Anomalous‐Chern Steering of Topological Nonreciprocal Guided Waves

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Haoye Qin, Qiaolu Chen, Zhechen Zhang

Nonreciprocal topological edge states based on external magnetic bias have been regarded as the last resort for genuine unidirectional wave transport, showing superior robustness over topological states with preserved time-reversal symmetry. However, fast ...

Re-design of EU DEMO with a low aspect ratio

Hartmut Zohm

The design point that had been chosen for EU DEMO in 2016 is reviewed here and a modification is proposed with a lower aspect ratio. Previously the same aspect ratio, A, was chosen for EU DEMO as in major tokamak experiments including ITER (A = 3.1), and, ...

A Spectral Ansatz for The Long-Time Homogenization of The Wave Equation

Matthias Ruf, Matthias Benjamin Ruf

Consider the wave equation with heterogeneous coefficients in the homogenization regime. At large times, the wave interacts in a nontrivial way with the heterogeneities, giving rise to effective dispersive effects. The main achievement of the present wor ...

Realization of an atomic quantum Hall system in four dimensions

Qi Liu

Modern condensed matter physics relies on the concept of topology to classify matter, from quantum Hall systems to topological insulators. Engineered systems, benefiting from synthetic dimensions, can potentially give access to topological states predicted ...

Iterative removal of sources to model the turbulent electromotive force

Jennifer Waltraud Schober, Abhijit Bhausaheb Bendre

We describe a novel method to compute the components of dynamo tensors from direct magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations. Our method relies upon an extension and generalization of the standard H & ouml;gbom CLEAN algorithm widely used in radio astronomy to ...

Shedding light on the MRI-driven dynamo in a stratified shearing box

Abhijit Bhausaheb Bendre

We study the magneto-rotational instability (MRI) dynamo in a geometrically thin disc (H/R < 1) using stratified zero net (vertical) flux shearing box simulations. We find that mean fields and electromotive forces (EMFs) oscillate with a primary frequency ...

Field-controlled multicritical behavior and emergent universality in fully frustrated quantum magnets

Bruce Normand

Phase transitions in condensed matter are a source of exotic emergent properties. We study the fully frustrated bilayer Heisenberg antiferromagnet to demonstrate that an applied magnetic field creates a previously unknown emergent criticality. The quantum ...

The effect of pressure-anisotropy-driven kinetic instabilities on magnetic field amplification in galaxy clusters

Yoan Rappaz, Jennifer Waltraud Schober

Context. The intracluster medium (ICM) is the low-density diffuse gas that fills the space between galaxies within galaxy clusters. It is primarily composed of magnetized plasma, which reaches virial temperatures of up to 10(8) K, probably due to mergers o ...
