Metamaterials are rationally designed composites aiming at effective material parameters
that go beyond those of the ingredient materials. For example, negative metamaterial …

The introduction of engineered resonance phenomena on surfaces has opened a new
frontier in surface science and technology. Pillared phononic crystals, metamaterials, and …

Abstract Transmission Electron Microscopes (TEM) have allowed giant steps in chemistry,
biology or physics. Many of these achievements were nourished by key instrumental …

Nonlinear optical processes are vital for fields including telecommunications, signal
processing, data storage, spectroscopy, sensing and imaging. As an independent research …

The coupling between electromagnetic fields and mechanical motion in micro‐and
nanostructured materials has recently produced intriguing fundamental physics, such as the …

A simple configuration of only λ/9 thick 2D metallic grating embedded within an electro-optic
(EO) material (lithium niobate for instance) is proposed and theoretically studied to act as an …

Liquid drops and vibrations are ubiquitous in both everyday life and technology, and their
combination can often result in fascinating physical phenomena opening up intriguing …

Effective confinement of light and sound is achieved through a one-dimensional phoxonic
crystal (PxC) cavity. In particular, co-localization of gigahertz phonons and infrared photons …

In this paper, we investigate the existence of a special so-called Symmetry-Protected Bound
state In the Continuum (SP-BIC) mode in a typical infinite and finite 1D-periodic TiO 2-based …

We study numerically the interaction of surface acoustic waves propagating at the surface of
a multilayer structure (the so-called Sezawa waves) with localized surface plasmons at the …
