Isolated linear carbon chains (LCCs) encapsulated by multiwalled carbon nanotubes are studied under hydrostatic pressure (P) via resonance Raman scattering. The LCCs’ spectroscopic signature C band around 1850 cm−1 softens linearly with increasing P. A simple anharmonic force-constant model not only describes such softening but also shows that the LCCs’ Young’s modulus (E), Grüneisen parameter (γ), and strain (ϵ) follow universal P−1 and P2 laws, respectively. In particular, γ also presents a unified behavior for all LCCs. To the best of our knowledge, these are the first results reported on such isolated systems and the first work to explore universal P-dependent responses for LCCs’ E, ϵ, and γ.

Slow-light waveguides play an important role in optical pulse delay lines, but are practically limited by disorder-induced attenuation. Topological edge states, unidirectional and robust against disorder, have been proposed as a way to address this issue. Here, we study the transmission phase and pulse propagation dynamics through unidirectional systems in the presence of strong discontinuities. We first investigate a magnetically biased slow-light channel, demonstrating broadband pulse delays in small footprints. We uncover a nonreciprocal etalonlike resonance, sustained by propagating forward and evanescent backward modes, affecting pulse propagation and delay. We then show the existence of these features in topologically protected edge states, highlighting their universality. These exotic resonances provide a new degree of freedom in unidirectional waveguides to engineer their response, and they may therefore prove highly useful in various nanophotonic applications.

For damage detection, this research article discusses an easy-to-compute damage index derived from the governing dynamic of the structure that has potential practical application in Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). The research uses simplified structural models to explore the sensitivity of the index to damages, to compare the index performance with a traditional but popular damage detection method, and to understand the local/global predictive capability of the index. The research uses two simple models, namely, single- and two-degree-of-freedom systems. The results suggest that the damage index is local, that can only monitor damages occurring near the points of measurements, but it is sensitive to damages, unlike the natural frequency, which is global but less sensitive.
