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

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 ...

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 ...

Flexible metamaterials for advanced photonics applications [PDF]
, 2014 We present our recent results on the design, fabrication and applications of flexible metamaterials in the visible and near infrared range. In particular, we demonstrate broad angle spectral filtering for lab-on-fibre applications, the realisation of ...

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 ...
