We present small angle neutron scattering studies of the vortex lattice (VL) in CeCoIn5 with magnetic fields applied parallel (H) to the antinodal [100] and nodal [110] directions. For H is parallel to [100], a single VL orientation is observed, while a 90° reorientation transition is found for H is parallel to [110]. For both field orientations and VL configurations we find a distorted hexagonal VL with an anisotropy, Γ=2.0±0.05. The VL form factor shows strong Pauli paramagnetic effects similar to what have previously been reported for H is parallel to [001]. At high fields, above which the upper critical field (H(c2)) becomes a first-order transition, an increased disordering of the VL is observed.

This work reports magnetic field direction dependent second magnetisation peak (SMP) anomaly in single crystals of oxygenated [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text] ab. Detailed investigations on crystal A revealed the direction dependence of SMP anomaly at temperatures below 25 K, above which the direction dependence vanishes. The state of spatial order of the vortex lattice was found to be correlated to the vortex lattice symmetry that underwent a change at certain fields and was captured via single flux jumps observed in the third and fifth quadrant of magnetisation hysteresis loops.

The structural periodicity in photonic crystals guarantees the crystal's effective energy band structure, which is the fundamental cornerstone of topological and moiré physics. However, the shear modulus in most fluids is close to zero, which makes it challenging for fluids to maintain spatial periodicity akin to photonic crystals. We realized periodic vortices in hydrodynamic metamaterials and created a bilayer moiré superlattice by stacking and twisting two such vortex fluids.

We investigate synchronization behaviors of a Kuramoto oscillator network with a two-dimensional square-lattice configuration. We show that the oscillator network can reach a phase-locking vortex synchronized state in the long time limit starting from random initial oscillator phases sampled according to the von Mises distribution characterized by a zero mean and a finite concentration parameter. We further reveal that the stability of the vortex synchronized state is sensitive to the presence of local node defects, in contrast to the usual knowledge that oscillator networks should exhibit robustness against local perturbations.

Both infinite quality factor (Q factor) and topological vortex configurations in momentum space (-space) of the bound state in the continuum (BIC) have introduced new dimensions for light modulation. Herein, we propose a moiré metasurface comprising two identical square photonic lattices superimposed with a commensurate angle of 12.

Flat-band periodic materials are characterized by a linear spectrum containing at least one band where the propagation constant remains nearly constant irrespective of the Bloch momentum across the Brillouin zone. These materials provide a unique platform for investigating phenomena related to light localization. Meantime, the interaction between flat-band physics and nonlinearity in continuous systems remains largely unexplored, particularly in continuous systems where the band flatness deviates slightly from zero, in contrast to simplified discrete systems with exactly flat bands.
