The description of phonon heat conduction has typically been based on Fourier diffusion
theory. However, over the past three decades, a host of interesting phonon transport …

Imaging can take many forms—from optical microscopes and telescopes through
ultrasonography to X-ray tomography. However, regardless of the imaging modality, the …

In this paper, we employ the emerging paradigm of physics-informed neural networks
(PINNs) for the solution of representative inverse scattering problems in photonic …

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 …

Crystal defects affect the thermal and heat-transport properties of materials by scattering
phonons and modifying phonon spectra,,,,,,–. To appreciate how imperfections in solids …

Surface waves in topological states of quantum matter exhibit unique protection from
backscattering induced by disorders, making them ideal carriers for both classical and …

The study of phononic materials and structures is an emerging discipline that lies at the
crossroads of vibration and acoustics engineering and condensed matter physics. Broadly …

Bound states in the continuum (BICs) in photonic-crystal slabs have been conventionally
classified into three types: single-resonance parametric, symmetry-protected, and Friedrich …

Non-invasive optical imaging techniques, such as optical coherence tomography,,, are
essential diagnostic tools in many disciplines, from the life sciences to nanotechnology …

In complex media such as white paint and biological tissue, light encounters nanoscale
refractive-index inhomogeneities that cause multiple scattering. Such scattering is usually …
