The mechanism of electrical conduction in glassy semiconductors

Arkady Kurnosov, Vassiliy Lubchenko

We argue that the dominant charge carrier in glassy semiconducting alloys is a compound particle in the form of an electron or hole bound to an intimate pair of topological lattice…

Optical Kinetic Theory of Nonlinear Multi-mode Photonic Networks

Arkady Kurnosov, Lucas J. Fernández-Alcázar, Alba Y. Ramos +2

Recent experimental developments in multimode nonlinear photonic circuits (MMNPC), have motivated the development of an optical thermodynamic theory that describes the equilibrium…

Nonlinear Wavepacket Dynamics in Proximity to a Stationary Inflection Point

Serena Landers, Arkady Kurnosov, William Tuxbury +2

A stationary inflection point (SIP) in the Bloch dispersion relation of a periodic waveguide is an exceptional point degeneracy where three Bloch eigenmodes coalesce forming the so…

Adiabatic monoparametric autonomous motors enabled by self-induced nonconservative forces

Arkady Kurnosov, Lucas J. Fernández-Alcázar, Raúl Bustos-Marún +1

Archetypal motors produce work when two slowly varying degrees of freedom (DOF) move around a closed loop of finite area in the parameter space. Here, instead, we propose a simple…

Reconfigurable Enhancement of Actuation Forces by Engineered Losses in non-Hermitian Metamaterials

Abhishek Gupta, Arkady Kurnosov, Tsampikos Kottos +1

While boosting signals with amplification mechanisms is a well established approach, attenuation mechanisms are typically considered an anathema because they degrade the efficiency…

Temperature-driven narrowing of the insulating gap as a precursor of the insulator-to-metal transition: Implications for the electronic structure of solids

Vassiliy Lubchenko, Arkady Kurnosov

We present a microscopic picture rationalizing the surprisingly steep decrease of the band gap with temperature in insulators, crystalline or otherwise. The gap narrowing largely r…
