Since the invention of optical fiber cable data transmission using light has become ubiquitous in the past years. Nonlinear optical effects, which are hardly noticed in our daily life, have become crucial and highly influential for the design and performan ...
We theoretically and experimentally investigate the unique scattering properties of parity-time acoustic systems. We observe acoustic invisibility of airborne sound at audible frequencies in a parity-time symmetric meta-molecule made of perfectly balanced ...
In the last years, the number of studies carried out in the field of acoustic metamaterials has significantly increased. In year 2009, our group proposed a concept of acoustic composite right/left hand transmission line (CRLH-TL) metamaterial, consisting o ...
Numerical investigation of wave propagation in a cellular solid with closed cells configuration and entrained fluid showed an existence of two types of pressure waves, which have opposite polarization and have different phase and group velocities. This is ...
An overview of the European project STRUCTURES and its main challenges is given. Current and foreseen Intentional Electromagnetic Interference (IEMI) threats are classified according to their availability, their technical characteristics (such as bandwidth ...
In recent years, an increasing number of pioneering studies have been carried out in the field of acoustic metamaterials, following the path of electromagnetic metamaterials. These artificial engineered materials are designed in such a way so as to achieve ...
We introduce the acoustic equivalent of “supercoupling” by studying the anomalous sound transmission and uniform energy squeezing through ultranarrow acoustic channels filled with zero-density metamaterials. As a realistic example, we propose their realiza ...
Acoustic metamaterials constitute a new class of structures that exhibit acoustic properties not readily available in nature. These properties can be a negative mass density, expressing the opposition of the acceleration of a particle to the application of ...
Periodic nanopatterning of metallic ferromagnets allows one to create devices with artificially tailored band structures for spin waves. We discuss our recent experiments performed on two-dimensional periodic lattices of nanoholes created in thin Ni80Fe20 ...
Recent theoretical and experimental work has demonstrated that acoustic wave tunneling and energy squeezing can be achieved using density- near-zero (DNZ) metamaterial channels [Fleury et al, J. Acoust. Soc. Am., 132(3), 1956 (2012)]. These channels are di ...
