Over the past two decades, the advent of femtosecond lasers, which can deliver ultrashort and coherent light pulses, has ushered the ARPES technique into the time domain. Currently time-resolved ARPES (TR-ARPES) can probe ultrafast electron dynamics and the out-of-equilibrium electronic structure, providing a wealth of information that is otherwise unattainable in conventional ARPES experiments. This review begins with an introduction to the theoretical underpinnings of TR-ARPES followed by a description of recent advances in state-of-the-art ultrafast sources and optical excitation schemes. It then reviews paradigmatic phenomena investigated by TR-ARPES thus far, such as out-of-equilibrium electronic states and their spin dynamics, Floquet-Volkov states, photoinduced phase transitions, electron-phonon coupling, and surface photovoltage effects. Each section highlights TR-ARPES data from diverse classes of quantum materials, including semiconductors, charge-ordered systems, topological materials, excitonic insulators, Van der Waals materials, and unconventional superconductors. These examples demonstrate how TR-ARPES has played a critical role in unraveling the complex dynamical properties of quantum materials. The conclusion outlines possible future directions and opportunities.","PeriodicalId":21172,"journal":{"name":"Reviews of Modern Physics","volume":"78 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":44.1,"publicationDate":"2024-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139976835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Compared with conventional schemes, metamaterials provide an unprecedented potential for governing diffusion processes, based on emerging theories like the transformation and the scattering-cancellation theory that expanded the original concepts and suggested innovative metamaterial-based devices. The term <i>diffusionics</i> is used in the review to generalize these noteworthy achievements in various energy and mass diffusion systems. Examples include heat diffusion systems and particle and plasma diffusion systems. For clarity the numerous studies published over the past decade are categorized by diffusion field (i.e., heat, particles, and plasmas) and discussed from three different perspectives: the theoretical perspective, to detail how the transformation principle is applied to each diffusion field; the application perspective, to introduce various interesting metamaterial-based devices, such as cloaks and radiative coolers; and the physics perspective, to connect them with concepts of recent concern, such as non-Hermitian topology, nonreciprocal transport, and spatiotemporal modulation. The possibility of controlling diffusion processes beyond metamaterials is also discussed. Finally, several future directions for diffusion metamaterial research, including the integration of metamaterials with artificial intelligence and topology concepts, are examined.","PeriodicalId":21172,"journal":{"name":"Reviews of Modern Physics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":44.1,"publicationDate":"2024-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139733496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their robust, membranelike sheets permit (mostly require) deposition, giving rise to solid-solid dry interfaces whose mobility, pinning, and general tribological properties under shear stress are currently being understood and controlled, both experimentally and theoretically. In this Colloquium simulated case studies of twisted graphene systems are used as a prototype workhorse tool to demonstrate and discuss the general picture of 2D material interface sliding. First highlighted is the crucial mechanical difference, often overlooked, between small and large incommensurabilities, which corresponds to, for example, small and large twist angles in graphene interfaces. In both cases, focusing on flat, structurally lubric or “superlubric” geometries, the generally separate scalings with the area of static friction in pinned states and of kinetic friction during sliding are elucidated and reviewed, tangled as they are with the effects of velocity, temperature, load, and defects. The roles of island boundaries and elasticity are also discussed, and compared when possible to results in the literature for systems other than graphene. It is proposed that the resulting picture of pinning and sliding should be applicable to interfaces in generic 2D materials that are of importance for the physics and technology of existing and future bilayer and multilayer systems.","PeriodicalId":21172,"journal":{"name":"Reviews of Modern Physics","volume":"62 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":44.1,"publicationDate":"2024-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139715325","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With a focus on merely a corner of this fast-growing subject, it is demonstrated how one class of such theories, symmetric tensor and coupled-vector gauge theories, surprisingly emerge from familiar elasticity of a two-dimensional quantum crystal. The disclination and dislocation crystal defects, respectively, map onto charges and dipoles of the fracton gauge theory. This fracton-elasticity duality leads to predictions of fractonic phases and quantum phase transitions to their descendants that are duals of the commensurate crystal, supersolid, smectic, and hexatic liquid crystals, as well as amorphous solids, quasicrystals, and elastic membranes. It is shown how these dual gauge theories provide a field-theoretic description of quantum melting transitions through a generalized Higgs mechanism. It is demonstrated how they can be equivalently constructed as gauged models with global multipole symmetries. Extensions of such gauge-elasticity dualities to generalized elasticity theories are expected to provide a route to the discovery of new fractonic models and their potential experimental realizations.","PeriodicalId":21172,"journal":{"name":"Reviews of Modern Physics","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":44.1,"publicationDate":"2024-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139110210","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, until recently much of our knowledge about the mechanics of insect flight was derived from studies on relatively large insects, such as flies, honeybees, hawkmoths, and dragonflies. Because of their small size, many miniature insects fly at a Reynolds number (<math display=\"inline\" xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\"><mrow><mi>Re</mi></mrow></math>) on the order of 10 or less.

The great importance of viscosity for miniature insects means that their flight relies on physical mechanisms that are different than those exploited by large insects. These differences range from the nature of the wing stroke to the structure of the wings, with some insects even using porous (bristled) wings to fly. Over the past decade, much work has been done in the study of the mechanics of flight in miniature insects: novel flapping modes have been discovered and new mechanisms of aerodynamic-force generation have been revealed; progress has also been made on fluid-mechanics-related flight problems such as flight power requirements and flight dynamic stability.
