Topological Quasiparticles of Light: From Spin‐Orbit Coupling to Photonic Skyrmions

Laser &Photonics Reviews, Volume 19, Issue 24, December 17, 2025.
This review summarizes recent advances in photonic skyrmions, emphasizing the central role of spin–orbit coupling in their formation. The review discusses how spin–orbit interactions generate skyrmionic textures, examines modulation strategies for their dynamic control, and provides an overview of emerging directions and opportunities where these ...

Dual-band topological Bott insulators in Ammann–Beenker-tiling square photonic quasicrystals

JPhys Photonics
In this work, we study topological states in Ammann–Beenker-tiling photonic quasicrystals made of magneto-optical materials. While conventional topological states in photonic systems with crystalline symmetry are characterized by topological invariants ...

Dodecagonal quasicrystals: Construction of 2D lattices and demonstrations using laser pointers

Macedonian Journal of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, 2022
Photographic slides of an aperiodic dodecagonal tiling were used as two-dimensional diffraction gratings to describe and demonstrate the basic properties of dodecagonal quasicrystals. This paper complements our earlier publication on Penrose (decagonal)

Electronic transport properties of quasicrystals: a Review

, 1997
We present a review of some results concerning electronic transport properties of quasicrystals. After a short introduction to the basic concepts of quasiperiodicity, we consider the experimental transport properties of electrical conductivity with ...

Emergent Quasicrystalline Symmetry in Light-Induced Quantum Phase Transitions

, 2019
The discovery of quasicrystals with crystallographically forbidden rotational symmetries has changed the notion of the ordering in materials, yet little is known about the dynamical emergence of such exotic forms of order.

Bloch–Landau–Zener Oscillations in Moiré Lattices

Fortschritte der Physik, Volume 73, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract A theory of two‐dimensional Bloch–Landau–Zener (BLZ) oscillations of wavepackets in incommensurate moiré lattices under the influence of a weak linear gradient is developed. Unlike periodic systems, aperiodic lattices lack translational symmetry and therefore do not exhibit a conventional band‐gap structure.

Icosahedral Clusters [In@Tr12]10–: Synthesis, Characterization, and Electronic Structure Investigations of Na4A6Tr13 (A = Rb, Cs; Tr = In, Tl)

European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, Volume 28, Issue 26, September 24, 2025.
The mixing of the elements indium and thallium is investigated for the Na4A6Tl13 structure type (A = Rb, Cs). Providing of indium instantly results in the formation of [In@Tr12]10– (Tr = In, Tl) cluster units. The dissolution behavior in liquid ammonia was investigated as well as DFT calculations are carried out to elucidate the bonding situation ...

Bridging the local configurations and crystalline counterparts of bulk metallic glass by nanocalorimetry

Journal of Materials Research and Technology, 2019
The structural understanding of crystallization in bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) has attracted much attention while rapid crystallization occurring under controllable conditions is less involved.

Aramid Nanofiber Aerogels: Versatile High Complexity Components for Multifunctional Composites

Advanced Materials, Volume 37, Issue 38, September 25, 2025.
Different forms of aramid nanofibers (ANFs) and especially aerogels from them, offer a sustainable route to high‐performance biomimetic nanocomposites. Due to the cartilage‐like architecture, ANF‐based materials enable breakthroughs in energy, electromagnetic, biomedical, and water purification technologies.

Free path lengths in quasicrystals

, 2013
Previous studies of kinetic transport in the Lorentz gas have been limited to cases where the scatterers are distributed at random (e.g. at the points of a spatial Poisson process) or at the vertices of a Euclidean lattice.
