Optothermal shaping of lamb waves with square and spiral phase fronts

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Aleksi Antoine Bossart, Janez Rus

We introduce a Lamb-wave medium with tunable propagation velocities, which are controlled by a two-dimensional heating pattern produced by a laser beam. We utilized it to demonstrate that waves in an appropriately designed medium can propagate in the form ...

Zero dispersion Kerr solitons in optical microresonators

Tobias Kippenberg, Junqiu Liu, Wenle Weng, Miles Henry Anderson, Alexey Tikan

Solitons are shape preserving waveforms that are ubiquitous across nonlinear dynamical systems from BEC to hydrodynamics, and fall into two separate classes: bright solitons existing in anomalous group velocity dispersion, and switching waves forming 'dark ...

On the reconstruction of the attenuation function of a return-stroke current from the Fourier Transform of finite-duration measurements

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein

A correct representation of the lightning current is crucial when the electromagnetic field radiated to a point of interest has to be computed. Based on the engineering models of Transmission Line type, such representation involves the knowledge of the ret ...

Quantum interference effects of out-of-plane confinement on two-dimensional electron systems in oxides

Emmanouil Frantzeskakis, Ji Dai

It was recently discovered that a conductive, metallic state is formed on the surface of some insulating oxides. First observed on SrTiO3 (001), it was then found in other compounds as diverse as anatase TiO2, KTaO3, BaTiO3, ZnO, and also on different surf ...
