Nature Materials, 2014 Balancing the complexity and the simplicity has played an important role in the development of many fields in science and engineering. As Albert Einstein was once quoted to say: 'Everything must be made as simple as possible, but not one bit simpler'. The simplicity of an idea brings versatility of that idea into a broader domain, while its complexity ...

Reports on Progress in Physics, 2023 Abstract Mechanical metamaterials, also known as architected materials, are rationally designed composites, aiming at elastic behaviors and effective mechanical properties beyond (‘meta’) those of their individual ingredients—qualitatively and/or quantitatively.

Coding metamaterials, digital metamaterials and programmable metamaterials [PDF]
Light: Science & Applications, 2014 Smart materials offering great freedom in manipulating electromagnetic radiation have been developed. This exciting new concept was realized by Tie Jun Cui and co-workers at the Southeast University, China, who developed digital metamaterials consisting of two kinds of unit cells whose different phase responses allow them to act as ‘0’ and ‘1’ bits ...

Nanotechnology Reviews, 2013 Plasmonics and metamaterials have attracted considerable attention over the past decade, owing to the revolutionary impacts that they bring to both the fundamental physics and practical applications in multiple disciplines. Although the two fields initially advanced along their individual trajectories in parallel, they started to interfere with each ...

Optics Letters, 2022 We study the dispersion of electromagnetic waves in a spatially dispersive metamaterial with Lorentz-like dependence of principal permittivity tensor components on the respective components of the wave vector performing the analysis of isofrequency contours. The considered permittivity tensor describes a triple non-connected wire medium.

Science, 2009 Tunable Metamaterials The electromagnetic response of metamaterials gives rise to exciting phenomena such as cloaking, negative refraction, and perfect lensing. Their response, however, tends to depend strongly on resonant effects, thereby limiting the application bandwidth. Driscoll et al.

AIP Advances, 2021 Here we report about the strain-tuned dipolar spin-wave coupling in the adjacent system of yttrium iron garnet stripes, which were strain-coupled with the patterned piezoelectric layer. Spatially-resolved laser ablation technique was used for structuring

Supertoroidal light pulses as electromagnetic skyrmions propagating in free space
Nature Communications, 2021 Topology in electromagnetic fields can lead to a range of intriguing and unexpected phenomena. Here the authors describe a family of supertoroidal light pulses that exhibit skyrmionic topological structure flying in free space.

Toy model of harmonic and sum frequency generation in 2D dielectric nanostructures
Scientific Reports, 2021 Optical nonlinearities of matter are often associated with the response of individual atoms. Here, using a toy oscillator model, we show that in the confined geometry of a two-dimensional dielectric nanoparticle a collective nonlinear response of the ...
