Nonreciprocity in acoustic and elastic materials

H Nassar, B Yousefzadeh, R Fleury… - Nature Reviews …, 2020 - nature.com
The law of reciprocity in acoustics and elastodynamics codifies a relation of symmetry
between action and reaction in fluids and solids. In its simplest form, it states that the …

Odd viscosity and odd elasticity

M Fruchart, C Scheibner, V Vitelli - Annual Review of …, 2023 - annualreviews.org
Elasticity typically refers to a material's ability to store energy, whereas viscosity refers to a
material's tendency to dissipate it. In this review, we discuss fluids and solids for which this is …

Acoustic resonances in non-Hermitian open systems

L Huang, S Huang, C Shen, S Yves… - Nature Reviews …, 2024 - nature.com
Acoustic resonances in open systems, which are usually associated with resonant modes
characterized by complex eigenfrequencies, play a fundamental role in manipulating …

Thermal Willis coupling in spatiotemporal diffusive metamaterials

L Xu, G Xu, J Li, Y Li, J Huang, CW Qiu - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
Willis coupling generically stems from bianisotropy or chirality in wave systems.
Nevertheless, those schemes are naturally unavailable in diffusion systems described by a …

[HTML][HTML] Active times for acoustic metamaterials

F Zangeneh-Nejad, R Fleury - Reviews in Physics, 2019 - Elsevier
Initially proposed to achieve strong noise isolation levels beyond the mass-density law,
acoustic metamaterials (AMMs) have now overturned the conventional views in all aspects …

Realization of active metamaterials with odd micropolar elasticity

Y Chen, X Li, C Scheibner, V Vitelli, G Huang - Nature communications, 2021 - nature.com
Materials made from active, living, or robotic components can display emergent properties
arising from local sensing and computation. Here, we realize a freestanding active …

An active mechanical Willis meta-layer with asymmetric polarizabilities

Y Chen, X Li, G Hu, MR Haberman, G Huang - Nature communications, 2020 - nature.com
Willis materials exhibit macroscopic cross-coupling between particle velocity and stress as
well as momentum and strain. However, Willis coupling coefficients designed so far are …

Time-varying media, dispersion, and the principle of causality

TT Koutserimpas, F Monticone - Optical Materials Express, 2024 - opg.optica.org
The article reviews general properties of time-varying dispersive materials. We first briefly
discuss different dispersion models that have been proposed in the literature, the role of the …

Maximum Willis coupling in acoustic scatterers

L Quan, Y Ra'di, DL Sounas, A Alù - Physical review letters, 2018 - APS
Willis coupling in acoustic materials defines the cross-coupling between strain and velocity,
analogous to bianisotropic phenomena in electromagnetics. While these phenomena have …
