Disorder, which qualitatively describes some measure of irregularities in spatial patterns, is
ubiquitous in many-body systems, equilibrium and non-equilibrium states of matter, network …

Topological photonics is a rapidly emerging field of research in which geometrical and
topological ideas are exploited to design and control the behavior of light. Drawing …

Moiré lattices consist of two superimposed identical periodic structures with a relative
rotation angle. Moiré lattices have several applications in everyday life, including artistic …

Topological insulators constitute a newly characterized state of matter that contains scatter-
free edge states surrounding an insulating bulk. Conventional wisdom regards the insulating …

Exploration of the impact of synthetic material landscapes featuring tunable geometrical
properties on physical processes is a research direction that is currently of great interest …

The unrelated discoveries of quasicrystals and topological insulators have in turn
challenged prevailing paradigms in condensed-matter physics. We find a surprising …

The physics of periodic systems are of fundamental importance and result in various
phenomena that govern wave transport and interference. However, deviations from …

One of the most interesting phenomena in solid-state physics is Anderson localization,
which predicts that an electron may become immobile when placed in a disordered lattice …

Solitons, nonlinear self-trapped wavepackets, have been extensively studied in many and
diverse branches of physics such as optics, plasmas, condensed matter physics, fluid …

Over the past decade, the Anderson localization of light and a wide variety of associated
phenomena have come to the forefront of research. Numerous investigations have been …
