We investigate the dispersion characteristics and the effective properties of acoustic waves propagating in a one-dimensional duct equipped with periodic thermoacoustic coupling elements. Each coupling element consists in a classical thermoacoustic regenerator subject to a spatial temperature gradient. When acoustic waves pass through the regenerator, thermal-to-acoustic energy conversion takes place and can either amplify or attenuate the wave, depending on the direction of propagation of the wave. The presence of the spatial gradient naturally induces a loss of reciprocity. This study provides a comprehensive theoretical model as well as an in-depth numerical analysis of the band structure and of the propagation properties of this thermoacoustically-coupled, tunable, one-dimensional metamaterial. Among the most significant findings, it is shown that the acoustic metamaterial is capable of supporting non-reciprocal thermoacoustic Bloch waves that are associated with a particular form of unidirectional energy transport. Remarkably, the thermoacoustic coupling also allows achieving effective zero compressibility and zero refractive index that ultimately lead to the phase invariance of the propagating sound waves. This single zero effective property is also shown to have very interesting implications in the attainment of acoustic cloaking.

The bulk electric polarization $P$ of one-dimensional crystalline insulators is defined modulo a polarization quantum $P_q$. The latter is a measurable quantity that depends on the number $n_s$ of sites per unit cell. For two-band models, $n_s=1$ or
$2$ and $P_q=g/n_s$ ($g=1$ or $2$ being the spin degeneracy). For inversion-symmetric crystals either $P=0$ or $P_q/2$ mod $P_q$. Depending on the position of the two inversion centers with respect to the ions, three situations arise: bond, site or mixed inversion. As representative two-band examples of these three cases, we study the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH), charge density wave (CDW) and Shockley models. SSH has a unique phase with $P=0$ mod $g/2$, CDW has a unique phase with $P=g/4$ mod $g/2$, and Shockley has two distinct phases with $P=0$ or $g/2$ mod $g$. In all three cases, as long as inversion symmetry is present, chiral symmetry is found to be irrelevant for $P$. As a generalization of SSH and CDW, we analytically compute $P$ for the RM model and illustrate the role of the unusual $P_q=g/2$ on edge and soliton fractional charges and on adiabatic pumping.
We present the possibility of tuning the spin-wave band structure, particularly the bandgaps in a nanoscale magnonic antidot waveguide by varying the shape of the antidots. The effects of changing the shape of the antidots on the spin-wave dispersion
relation in a waveguide have been carefully monitored. We interpret the observed variations by analysing the equilibrium magnetic configuration and the magnonic power and phase distribution profiles during spin-wave dynamics. The inhomogeneity in the exchange fields at the antidot boundaries within the waveguide is found to play a crucial role in controlling the band structure at the discussed length scales. The observations recorded here will be important for future developments of magnetic antidot based magnonic crystals and waveguides.
We determine exactly the phase structure of a chiral magnet in one spatial dimension with the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction and a potential that is a function of the third component of the magnetization vector, $n_3$, with a Zeeman (linear w
ith the coefficient $B$) term and an anisotropy (quadratic with the coefficient $A$) term. For large values of potential parameters $A$ and $B$, the system is in one of the ferromagnetic phases, whereas it is in the spiral phase for small values. In the spiral phase we find a continuum of spiral solutions, which are one-dimensionally modulated solutions with various periods. The ground state is determined as the spiral solution with the lowest average energy density. As the phase boundary approaches, the period of the lowest energy spiral solution diverges, and the spiral solutions become domain wall solutions with zero energy at the boundary. The energy of then domain wall solutions is positive in the homogeneous phase region, but is negative in the spiral phase region, signaling the instability of the homogeneous (ferromagnetic) state. The order of the phase transition between spiral and homogeneous phases and between polarized ($n_3=pm 1$) and canted ($n_3 ot=pm 1$) ferromagnetic phases is found to be second order.
We study the weak antilocalization (WAL) effect in the magnetoresistance of narrow HgTe wires fabricated in quantum wells (QWs) with normal and inverted band ordering. Measurements at different gate voltages indicate that the WAL is only weakly affec
ted by Rashba spin-orbit splitting and persists when the Rashba splitting is about zero. The WAL signal in wires with normal band ordering is an order of magnitude smaller than for inverted ones. These observations are attributed to a Dirac-like topology of the energy bands in HgTe QWs. From the magnetic-field and temperature dependencies we extract the dephasing lengths and band Berry phases. The weaker WAL for samples with a normal band structure can be explained by a non-universal Berry phase which always exceeds pi, the characteristic value for gapless Dirac fermions.
The formation of nonlinear Bloch states in open driven-dissipative system of exciton-polaritons loaded into a weak-contrast 1D periodic lattice is studied numerically and analytically. The condensate is described within the framework of mean-field th
eory by the coupled equations for the order parameter and for the density of incoherent excitons. The stationary nonlinear solutions having the structure of Bloch waves are studied in detail. It is shown that there is a bifurcation leading to the appearance of a family of essentially nonlinear states. The special feature of these solutions is that its current does not vanish when the quasi-momentum of the state approaches the values equal to the half of the lattice constant. To explain the bifurcations found in numerical simulations a simple perturbative approach is developed. The stability of the nonlinear states is examined by linear spectral analysis and by direct numerical simulations. An experimental scheme allowing the observation of the discussed nonlinear current states is suggested and studied by numerical simulations.
