Two-dimensionalmagnetostatic cloaks, evenwhen perfectly designed tomitigate the magnetic field disturbance
of a scatterer, may be still detectable with Aharonov-Bohm (AB) measurements, and therefore may affect
quantum ...

The speed with which electromagnetic energy can be wirelessly transferred from a source to the user is a
crucial indicator for the performance of a large number of electronic and photonic devices. We expect that ...

Aharonov-Bohm (AB) effect is a very significant
phenomenon of quantum mechanics. It demonstrates the significance
of electromagnetic potentials (proportional to fluxes)

Gratings of infinite wires make, perhaps, the simplest class of metasurfaces, which, however, are utilized
for a variety of different objectives in wave manipulation. Importantly, due to their analytical solvability, ...

We show and investigate the optical forces acting on a particle in the vicinity of a
planar waveguide which is lled with hyperbolic material and supports propagation across its

Wave polarization contains valuable information for electromagnetic signal processing; thus, the ability to manipulate it, can be extremely useful in modeling photonic devices. In this work, we propose designs comprised ...
