We present a solid state system which spontaneously generates remarkable engraving patterns on the surface of Ge. The layered construction, with a metal film on the Ge surface, results in coupling of the metal catalyzed etching reaction with the long range stress field at the Ge - metal interface. The etching patterns generated have similarities with Turing patterns, hydrodynamic patterns, crack propagation, and biological form. We describe spirals, radial patterns, and more disordered structures. Euler buckling of the metal layer generates a characteristic wavelength for some patterns.

We study the Coupled Nonlinear volatility and option price model via both Modulational instability analysis and direct simulations. Since the coupling term for both the volatility and the option price equation is the same, the MI results are dependent on it, and the stability of the volatility exists for the same condition as that of the price. The numerical simulations are done to comfirm the conditions of MI

We unravel stationary states in the form of dark soliton stripes, bubbles, and kinks embedded in a two-dimensional droplet-bearing setting emulated by an extended Gross-Pitaevskii approach. The existence of these configurations is corroborated through an effectively reduced potential picture demonstrating their concrete parametric regions of existence. The excitation spectra of such configurations are analyzed within the Bogoliubov-de-Gennes framework exposing the destabilization of dark soliton stripes and bubbles, while confirming the stability of droplets, and importantly unveiling spectral stability of the kink against transverse excitations. Additionally, a variational approach is constructed providing access to the transverse stability analysis of the dark soliton stripe for arbitrary chemical potentials and widths of the structure. This is subsequently compared with the stability analysis outcome demonstrating very good agreement at small wavenumbers. Dynamical destabilization of dark soliton stripes via the snake instability is showcased, while bubbles are found to feature both a splitting into a gray soliton pair and a transverse instability thereof. These results shed light on unexplored stability and instability properties of nonlinear excitations in environments featuring a competition of mean-field repulsion and beyond-mean-field attraction that can be probed by state-of-the-art experiments.

Unlike expected from the Hodgkin-Huxley model predictions, in which there is annihilation once orthodromic and antidromic impulses collide, the Heimburg-Jackson model demonstrates that both impulses penetrate each other as it has been shown experimentally. These impulses can be depicted as low amplitude nonlinear excitations in a weakly dissipative soliton model described by the damped NLSE. In view of the above, the Karpman-Solov'ev-Maslov perturbation theory turns out to be ideal to study the interaction and adiabatic evolution of orthodromic and antidromic impulses once axoplasmic fluid is present.

The modulation instability (MI) is responsible for the disintegration of a regular nonlinear wave train and can lead to strong localizations in a from of rogue waves. This mechanism has been studied in a variety of nonlinear dispersive media, such as hydrodynamics, optics, plasma, mechanical systems, electric transmission lines, and Bose-Einstein condensates, while its impact on applied sciences is steadily growing. Following the linear stability analysis of weakly nonlinear waves, the classical MI dynamics, can be triggered when a pair of small-amplitude sidebands are excited within a particular frequency range around the main peak frequency. That is, a three-wave system is usually required to initiate the wave focusing process. Breather solutions of the nonlinear Schr"odinger equation (NLSE) revealed that MI can generate much more complex localized structures, beyond the three-wave system initialization approach or by means of a continuous spectrum. In this work, we report an experimental study for deep-water surface gravity waves asserting that a MI process can be triggered by a single unstable sideband only, and thus, from a two-wave process when including the contribution of the peak frequency. The experimental data are validated against fully nonlinear hydrodynamic numerical wave tank simulations and show very good agreement. The long-term evolution of such unstable wave trains shows a distinct shift in the recurrent Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou focusing cycles, which are captured by the NLSE and fully nonlinear hydrodynamic simulations with minor distinctions.
调制不稳定性(MI)是导致周期性非线性波列解体的原因,并可能导致来自逆波的强局部性。这一机制已在流体力学、光学、等离子体、机械系统、电力传输线和玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚体等多种非线性色散介质中得到研究,其对应用科学的影响也在稳步增长。根据弱非线性波的线性稳定性分析,当一对小振幅边带在主峰频率周围的特定频率范围内被激发时,经典的 MI 动力学就会被触发。也就是说,启动波聚焦过程通常需要一个三波系统。当时的非线性薛定谔方程(NLSE)的呼吸解揭示了 MI 可以产生更复杂的局部结构,超越三波系统初始化方法或通过连续谱的方式。在这项工作中,我们报告了一项针对深水表面重力波的实验研究,断言 MI 过程可以仅由单个不稳定边带触发,因此,当包括峰值频率的贡献时,可以由双波过程触发。实验数据与全非线性流体力学数值波槽模拟进行了验证,结果显示两者非常吻合。这种不稳定波列的长期演化表明,反复出现的费米-帕斯塔-乌兰-钦古聚焦周期发生了明显的变化,NLSE 和完全非线性流体力学模拟捕捉到了这种变化,但两者之间存在细微差别。

