After reviewing the concept of vison excitations in Z(2) dimer liquids, we study the liquid-crystal transition of the quantum dimer model on the triangular lattice by means of a semiclassical spin-wave approximation to the dispersion of visons in the conte ...
Plane wave propagation in a chiral lattice is investigated through the application of Bloch's theorem. Two-dimensional dispersion relations are estimated and analyzed to illustrate peculiar properties of chiral or non-centrosymmetric configurations and inv ...

Longitudinal zero-dispersion wavelength (ZDW) fluctuations in long waveguides impose a fundamental limit on the achievable parametric mixer bandwidth. We demonstrate for the first time that the precisely measured ZDW profile can be taken advantage of by ap ...

The precise momentum dependence of the superconducting gap in the iron-arsenide superconductor Ba1−xKxFe2As2 (BKFA) with Tc=32 K was determined from angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) via fitting the distribution of the quasiparticle density ...
Inertial waves generated by a small oscillating disk in a rotating water filled cylinder are observed by means of a corotating particle image velocimetry system. The wave takes place in a stationary conical wavepacket, whose angle aperture depends on the o ...
We explore the use of PDE constrained nonlinear optimization techniques to optimize and design electromagnetic crystals which exhibit frozen mode behavior. This is characterized by Van Hove singularities in the dispersion relation, e.g., stationary reflect ...
We retrieve the dispersion properties of photonic crystal waveguides near the band edge with high experimental accuracy. The dispersion diagram of the waveguide modes in the complex-valued plane is directly measured in the far field by using a Fourier space ...
We determine the dynamical dimer correlation functions of quantum dimer models at the Rokhsar-Kivelson point on the bipartite square and cubic lattices and the non-bipartite triangular lattice. On the basis of an algorithmic idea by Henley, we simulate a s ...
We use a Fourier-space imaging technique relying on outcoupling grating probes to study the coupled mode interaction and dispersion properties of guided modes in silicon-on-insulator codirectional couplers. Our approach allows us to measure the mode splitt ...
Aims. We present spectroscopic observations of galaxies in 15 survey fields as part of the ESO Distant Cluster Survey ( EDisCS). We determine the redshifts and velocity dispersions of the galaxy clusters located in these fields, and we test for possible su ...
