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 ...

Multivalent Peptide Ligands To Probe the Chromocenter Microenvironment in Living Cells

Beat Fierz, Pablo Rivera Fuentes, Nora Guidotti, Maxime Nicolas Mivelaz, Adam Miklos Eördögh

Chromatin is spatially organized into functional states that are defined by both the presence of specific histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) and a defined set of chromatin-associated “reader” proteins. Different models for the underlying mecha ...

A phenomenological extended-reaction boundary model for time-domain wave-based acoustic simulations under sparse reflection conditions using a wave splitting method

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven

In environmental acoustics and in room acoustics, many surfaces exhibit extended-reaction (ER) behavior, i.e., their surface impedance varies with the angle of the incident sound wave. This paper presents a phenomenological method for modeling such angle d ...

h/e oscillations in interlayer transport of delafossites

Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Matthias Carsten Putzke

Microstructures can be carefully designed to reveal the quantum phase of the wave-like nature of electrons in a metal. Here, we report phase-coherent oscillations of out-of-plane magnetoresistance in the layered delafossites PdCoO2 and PtCoO2. The oscillat ...

Multipolar origin of electromagnetic transverse force resulting from two-wave interference

Olivier Martin, Karim Achouri, Andrei Kiselev

We propose a theoretical study on the electromagnetic forces resulting from the superposition of TE and TM plane waves interacting with a sphere. Specifically, we first show that, under such an illumination condition, the sphere is subjected to a force tra ...
