Inverse problems in musical acoustics

open access: yes, 2016
Inverse problems in musical acoustics have a long history. Essentially they involve deducing something about the structure of the instrument simply by examining its sound. Can you tell the metal from which a flute is made from its sound?

Emergence of Rashba Spin‐Orbit Coupling in Staggered‐Gyromagnetic Photonic Crystals

open access: yesLaser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Rashba spin‐orbit coupling emerges in a staggered‐gyromagnetic photonic crystal under a uniform out‐of‐plane magnetic bias. The staggered magnetization splits a four‐fold Dirac point into a Rashba band structure carrying helical spin textures, verified by a four‐band k‐p model.
