Dynamical control of topological unidirectional guided resonances via external magnetic field by Bao Jie Zheng, Wei Jie Shi, Hui Yuan Dong, Yong Tao Li, Jia Qi Li, Zheng-Gao Dong, Jin Wang

“…Asymmetric radiation in upward and downward directions supported by leaky modes can be generally exhibited in the reciprocal but geometrical up-down mirror-symmetry-breaking structures, i.e., photonic crystal slabs. Here, we theoretically propose and numerically demonstrate a scheme to break the reciprocity, and to generate and manipulate the unidirectional guided resonances (UGRs) in a one-dimensional magneto-optical (MO) grating, which radiate solely toward one side with no emission in the opposite direction. …”

Breaking up the Canon of Literary Modernity: Classicism in the Ecopoetics of David Hinton and the Materialism of Zeng Shaoli. A Preliminary Outline of Epistemological Changes in Co... by Frank Kraushaar

“… The target of this essay is to open possible pathways to approach the phenomenon of a self-remodeling of classicist poetry in the 20th and early 21st century by focusing on the process from two different angles rarely perceived as related to each other: first, the remodeling of Chinese lyrical classicism through a strand of modern American poetry harking back to Ezra Pound and currently crystallized in the translations of David Hinton and, second, the transition that modern Chinese poetry written in classical language and conforming to prosodic rules of classical style poetry, sometimes referred to as “old style poetry” jiu ti shi, underwent after its rebirth as “unofficial” poetry online since the beginning of this century. …”
