I review the four mechanisms of bound states in the continuum (BICs) in the application of
microwave and acoustic cavities open to directional waveguides. The most simple are …

An overview on the properties and applications of polymer and inorganic planar 1D photonic
crystals fabricated from solution is provided here. In the last decades, photonic crystals …

The advent of negative index materials has spawned extensive research into metamaterials
over the past decade. Metamaterials are attractive not only for their exotic electromagnetic …

The discovery of topological photonic states has revolutionized our understanding of
electromagnetic propagation and scattering. Endowed with topological robustness, photonic …

Using cold atoms to simulate strongly interacting quantum systems is an exciting frontier of
physics. However, because atoms are nominally neutral point particles, this limits the types …

This book is meant as an introduction to graphene plasmonics and aims at the advanced
undergraduate and graduate students entering the field of plasmonics in graphene. In it …

Switches and rectification devices are fundamental componentsused for controlling the flow
of energy in numerous applications. Thermal,,, and acoustic,,, rectifiers have been proposed …

The integration of nanophotonics and atomic physics has been a long-sought goal that
would open new frontiers for optical physics, including novel quantum transport and many …

Metamaterials is a young subject born in the 21st century. It is concerned with artificial
materials which can have electrical and magnetic properties difficult or impossible to find in …

We fabricated an acoustic composite structure consisting of a periodic array of interspaced
membranes and side holes. Experimental data on the transmission, effective density, and …
