Achieving acoustic cloak by using compressible background flow

We propose a scheme of acoustic spherical cloaking by means of background irrotational flow in compressible fluid.The background flow forms a virtual curved spacetime and directs the sound waves to bypass the cloaked objects. To satisfy the laws of real fluid, we show that spatially distributed mass source and momentum source are necessary to supply. The propagation of sound waves in this system is studied via both geometric acoustics approximation and full wave approach.The analytic solution of sound fields is obtained for plane wave incidence. The results reveal the effect of phase retardation(or lead) in comparison with the ordinary transformation-acoustic cloak. In addition, the ability of cloaking is also evaluated for unideal background flows by analyzing the scattering cross section.     

While rotating while cloaking

Invisible optical and thermal cloaking have been explored as the typical demonstrations of the transformation optics and thermotics theory. However, the existing cloaks are realized by only one-coordinate transformation, and the cloaking layout, i.e. the form of electromagnetic wave/heat passing around the invisible region, is single for a long time. Here, we propose a new rotated thermal cloak which can unify the conventional cloaking and rotating together, and realize the while-rotating–while-cloaking effect. The required anisotropic thermal conductivity tensor is deduced from the new geometric mapping. Though rotated, the heat flux can be tuned around the central invisible region perfectly by the proposed rotated thermal cloak. The underlying physics is explored by comprehensive analysis of the distribution of the thermal conductivity tensor, which is further compared with those of the conventional cloak and rotator. The experimental feasibility is also discussed by validating the practical while-rotating–while-cloaking effect through a proof-of-concept design. The proposed rotated thermal cloak is expected to extend the possibility of cloaking scheme, and open avenues for the multiple coordinate transformation in counterpart physical fields, like optics, electrics, acoustics, magnetics, mechanics, etc.     

Examination of the Thermal Cloaking Effectiveness with Layered Engineering Materials

The concentrically layered thermal cloaks with isotropic materials could realize the equivalent thermal cloaking effect with Pendry's cloak,while the effectiveness is scarcely investigated quantitatively.Here we examine the cloaking effectiveness quantitatively by evaluating the standard deviation of the temperature difference between the simulated plane with the layered thermal cloak and Pendry's thermal cloak.The design rules for the isotropic materials in terms of thermal conductivity and layer thickness are presented.The present method could quantitatively evaluate the cloaking effectiveness,and could open avenues for analyzing the cloaking effect,detecting the(anti-) cloaks,etc.     

An integral equation approach to acoustic cloaking

The paper presents an original boundary integral equation (BIE) formulation for the analysis of the acoustic cloaking of a scatterer. The advantage of such an approach is the lower computational burden, especially when the analysis of a large portion of the hosting domain is required. The partial differential equation governing the propagation inside the cloak is recast in the form of non-homogeneous wave equation, with field sources depending on the mechanical properties of the cloak. The boundary integral formulation is derived using the standard procedure. The boundary element method (BEM) is used to derive the matrix transfer function of the cloak. The latter is applied to the incident field at the cloak's outer boundary to obtain the total field at arbitrary locations in the host. The formulation is applied to the simple case of a radially symmetric cloak embedding a circular obstacle. Numerical results are presented for sound-hard and sound-soft obstacles, including a study of the cloaking efficiency as a function of the frequency.     

Performance investigation of nanoscale thermal cloak by the perforated silicon film

In recent years, nanoscale thermal cloak, as a representative of nanoscale heat flux regulation devices, has attracted a lot of attention from researchers. However, the existing design methods are relatively complicated and all adopt constant temperature boundaries, the temperature changes constantly in the real environment, which greatly hinders its engineering applications. In this paper, inspired by phonon localization theory, we construct a nanoscale thermal cloak by a perforated silicon membrane and evaluate its cloaking performance and dynamic response. Results show that when the perforated area is fixed, the more the number of holes, the better the cloaking performance. In addition, the nanoscale thermal cloak still exhibits good cloaking performance in the dynamic environment. Finally, the cloaking mechanism is analyzed by calculating the phonon density of states (PDOS) and mode participation rate (MPR), and the reduction of thermal conductivity in the functional region is attributed to phonon localization.     

Construction and mechanism analysis on nanoscale thermal cloak by in-situ annealing silicon carbide film

In recent years,there is a strong interest in thermal cloaking at the nanoscale,which has been achieved by using graphene and crystalline silicon films to build the nanoscale thermal cloak according to the classical macroscopic thermal cloak model.Silicon carbide,as a representative of the third-generation semiconductor material,has splendid properties,such as the high thermal conductivity and the high wear resistance.Therefore,in the present study,we build a nanoscale thermal cloak based on silicon carbide.The cloaking performance and the perturbation of the functional area to the external temperature filed are analyzed by the ratio of thermal cloaking and the response temperature,respectively.It is demonstrated that silicon carbide can also be used to build the nanoscale thermal cloak.Besides,we explore the influence of inner and outer radius on cloaking performance.Finally,the potential mechanism of the designed nanoscale thermal cloak is investigated by calculating and analyzing the phonon density of states(PDOS)and mode participation rate(MPR)within the structure.We find that the main reason for the decrease in the thermal conductivity of the functional area is phonon localization.This study extends the preparation method of nanoscale thermal cloaks and can provide a reference for the development of other nanoscale devices.
