Topological Phenomena in Magnetized Plasma Structures and their Applications for Extreme Control of Electromagnetic Waves
Abstract
The objective of this proposal is the use of gaseous plasmas as the underlying topological material or their integration into topological devices. Plasmas are self-healing and more able to tolerate high intensities than solid materials. Because of the low electron scattering they are more likely to be Hermitian in the dielectric response in comparison to solid-state counterparts. When incorporated into solid-state systems they offer complementary properties that can be varied to reconfigure a device, also enabling the fundamental study of topological dynamics.
