This study investigates the programming of elastic wave propagation bandgaps in periodic and multi‐stable metamaterials by intentionally and uniquely sequencing its constitutive mechanical bits. To this end, stretched kirigami is used as a simple and versatile testing platform. Each mechanical bit in the stretched kirigami can switch between two stable equilibria with different external shapes (aka. “(0)” and “(1)” states). Therefore, by designing the sequence of (0) and (1) bits, one can fundamentally change the underlying periodicity and thus program the phononic bandgap frequencies. This study develops an algorithm to identify the unique periodicities generated by assembling “

Abstract n ‐bit strings” consisting ofn mechanical bits. Based on a simplified geometry of thesen ‐bit strings, this study also formulates a theory to uncover the rich mapping between input sequencing and output bandgaps. The theoretical prediction and experiment results confirm that the (0) and (1) bit sequencing is effective for programming the phonic bandgap frequencies. Moreover, one can additionally fine‐tune the bandgaps by adjusting the global stretch. Overall, the results of this study elucidate new strategies for programming the dynamic responses of architected material systems. -

Abstract Recent studies of Pc5‐band (150–600 s) ultralow frequency waves found that foreshock disturbances can be a driver of dayside compressional waves and field line resonance, which are two typical Pc5 wave modes in the dayside magnetosphere. However, it is difficult to find spatial structure of dayside Pc5 waves using a small number of satellites or ground magnetometers. This study determines 2‐D structure of dayside Pc5 waves and their driver by utilizing coordinated observations by the THEMIS satellites and the all‐sky imager at South Pole during two series of Pc5 waves on 29 June 2008. These Pc5 waves were found to be field line resonances (FLRs) and driven by foreshock disturbances. The ground‐based all‐sky imager at South Pole shows that periodic poleward moving arcs occurred simultaneously with the FLRs near the satellite footprints over ~3
° latitude and had the same frequencies as FLRs. This indicates that they are the auroral signature of the FLRs. The azimuthal distribution of the FLRs in the magnetosphere and their north‐south width in the ionosphere were further determined in the 2‐D images. In the first case, the FLRs distribute symmetrically in the prenoon and postnoon regions with out‐of‐phase oscillation as the odd toroidal mode in the equatorial plane. In the second case, the azimuthal wavelengths of the 350–500 s and 300–450 s period waves were ~8.0 and ~5.2 Re in the equatorial plane. It also shows a fine azimuthal structure embedded in the large‐scale arcs, indicating that a high azimuthal wave number (m ~ 140) mode wave coupled with the low‐wave number FLRs. -

Abstract We investigate high-resolution spectroscopic and imaging observations from the CRisp Imaging SpectroPolarimeter (CRISP) instrument to study the dynamics of chromospheric spicule-type events. It is widely accepted that chromospheric fine structures are waveguides for several types of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) oscillations, which can transport energy from the lower to upper layers of the Sun. We provide a statistical study of 30 high-frequency waves associated with spicule-type events. These high-frequency oscillations have two components of transverse motions: the plane-of-sky (POS) motion and the line-of-sight (LOS) motion. We focus on single isolated spicules and track the POS using time–distance analysis and in the LOS direction using Doppler information. We use moment analysis to find the relation between the two motions. The composition of these two motions suggests that the wave has a helical structure. The oscillations do not have phase differences between points along the structure. This may be the result of the oscillation being a standing mode, or that propagation is mostly in the perpendicular direction. There is evidence of fast magnetoacoustic wave fronts propagating across these structures. To conclude, we hypothesize that the compression and rarefaction of passing magnetoacoustic waves may influence the appearance of spicule-type events, not only by contributing to moving them in and out of the wing of the spectral line but also through the creation of density enhancements and an increase in opacity in the H
α line. -
We study the dynamics of a ferrofluid thin film confined in a Hele-Shaw cell, and subjected to a tilted non-uniform magnetic field. It is shown that the interface between the ferrofluid and an inviscid outer fluid (air) supports travelling waves, governed by a novel modified Kuramoto–Sivashinsky-type equation derived under the long-wave approximation. The balance between energy production and dissipation in this long-wave equation allows for the existence of dissipative solitons. These permanent travelling waves’ propagation velocity and profile shape are shown to be tunable via the external magnetic field. A multiple-scale analysis is performed to obtain the correction to the linear prediction of the propagation velocity, and to reveal how the nonlinearity arrests the linear instability. The travelling periodic interfacial waves discovered are identified as fixed points in an energy phase plane. It is shown that transitions between states (wave profiles) occur. These transitions are explained via the spectral stability of the travelling waves. Interestingly, multi-periodic waves, which are a non-integrable analogue of the double cnoidal wave, are also found to propagate under the model long-wave equation. These multi-periodic solutions are investigated numerically, and they are found to be long-lived transients, but ultimately abruptly transition to one of the stable periodic states identified.more » « less

Abstract Three‐dimensional X‐line spreading is important for the coupling between global dynamics and local kinetic physics of magnetic reconnection. Using large‐scale 3‐D particle‐in‐cell simulations, we investigate the spreading of the X‐line out of the reconnection plane under a strong guide field in asymmetric reconnection. The X‐line spreading speed depends strongly on the equilibrium current sheet thickness. In a simulation with a thick, ion‐scale equilibrium current sheet (CS), the X‐line spreads at the ambient species drift speeds, which are significantly lower than the Alfvén speed based on the guide field
(sub‐Alfvénic spreading). In simulations with a sub‐ion‐scale CS, the X‐line spreads at instead (Alfvénic spreading). An Alfvénic signal consistent with kinetic Alfvén waves develops and propagates, leading to CS thinning and extending, which ultimately causes reconnection onset. The continuous onset of reconnection along the propagation direction of the signal manifests as Alfvénic X‐line spreading. The strong dependence on the CS thickness of the spreading speeds and the orientation of the X‐line are consistent with the collisionless tearing instability. Our simulations indicate that when the collisionless tearing growth is sufficiently strong in a thinner CS such that , Alfvénic X‐line spreading can effectively take place. Our results compare favorably with a number of numerical simulations and recent magnetopause observations. An important implication of this work is that the magnetopause CS is typically too thick for the X‐line to spread at the Alfvén speed.
