Liquid crystals generally support orientational singularities of the director field known as
topological defects. These latter modify transport properties in their vicinity as if the geometry …

In this paper, we examine the effect of introducing a conical disclination on the thermal and
optical properties of a two dimensional GaAs quantum dot in the presence of a uniform and …

We study the interference and diffraction of light when it propagates through a metamaterial
medium mimicking the spacetime of a cosmic string—a topological defect with curvature …

Theoretical investigations are carried out of optical transitions of a polar disc with a conical
disclination and under the influence of a parallel applied uniform magnetic field. Additional …

This is the first study to consider a quantum dot with screw dislocation that has Rosen‐Morse
(RM) confinement potential, generated by a GaAs/GaAlAs heterostructure. An external …

Controlling light and heat via metamaterials has presented interesting technological
applications using transformation optics (TO) and transformation thermodynamics (TT) …

In recent years, phononics, that studies thermal analogs of electronic devices, has become
an important subject due to the need for better use of energy resources influenced by …

The detection and treatment of signals are proper applications of, for example, thermal and
optical diodes. However, such devices are mono-physical ones, rectifying only one kind of …

One interesting way to control heat is to use devices designed by transformation thermics,
where artificial media are used. However, once manufactured (either repelling or …

Acoustic diodes can be relevant to improve the audible comfort of indoor environments or to
provide better ultrasound images. However, such diodes are usually based on nonlinear …
