The influence of the initial distance between dislocations on the trajectories of singularities is examined in detail, and the distinctive characteristics of this dependence are highlighted. The trajectory of the displacement of centroids of singularities from one group of nested spirals during the propagation for various topological charges is investigated.

Particularly, the photonic spin Hall effect (PSHE) which is the microscopic spin splitting into circular polarization has given rise to novel applications, for example, precision metrology. The PSHE is well explored at planar interfaces, however much less attention is given to it when the optical potential gradient is of higher dimensionality, i.e., for nanoparticles. In this review, the theoretical description of the PSHE as well as the SOI in the scattering of light from nanoparticles are covered.

The simulation results show that the average sound attenuation reaches 17 dB in the range of 0–5000 Hz due to the multilevel Fano resonance effect during the sound wave propagation process. Meanwhile, the sound field distribution law and the flow diagram also verify that the multilevel Fano resonance mechanism is the key factor causing broadband sound absorption. Then, the AMCS is fabricated by 3D printing, and the simulation results are verified by the acoustic experiment for AMCS cell. Additionally, to further enhance the overall sound attenuation in the railroad noise field, a simulation model of the combined train-track-AMCS sound barrier coupling is developed, and it is found that the AMCS type sound barrier can effectively block the propagation of wheel-rail noise from different angles, and it possesses a noise reduction of 20 dB in all frequency bands.</p>","PeriodicalId":7896,"journal":{"name":"Annalen der Physik","volume":"537 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143595444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}
