Symmetry-Imposed Selection Rules for Excitations of Nontrivial Plasmonic Topologies. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
A unified group‐theory selection rule governs the excitation of vectorial nearfield topologies across three plasmonic spin states. Derived from first principles, it predicts spin–orbit vortex splitting and multidimensional nested vortices, confirmed by phase‐resolved in situ measurements.

Mechanical effects of optical vortices

, 1999
We concentrate on the forces and torques exerted on transparent and absorbing particles trapped in laser beams containing optical vortices. We review previous theoretical and experimental work and then present new calculations of the effect of vortex beams on absorbing particles.

Dynamically Actuated Reconfigurable Topographical Surface Enables Active Control of Implant‐Associated Infections

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A dynamically actuated reconfigurable topographical surface (DARTS) integrates contact‐mediated bactericidal nanotopography with programmable mechanical actuation to actively disrupt bacterial biofilms. Dynamic surface reconfiguration enhances bacterial killing and suppresses implant‐associated infections in vivo, providing a new strategy for active ...

Coaxial superposition of Bessel beams by discretized spiral axicons

Journal of the European Optical Society-Rapid Publications, 2018
Background A diffractive spiral axicon can be used for the generation of a vortex beam with orbital angular momentum. The coaxial superposition of multiple vortices can generate a complex field with off-axis optical vortices.

Melanin's Role in Balancing Mechanical Strength and Reproductive Output in Environmentally Stressed Fungal Spores

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Melanin content directly controls fungal spore mechanical properties, with pigmented spores achieving rupture forces two orders of magnitude higher than hyaline spores. Environmental stress drives this quantity‐quality tradeoff; stressed species invest energy in melanin‐reinforced, mechanically superior thick‐walled, super‐hydrophobic spores, while ...

Observation of higher-order deterministic optical vortices from random vortex beams

APL Photonics
Optical vortices in coherent beams have been identified as spiral phases with intensity nulls at singularities, while in random beams, they appear as coherence vortices in correlation functions, often not matching intensity nulls. Observing deterministic

Architecture‐Driven Functional Coupling in Vertically Aligned Nanocomposites

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Vertically aligned nanocomposites define a growth‐engineered architecture in which vertical interfaces, strain fields, defect pathways, and phase connectivity are created simultaneously. This review shows how these architectural features couple ferroic, optical, ionic, electrochemical, and device responses, establishing design rules and open challenges

Orbital angular momentum conservation in Brillouin light scattering within a ferromagnetic sphere

New Journal of Physics, 2018
Magnetostatic modes supported by a ferromagnetic sphere have been known as the Walker modes, each of which possesses an orbital angular momentum as well as a spin angular momentum along a static magnetic field.

Perfect spatiotemporal optical vortices

Photonics Research
Recently, spatiotemporal optical vortices (STOVs) with transverse orbital angular momentum have emerged as a significant research topic. While various STOV fields have been explored, they often suffer from a critical limitation: the spatial and temporal dimensions of the STOV wavepacket are strongly correlated with the topological charge.
