We demonstrate how exceptional points of degeneracy (EPDs) are induced in a single transmission line (TL) directly by applying periodic space-time modulation to the per-unit-length distributed capacitance. In such space-time modulated (STM)-TL, two eigenmodes coalesce into a single degenerate one, in their eigenvalues (wavenumbers) and eigenvectors (voltage-current states) when the system approaches the EPD condition. The EPD condition is achieved by tuning a parameter in the space-time modulation, such as spatial or temporal modulation frequency, or the modulation depth. We unequivocally demonstrate the occurrence of the EPD by showing that the bifurcation of the wavenumber around the EPD is described by the Puiseux fractional power series expansion. We show that the first order expansion is sufficient to approximate well the dispersion diagram, and how this exceptional sensitivity of an STM-TL to tiny changes of any TL or modulation parameter enables a possible application as a highly sensitive TL sensor when operating at an EPD.

We study the nature of an environment-induced exceptional point in a non-Hermitian pair of coupled mechanical oscillators. The mechanical oscillators are a pair of pillars carved out of a single isotropic elastodynamic medium made of aluminum and con
sist of carefully controlled differential losses. The inter-oscillator coupling originates exclusively from background modes associated with the environment, that portion of the structure which, if perfectly rigid, would support the oscillators without coupling. We describe the effective interaction in terms of a coupled mode framework where only one nearby environmental mode can qualitatively reproduce changes to the exceptional point characteristics. Our experimental and numerical demonstrations illustrates new directions utilizing environmental mode control for the implementation of exceptional point degeneracies. Potential applications include a new type of non-invasive, dfferential atomic force microscopy and hypersensitive sensors for the structural integrity of surfaces.
We reveal that the phenomenon of full transmission without phase accumulation commonly associated with epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) materials for a plane-wave does not require vanishing of permittivity. We theoretically connect the phenomenon with conditi
on of the Brewster effect satisfied at the edges of stop bands (so called exceptional points of degeneracy) and show that the full transmission without phase accumulation can be observed in various one-dimensional periodic structures. Particularly, exploiting the manifold of exceptional points of degeneracy in one-dimensional all-dielectric periodic lattices, we demonstrate that these structures not only offer a lossless and extremely simple, CMOS compatible alternative for some applications of ENZ media, but exhibit new properties of all-angle full transmission with zero phase delay.
Flexible manipulation of local magnetic configurations on the sub-micro scale has long been a pursuit in the field of magnetism science owing to its potential applications in future spintronic devices. This goal can be achieved by using current-induc
ed spin torque to drive the magnetic domain walls. However, the current density threshold of 10^6-10^8 A/cm^2 in metallic systems induced by intrinsic and extrinsic pinning effects increases the energy consumption of the device and limits its application. The marriage between magnetism and topology opens a door for efficient magnetism manipulation, but to date, complex structures (such as multilayer film structures) are still required. Here, we report a unique process of magnetism modulation in the recently discovered magnetic Weyl semimetal Co3Sn2S2 through current-assisted domain wall depinning. Non-adiabatic spin-transfer torques, which are induced by current and significantly modulated by the linear dispersion of Weyl fermions, impose on the local magnetic moments inside the domain walls, leading to a greatly improved efficiency of domain wall motion in magnetic Weyl semimetals compared with conventional metals. By analysing the changes of hysteresis loops under different DC currents, a low current threshold of 1.5*10^5 A/cm^2, and two orders of magnitude improvement of depinning efficiency are obtained in this single material layer. The high efficiency to drive domain walls by current suggests that magnetic Weyl semimetal is a hopeful material system for realizing low-energy consumption spintronic devices.
Higher-order exceptional points have attracted increased attention in recent years due to their enhanced sensitivity and distinct topological features. Here, we show that nonlocal acoustic metagratings that enable precise and simultaneous control ove
r their muliple orders of diffraction, can serve as a robust platform for investigating higher-order exceptional points in free space. The proposed metagratings, not only could advance the fundamental research of arbitrary order exceptional points, but could also empower unconventional free-space wave manipulation for applications related to sensing and extremely asymmetrical wave control.
A non-Hermitian complex symmetric 2x2 matrix toy model is used to study projective Hilbert space structures in the vicinity of exceptional points (EPs). The bi-orthogonal eigenvectors of a diagonalizable matrix are Puiseux-expanded in terms of the ro
ot vectors at the EP. It is shown that the apparent contradiction between the two incompatible normalization conditions with finite and singular behavior in the EP-limit can be resolved by projectively extending the original Hilbert space. The complementary normalization conditions correspond then to two different affine charts of this enlarged projective Hilbert space. Geometric phase and phase jump behavior are analyzed and the usefulness of the phase rigidity as measure for the distance to EP configurations is demonstrated. Finally, EP-related aspects of PT-symmetrically extended Quantum Mechanics are discussed and a conjecture concerning the quantum brachistochrone problem is formulated.
