Tunable metasurfaces offer a promising avenue for dynamically modulating terahertz waves. Phase-change materials are crucial in this dynamic modulation, enabling precise and reversible control over the electromagnetic properties of the metasurfaces. In this study, we designed and experimentally fabricated a tunable lattice-induced transparent metasurface. This metasurface comprises two gold rod resonators exhibiting different periodic distributions, each supporting an electric dipole resonance at 2.03 THz and a surface lattice resonance at 1.51 THz, respectively. By combining these structures, we realize lattice-induced transparency. Simulation results show that the phase change of GeSbTe modulates these resonances, with the crystalline state significantly weakening their resonance strength intensity. The maximum modulation depth of the lattice-induced transparency peak can reach 44.4%. Experimental results of laser-induced GST phase changes confirm a modulation depth of 42.4%. This innovative metasurface design holds promise for applications in terahertz communication systems.

However, a multiresonant behavior can enable multiband devices with reduced footprint, and is desired for applications such as display pixels, multispectral imaging and sensing. Multiresonances are typically achieved by engineering the array lattice (e.

Optical lattices and Feshbach resonances are two of the most ubiquitously used tools in atomic physics, allowing for the precise control, discrete confinement, and broad tunability of interacting atomic systems. Using a quantum simulator of lithium-7 atoms in an optical lattice, we investigate Heisenberg spin dynamics near a Feshbach resonance. We find novel resonance features in spin-spin interactions that can be explained only by lattice-induced resonances, which have never been observed before.

Moiré lattices formed in twisted van der Waals bilayers provide a unique, tunable platform to realize coupled electron or exciton lattices unavailable before. While twist angle between the bilayer has been shown to be a critical parameter in engineering the moiré potential and enabling novel phenomena in electronic moiré systems, a systematic experimental study as a function of twist angle is still missing. Here we show that not only are moiré excitons robust in bilayers of even large twist angles, but also properties of the moiré excitons are dependant on, and controllable by, the moiré reciprocal lattice period via twist-angle tuning.

Both the spin and orbital angular momentum of incident beam together with the excited polygonal plasmonic mode contribute to the formation of optical lattices due to the spin-orbit coupling. The impact of the mode property of incident beams on lattice pattern deforming is also discussed.
