A vortex in a superfluid gas inside an optical lattice can behave as a massive particle moving in a periodic potential and exhibiting quantum properties. In this Letter we discuss these properties and show that the excitation of vortex…
We study surface modes in semi-infinite chirped two-dimensional photonic lattices in the frame- work of an effective discrete nonlinear model. We demonstrate that the lattice chirp can change dramatically the conditions for the mode…
We investigate the existence and the dispersion characteristics of surface waves that propagate at an interface between metal-dielectric superlattice and isotropic dielectric. Within the long wavelength limit, when the effective-medium…
We propose an optical method of shining circularly polarized and spatially periodic laser fields to imprint superlattice structures in two-dimensional electronic systems. By changing the configuration of the optical field, we synthesize…
The combination of fast propagation speeds and highly localized nature has hindered the direct observation of the evolution of shock waves at the molecular scale. To address this limitation, an experimental system is designed by tuning a…
Motivated by recent experimental and theoretical results on optical X-waves, we propose a new type of waveforms in 2D and 3D discrete media -- multi-legged extended nonlinear structures (ENS), built as arrays of lattice solitons (tiles or…
We analyze the interaction of lattice vibrations (phonon wave-packets) with an asymmetric kink soliton initially at rest. We employ the $\phi^6$ model in one space and one time dimensions for various lattice spacings and consider two…
We investigate with relativistic MHD simulations the dissipation physics of BL Lac jets, by studying the synchrotron polarization signatures of particles accelerated by the kink instability in a magnetically-dominated plasma column. The…
We report magnetoresistance measurements through Nb films having a periodic thickness modulation. The cylinder shaped large-thickness regions of the sample, which form a square lattice, act as repulsive centers for the superconducting…
Investigating dispersion surface morphology of sonic metamaterials is crucial in providing information on related phenomena as inertial coupling, acoustic transparency, polarisation, and absorption. In the present study, we look into…
We study self-trapped localized nonlinear states in the form of truncated Bloch waves in one-dimensional optical lattices, which appear in the gaps of the linear bandgap spectrum. We demonstrate the existence of families of such localized…
The von Neumann stability analysis along with a Chapman-Enskog analysis is proposed for a single-relaxation-time lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) for wave propagation in isotropic linear elastic solids, using a regular D2Q9 lattice. Different…
The ability to control the directionality of surface waves by manipulating its polarization has been of great significance for applications in spintronics and polarization-based optics. Surface waves with evanescent tails are found to…
We demonstrate theoretically and experimentally a novel type of localized beams supported by the combined effects of total internal and Bragg reflection in nonlinear two-dimensional square periodic structures. Such localized states exhibit…
We propose a realistic scheme to detect topological edge states in an optical lattice subjected to a synthetic magnetic field, based on a generalization of Bragg spectroscopy sensitive to angular momentum. We demonstrate that using a…
We predict the existence and address the stability of two-dimensional surface solitons featuring topologically complex shapes, including dipoles, vortices, and bound states of vortex solitons, at the interface of nonlocal thermal media.…
A high-symmetry crystal surface may undergo a kinetic instability during the growth, such that its late stage evolution resembles a phase separation process. This parallel is rigorous in one dimension, if the conserved surface current is…
The modulational instability and discrete matter wave solitons in dipolar BEC, loaded into a deep optical lattice, are investigated analytically and numerically. The process of modulational instability of nonlinear plane matter waves in a…
A large class of multidimensional nonlinear Schroedinger equations admit localized nonradial standing wave solutions that carry nonzero intrinsic angular momentum. Here we provide evidence that certain of these spinning excitations are…
We study Bragg scattering at 1D optical lattices. Cold atoms are confined by the optical dipole force at the antinodes of a standing wave generated inside a laser-driven high-finesse cavity. The atoms arrange themselves into a chain of…
