Metamaterials are often defined as artificial compositions designed to exhibit desired physical properties. These materials attract a lot of research attention due to unusual behavior that may not yet have been seen in nature. Although there is no commonly ...
It is known that the permittivity of ferroelectric polydomain films and single crystals in weak electric fields is strongly enhanced by the reversible movement of pinned domain walls. Two mechanisms of the movement exist: first, the bending of free segment ...
Gap-plasmons (GP) in metal-insulator-metal (MIM) structures have shown exceptional performance in guiding and concentrating light within deep subwavelength layers. Reported designs to date exploit tapered thicknesses of the insulating layer in order to con ...
A concept for acoustic metamaterials consisting of a cellular medium with fluid-filled cells is fabricated and studied experimentally. In such a system, the fluid and solid structure explicitly interact, and elastic wave propagation is coupled to both phas ...
The recent discovery of topological states in condensed matter physics has spawned a quest for similar effects in classical physics. Topological insulators are bulk insulators supporting bandgap crossing, chiral edge states that are immune to backscatterin ...
Bloch surface waves (BSWs) are recently developing alternative to surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs). Due to dramatically enhanced propagation distance and strong field confinement these surface states can be successfully used in on-chip all-optical integra ...
The conversion of electric power to light is an important scientific and technological challenge. Advanced experimental methods have provided access to explore the relevant microscopic processes at the nanometer scale. Here, we review state-of-the-art stud ...
We report on the experimental observation of extreme laser spectral broadening and a change in optical transmission in gallium phosphite induced by 25 MV/cm terahertz (THz) single-cycle internal field. Such intense THz radiation leads to twofold transient ...
We study the unique wave manipulation capabilities of Parity-Time symmetric pairs of metasurfaces operated at exceptional point conditions. We demonstrate theoretically and experimentally the relevance of these systems to induce wave phenomena typically ob ...
A transmission-line acoustic metamaterial is an engineered, periodic arrangement of relatively small unit-cells, the acoustic properties of which can be manipulated to achieve anomalous physical behaviours. These exotic properties open the door to practica ...
