The Search for Edge States ( Boundary Modes ) in Mechanical Metamaterials
Recent breakthroughs in condensed matter physics are opening new directions in band engineering and wave manipulation. Specifically, challenging the notions of reciprocity, time-reversal symmetry and sensitivity to defects in wave propagation may disrupt ways in which mechanical metamaterials are designed and employed, and may enable totally new functionalities. Non-reciprocity and topologicall...
متن کاملCharacteristic length scale of the intermediate structure in zero-pressure-gradient boundary layer flow.
In a turbulent boundary layer over a smooth flat plate with zero pressure gradient, the intermediate structure between the viscous sublayer and the free stream consists of two layers: one adjacent to the viscous sublayer and one adjacent to the free stream. When the level of turbulence in the free stream is low, the boundary between the two layers is sharp, and both have a self-similar structur...
متن کاملCharacteristic length scale in cleavage cracking across high-angle grain boundary
The factors that govern cleavage cracking across high-angle grain boundaries are investigated theoretically. According to previous experimental observations, a cleavage front overcomes the resistance of a high-angle grain boundary by first penetrating across it at a number of break-through points (BTP) and then separating apart persistent grain-boundary islands (PGBI). In the current study, thi...
متن کاملAnisotropy and particle-size effects in nanostructured plasmonic metamaterials.
We study the optical properties of metamaterials formed by layers of metallic nanoparticles. The effective optical constants of these materials are retrieved from the calculated angle-dependent Fresnel reflection coefficients for s and p incident-light polarization. We investigate the degree of anisotropy in the effective permittivity as a function of inter-layer spacing, particle size, filling...
متن کاملLength scale dependence of DNA mechanical properties.
Although mechanical properties of DNA are well characterized at the kilobase-pair range, a number of recent experiments have suggested that DNA is more flexible at shorter length scales, which correspond to the regime that is crucial for cellular processes such as DNA packaging and gene regulation. Here, we perform a systematic study of the effective elastic properties of DNA at different lengt...
