In the present work, we attempt a brief summary of various areas where non-linear waves have been emerging in the phenomenology of lattice dynamical systems. These areas include non-linear optics, atomic physics, mechanical systems, electrical lattices, non-linear metamaterials, plasma dynamics and granular crystals. We give some of the recent developments in each one of these areas and speculate on some of the potentially interesting directions for future study.read more

Wave propagation in single column woodpile phononic crystals: Formation of tunable band gaps
Eunho Kim,Jinkyu Yang +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the formation of frequency band gaps in single column woodpile phononic crystals composed of orthogonally stacked slender cylinders is investigated. But the authors focus on investigating the effect of the cylinders' local vibrations on the dispersion of elastic waves along the stacking direction of the woodpiles phononic crystal.

Solitary waves in a chain of repelling magnets
TL;DR: In this paper, the dynamics of a one dimensional array of repelling magnets were studied experimentally, numerically, and theoretically, and it was shown that such systems support solitary waves with a profile and propagation speed that depend on the amplitude.

Traveling waves in 2D hexagonal granular crystal lattices.
TL;DR: This study describes the dynamic response of a two-dimensional hexagonal packing of uncompressed stainless steel spheres excited by localized impulsive loadings, and provides scaling relations that characterize the directional power law decay of the wave velocity for various angles of impact.

Traveling waves and their tails in locally resonant granular systems
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors revisited the theme of wave propagation in locally resonant granular crystal systems, referred to as mass-in-mass systems, and used three distinct approaches to identify relevant traveling waves.

Absence of Diffusion in Certain Random Lattices
TL;DR: In this article, a simple model for spin diffusion or conduction in the "impurity band" is presented, which involves transport in a lattice which is in some sense random, and in them diffusion is expected to take place via quantum jumps between localized sites.

Transport and Anderson localization in disordered two-dimensional photonic lattices
TL;DR: The experimental observation of Anderson localization in a perturbed periodic potential is reported: the transverse localization of light caused by random fluctuations on a two-dimensional photonic lattice, demonstrating how ballistic transport becomes diffusive in the presence of disorder, and that crossover to Anderson localization occurs at a higher level of disorder.
