Review: Topology of solitons and singular defects in chiral liquid crystals
Jin-Sheng Wu, Ivan I. Smalyukh
Widely known for their uses in displays and electro-optics, liquid crystals are more than just technological marvels. They vividly reveal the topology and structure of various soli…
Metadamping in inertially amplified metamaterials: Trade-off between spatial attenuation and temporal attenuation
Mahmoud I. Hussein, Ibrahim Patrick, Arnab Banerjee +1
Metadamping is the phenomenon of either enhanced or diminished intrinsic dissipation in a material stemming from the material's internal structural dynamics. It has been previously…
Geometric transformation and three-dimensional hopping of Hopf solitons
Jung-Shen B. Tai, Jin-Sheng Wu, Ivan I. Smalyukh
3D topological solitons are marvels of mathematical physics that arise in theoretical models in elementary particle and nuclear physics, condensed matter, and cosmology. A particul…
Antiferroelectric Smectic Ordering as a Prelude to the Ferroelectric Nematic:Introducing the Smectic Phase
Xi Chen, Vikina Martinez, Eva Korblova +9
We have structurally characterized the liquid crystal phase that appears as an intermediate state when a dielectric nematic, having polar disorder of its molecular dipoles, transit…
Optomechanical ground-state cooling in a continuous and efficient electro-optic transducer
Benjamin M. Brubaker, Jonathan M. Kindem, Maxwell D. Urmey +6
The demonstration of a quantum link between microwave and optical frequencies would be an important step towards the realization of a quantum network of superconducting processors.…
Effects of pebble accretion on the growth and composition of planetesimals in the inner Solar System
J. Mah, R. Brasser, A. Bouvier +1
Recent work has shown that aside from the classical view of collisions by increasingly massive planetesimals, the accretion of mm- to m-sized 'pebbles' can also reproduce the mass-…
