Spin and orbital angular momenta (AM) are of fundamental interest in wave physics. Acoustic wave, as a typical longitudinal wave, has been well studied in terms of orbital AM, but still considered unable to carry non-zero integral spin AM…
Optical lattices are typically created via the ac-Stark shift, which are limited by diffraction to periodicities $\ge\lambda/2$, where $\lambda$ is the wavelength of light used to create them. Lattices with smaller periodicities may be…
