Geometric Phase in Twisted Topological Complementary Pair

open access: yesAdvanced Science, 2023
AbstractGeometric phase enabled by spin‐orbit coupling has attracted enormous interest in optics over the past few decades. However, it is only applicable to circularly‐polarized light and encounters substantial challenges when applied to wave fields lacking the intrinsic spin degree of freedom. Here, a new paradigm is presented for achieving geometric

Ghost Imaging with a Partially Coherent Beam Carrying Twist Phase in a Turbulent Ocean: A Numerical Approach

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2019
Ghost imaging (GI) is an indirect imaging approach that can retrieve an object’s image even in a harsh environment through measuring the fourth-order correlation function (FOCF) between the signal and idle optical paths.

Poling-free spinning process of manufacturing piezoelectric yarns for textile applications

open access: yesMaterials & Design, 2019
This report describes a new twist-spinning process for the manufacture of piezoelectric yarn without the need for additional poling processes. Poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) (PVDF-TrFE) nanofibers were first electrospun and organized into a ...

Giant-block twist grain boundary smectic phases [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2005
Study of a diverse set of chiral smectic materials, each of which has twist grain boundary (TGB) phases over a broad temperature range and exhibits grid patterns in the Grandjean textures of the TGB helix, shows that these features arise from a common structure: “giant” smectic blocks of planar layers of thicknesslb> 200 nm terminated by GBs that ...

Correlated insulating phases in the twisted bilayer graphene* [PDF]

open access: yesChinese Physics B, 2021
We review analytical and numerical studies of correlated insulating states in twisted bilayer graphene, focusing on real-space lattice models constructions and their unbiased quantum many-body solutions. We show that by constructing localized Wannier states for the narrow bands, the projected Coulomb interactions can be approximated by interactions of ...

Chemical-Physical Characterization of a Binary Mixture of a Twist Bend Nematic Liquid Crystal with a Smectogen

open access: yesCrystals, 2020
Nematic twist-bend phases (NTB) are new types of nematic liquid crystalline phases with attractive properties for future electro-optic applications. However, most of these states are monotropic or are stable only in a narrow high temperature range.

Order and Frustration in Chiral Liquid Crystals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
This paper reviews the complex ordered structures induced by chirality in liquid crystals. In general, chirality favors a twist in the orientation of liquid-crystal molecules. In some cases, as in the cholesteric phase, this favored twist can be achieved

Twist Phase Matching in Two-Dimensional Materials

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2023
Optical phase matching involves establishing a proper phase relationship between the fundamental excitation and generated waves to enable efficient optical parametric processes. It is typically achieved through birefringence or periodic polarization. Here, we report that the interlayer twist angle in two-dimensional (2D) materials creates a nonlinear ...

Fixed twist dynamics of SO(3) gauge theory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We perform a throughout study of 3+1 dim. SO(3) LGT for any fixed-twist background. We concentrate in particular on the physically significant trivial and 1-twist sectors.
