Chiral Modes at Exceptional Points in Exciton-Polariton Quantum Fluids by Gao, T., Li, G., Estrecho, E., Liew, Timothy Chi Hin, Comber-Todd, D., Nalitov, A., Steger, M., West, K., Pfeiffer, L., Snoke, D. W., Kavokin, A. V., Truscott, A. G., Ostrovskaya, E. A.

“…In particular, a vortex is generated by driving two dipole modes of the non-Hermitian ring resonator into degeneracy. Transition through the exceptional point in the space of the system’s parameters is enabled by precise manipulation of real and imaginary parts of the closed-wall potential forming the resonator. …”

Additive friction stir processing by Lin, Longyi

“…The continuous dynamic recrystalisation during FSP also gave finer grains, which was further enhanced with the addition of CNTs through Zener pinning effect. The improvement in tensile strengths due to finer grains through the Hall-Petch mechanism was insufficient to compensate for the drop in Orowan strengthening. …”
