Active Acoustic Metamaterials: A New Way to Understand Nonlinear and Topological Phenomena

This thesis explores the innovative potential of active acoustic metamaterials in the manipulation of sound waves through dynamic control and topological principles. Traditional acoustic metamaterials, while capable of achieving remarkable feats such as ne ...

Observation of amplitude-driven nonreciprocity for energy guiding

Hervé Lissek, Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Mathieu François Padlewski

The non-Hermitian skin effect is an intriguing physical phenomenon, in which all eigenmodes of a non-Hermitian lattice become localized at boundary regions. While such an exotic behavior has been demonstrated in various physical platforms, most realization ...

Practical realization of chiral nonlinearity for strong topological protection

Hervé Lissek, Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Mathieu François Padlewski, Xinxin Guo

Nonlinear topology has been much less inquired compared to its linear counterpart. Existing advances have focused on nonlinearities of limited magnitudes and fairly homogeneous types. As such, the realizations have rarely been concerned with the requiremen ...

Active Acoustic Su-Schrieffer-Heeger-Like Metamaterial

Hervé Lissek, Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Mathieu François Padlewski, Maxime Volery, Xinxin Guo

An acoustic dimer composed of two electronically controlled electroacoustic resonators is presented with the view of exploring one-dimensional topological phenomena. Active control allows real-time manipulation of the metamaterial’s properties, including i ...

Evidence of a coupled electron-phonon liquid in NbGe2

Mathieu François Padlewski, Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Matthias Carsten Putzke, Hao Yang

Whereas electron-phonon scattering relaxes the electron's momentum in metals, a perpetual exchange of momentum between phonons and electrons may conserve total momentum and lead to a coupled electron-phonon liquid. Such a phase of matter could be a platfor ...

Probing intraband excitations in ZrTe5: A high-pressure infrared and transport study

Helmuth Berger, Ana Akrap, Mathieu François Padlewski, Edoardo Martino, Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Matthias Carsten Putzke

Zirconium pentatetelluride, ZrTe5, shows remarkable sensitivity to hydrostatic pressure. In this work we address the high-pressure transport and optical properties of this compound, on samples grown by flux and chemical vapor transport. The high-pressure r ...
