Summary: This study develops a transformation theory for manipulating the illusion effects of flexural waves. By introducing tailor-made thickness profiles on different curved shapes, the flexural waves can propagate in a way that is different from the actual configuration. Numerical simulations and experimental mapping confirm the effectiveness of this approach and reveal its potential applications in structural designs.

Summary: Based on eight Ge3Sb2Te6-based meta-atoms, the reconfiguration of mid-infrared wavefront is achieved by switching the phase states of germanium antimony telluride (GST). Full phase coverage with a phase gradient of 45 degrees is achieved by crystalline Ge3Sb2Te6, while the original properties are lost when Ge3Sb2Te6 is switched to the amorphous state. Four metasurfaces, including two metalenses and two orbital angular momentum (OAM) generators, are presented to verify the characteristics of the designs. The dynamic manipulation between focusing and defocusing is realized by switching between crystalline and amorphous Ge3Sb2Te6, and the OAM mode of vortex beam can be reconstructed. Our designs have potential applications in focusing, switching, and encryption.

Summary: In this study, a novel electromagnetic-acoustic splitter (EAS) based on copper plates is proposed, which can simultaneously produce identical beam-splitting effects for transverse magnetic (TM)-polarized electromagnetic and acoustic waves. The beam splitting ratio of the proposed EAS can be simply tuned by changing the incident angle of the input beam, without additional energy consumption. Simulated results verify that the proposed EAS can create two transmitted split beams with a tunable splitting ratio for both electromagnetic and acoustic waves. This may have applications in dual-field navigation/detection, offering additional information and higher accuracy compared with single-field navigation/detection.

Summary: Researchers have demonstrated a plasma-metamaterial composite device that can function as an absorber, scatterer, or flattener by changing a narrow-range microwave frequency. This device creates abnormal permeability in the space with plasma acting as a dynamic medium for manipulating microwaves, and experimental verification of microwave manipulation has been conducted through monitoring scattering energy.
