The hidden role of coupled wave network topology on the dynamics of nonlinear lattices

Sophia R. Sklan, Baowen Li

In most systems, its division into interacting constituent elements gives rise to a natural network structure. Analyzing the dynamics of these elements and the topology of these na…

Elastic wave cloaking via symmetrized transformation media

Sophia R. Sklan, Ronald Y. S. Pak, Baowen Li

Transformation media theory, which steers waves in solids via an effective geometry induced by a refractive material (Fermat's principle of least action), provides a means of contr…

A Unified Approach to Nonlinear Transformation Materials

Sophia R. Sklan, Baowen Li

The advances in geometric approaches to optical devices due to transformation optics has led to the development of cloaks, concentrators, and other devices. It has also been shown…

A topological transistor of waves via the Euler characteristic

Sophia R. Sklan, Baowen Li

Although topological materials have recently seen tremendous development, their applications have remained elusive. Simultaneously, there exists considerable interest in pushing th…

Invisibility's Flicker: Detecting Thermal Cloaks via Transient Effects

Sophia R. Sklan, Xue Bai, Baowen Li +1

Recent research on the development of a thermal cloak has concentrated on engineering an inhomogeneous thermal conductivity and homogeneous volumetric heat capacity. While the perf…

Phonon Diodes and Transistors from Magneto-acoustics

Sophia R. Sklan, Jeffrey C. Grossman

By sculpting the magnetic field applied to magneto-acoustic materials, phonons can be used for information processing. Using a combination of analytic and numerical techniques, we…

Beyond electronics, beyond optics: single circuit parallel computing with phonons

Sophia Sklan, Jeffrey C. Grossman

Phononic computing -- the use of (typically thermal) vibrations for information processing -- is a nascent technology; its capabilities are still being discovered. We analyze an al…

Nonplanar ground states of frustrated antiferromagnets on an octahedral lattice

Sophia R. Sklan, Christopher L. Henley

We consider methods to identify the classical ground state for an exchange-coupled Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a non-Bravais lattice with interactions to several neighbo…
