Scale-free wave localization at topological multicriticality
Spatial wave localization at boundaries is conventionally restricted to exponential decay.Contact-free charge carrier density determination of doped sub-μm thin cubic GaN layers with terahertz time-domain spectroscopy
As cubic GaN is a promising material for optoelectronic applications, its layers need to be precisely doped to realize the desired properties.Cubic-Zn(1-x)Mn(x)Te optical modes across the phonon and phonon-polariton regimes
Alloying offers a convenient route to tune the physical properties of semiconductors, at the price, however, of local lattice/bond distortions needed to accommodate the lattice mismatch.Temporal equivalent of the Sommerfeld half-plane problem
Sommerfeld's half-plane problem, describing diffraction of a monochromatic wave by a semi-infinite perfectly electric conducting (PEC) infinitesimally thin plate, is one of the cornerstones of…Time Reflection-Refraction Crossover at Topological Kramers Edge States
Time-reversal symmetry protects helical edge states against static nonmagnetic backscattering.Nonlinear Jackiw-Rebbi exciton-polaritons at van der Waals topological interfaces
