Elastic and acoustic wave band structure

TL;DR: In this article, a three Josephson-junction persistent-current qubit is considered, with two junctions being identical, and the third junction differing from the other two by a factor of α in Josephson energy and capacitance.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used matched asymptotic expansions to obtain envelope equations for infinite arrays and then applied them to a strip of doubly or triply periodic arrays of scatterers.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that elastic wave propagation can be completely inhibited, irrespective of propagation directions, if oscillation frequencies of elastic waves fall inside elastic wave band gaps, i.e., three-dimensional frequency stop bands of elastic wave generated in 3D periodic elastic materials.

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.

TL;DR: A new mechanism for strong Anderson localization of photons in carefully prepared disordered dielectric superlattices with an everywhere real positive dielectrics constant is described.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the progress made in the last several years in understanding the properties of disordered electronic systems is presented, focusing on the metal-to-insulator transition and problems associated with the insulator.