We prove the existence of a class of time-localized and space-periodic breathers (called q-gap breathers) in nonlinear lattices with time-periodic coefficients. These q-gap breathers are the counterparts to the classical space-localized and time-periodic breathers found in space-periodic systems. Using normal form transformations, we establish rigorously the existence of such solutions with oscillating tails (in the time domain) that can be made arbitrarily small, but finite. Due to the presence of the oscillating tails, these solutions are coined generalized q-gap breathers. Using a multiple-scale analysis, we also derive a tractable amplitude equation that describes the dynamics of breathers in the limit of small amplitude. In the presence of damping, we demonstrate the existence of transition fronts that connect the trivial state to the time-periodic ones. The analytical results are corroborated by systematic numerical simulations.

The nonlinear Schrodinger equation can support solitons, self-interacting states that remain sharply localized and behave as nearly independent objects. Here, we demonstrate the existence of solitons with self-induced nonreciprocal dynamics in a discrete version of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation. This nonreciprocal behavior depends on the soliton's power, indicating an interplay between linear and nonlinear terms in the Hamiltonian. Starting from static stable solitons at high power, the nonreciprocal behavior manifests as the power is lowered first by the appearance of nonreciprocal linear instabilities on static solitons and then by a full self-induced nonreciprocal regime, in which the solitons propagate with unidirectional acceleration and amplification. We show this behavior to be topologically protected by winding numbers on the solitons' mean-field Hamiltonian and their linear stability matrix, revealing an intimate connection between nonlinear, nonreciprocal dynamics and point gap topology in non-Hermitian linear Hamiltonians.

Soil is a critical component of terrestrial ecosystems, directly influencing global biogeochemical cycles. Despite its importance, the complex architecture of soil pores and their impact on greenhouse gas emissions remain poorly understood. This perspective aims to address this gap by applying symmetry and symmetry-breaking concepts through fractal geometry to elucidate the structural and functional complexities of soil pores. We highlight how fractal parameters can quantify the self-similar nature of soil pore structures, revealing their size, shape, and connectivity. These geometric attributes influence soil properties such as permeability and diffusivity, which are essential for understanding gas exchange and microbial activity within the soil matrix. Furthermore, we emphasize the effects of various land management practices, including tillage and wetting-drying cycles, on soil pore complexity using three-dimensional multi-fractal analysis. Literature indicates that different agricultural practices significantly alter pore heterogeneity and connectivity, affecting greenhouse gas emissions. Conventional tillage decreases pore connectivity and increases randomness, whereas no-tillage preserves larger, more complex pore structures. We propose that integrating combinatorial, geometric, and functional symmetry concepts offers a comprehensive framework for examining the structure-property-function relationships in soil. This novel approach could enhance our understanding of soil's role in the global cycle of greenhouse gases and provide insights into sustainable land management practices aimed at mitigating climate change.

Active matter encompasses many-particle systems with self-propelling units, such as flocks of birds or schools of fish. Here, we show how self-propelling domain walls can be realised in a solid-state system when a ferrimagnet is weakly driven out of thermal equilibrium by an oscillating field. This activates the Goldstone mode, inducing a rotation of the antiferromagnetic xy-order in a clockwise or anticlockwise direction, determined by the sign of the ferromagnetic component. Two opposite directions of rotation meet at a ferromagnetic domain wall, resulting in 'dynamical frustration', with three main consequences. (i) Domain walls move actively in a direction chosen by spontaneous symmetry breaking. Their speed is proportional to the square root of the driving power across large parameter regimes. (ii) In one dimension (1D), after a quench into the ferrimagnetic phase, this motion and strong hydrodynamic interactions lead to a linear growth of the magnetic correlation length over time, much faster than in equilibrium. (iii) The dynamical frustration makes the system highly resilient to noise. The correlation length of the weakly driven 1D system can be orders of magnitude larger than in the corresponding equilibrium system with the same noise level.
