…

As a distinctive feature unique to non-Hermitian systems, non-Hermitian skin effect displays fruitful exotic phenomena in one or higher dimensions, especially when conventional topological phases are involved. Among them, hybrid…

We investigate theoretically tunable non-Hermitian skin effect in systems with gain and loss, and find that bipolar (quadripolar) non-Hermitian skin effect characterized by topological invariants in one (two)-dimensional system. We also…

Multilayer hyperbolic metamaterials consisting of alternating metal and dielectric layers have important applications in spontaneous emission enhancement. In contrast to the conventional choice of at least dozens of layers in multilayer…

Topological phases in spinless non-Hermitian models have been widely studied both theoretically and experimentally in some artificial materials using photonics, phononics and magnon. In this work, we investigate the interplay between…

The non-Hermitian systems exhibit extreme sensitivity to the boundary conditions. The change in the eigenspectrum with tunning boundary parameter is intimately connected to the non-Hermitian skin effect. The single-particle systems are…

Underpinning the field of "valleytronics" is the coupling of the helicity of circularly polarized light to the valley degree of freedom, and this remains the only known lightform to exhibit this remarkable effect. Here we show that on…

Valleytronics rooted in the valley degree of freedom is of both theoretical and technological importance as it offers additional opportunities for information storage and electronic, magnetic and optical switches. In analogy to…

Temporal interfaces introduced by abrupt switching of the constitutive parameters of unbounded media enable unusual wave phenomena. So far, their explorations have been mostly limited to lossless media. Yet, non-Hermitian phenomena…

In this work, we investigate non-Hermitian acoustic waveguides designed with periodically applied feedback efforts using electrodynamic actuators. One-dimensional spectral (infinite-dimensional) and finite element (finite-dimensional)…

Non-Hermitian photonic lattices combine the peculiar consequences of energy non-conservation with the physics of bandstructures, giving rise to a variety of exotic properties not found in conventional materials or photonic metamaterials. In…

The non-Hermitian skin effect is an intriguing physical phenomenon, in which all eigen-modes of a non-Hermitian lattice become localized at boundary regions. While such an exotic behavior has been demonstrated in various physical platforms,…

Non-Hermitian systems characterized by suitable spatial distributions of gain and loss can exhibit "spectral singularities" in the form of zero-width resonances associated to real-frequency poles in the scattering operator. Here, we study…
