Abstract
- Geometric phases in particle diffusion systems, an intriguing aspect enlightened from thermal systems, offer a different understanding beyond traditional Brownian motion and Fick's laws. This concept introduces a phase factor with significant implications for particle behavior, central to which is the non-Hermitian nature of the Hamiltonian in the diffusion system. A unique structure composed of two rings moving in opposite directions and a stationary intermediate layer plays multifunctional roles in controlling particle diffusion. For the real-world application, a bilayer particle-diffusion cloak is demonstrated, showcasing the extensive control and adaptability achievable through mastering geometric phases. This system has potential applications in industries like healthcare and environmental management, thus expanding the understanding of the geometric phase and offering insights for the design of particle-diffusion metamaterials.<br />Comment: 14 pages, 4 figures. This review article explores the Non Hermitian topological theory in regulating particle diffusion, a concept prominently evidenced by the landmark thermal study Anti parity time Symmetry in Diffusive Systems published in Science, 2019. The review is slated for publication in the forthcoming book, Diffusionics, Diffusion Processes Governed by Diffusion Metamaterials
