The imaginary and complex branches of the dispersion spectra corresponding to flexural waves in circular cylindrical shells of various wall thicknesses including the solid cylinder have been constructed by utilizing exact three-dimensional equations of linear elasticity. The effects of wall thickness and Poisson ratio on the cut-off frequencies have been studied. Complex branches emanate from the points of frequency extrema on the purely imaginary or purely real branches and intersect the zero frequency plane, either as purely imaginary or as complex branches. The waves associated with complex branches emerging from points on the real plane are less decaying at higher frequencies.

A photonic hypercrystal is a subwavelength periodic structure consisting of alternate layers of hyperbolic metamaterial and dielectric material. The structure can be treated as an effective medium as well as a periodic medium. Since two length scales are involved, the better treatment is to treat the hyperbolic metamaterial as an effective medium and the overall structure as a periodic medium. The dispersion relations are derived and plotted to show the appearance of propagating bands and gaps in the frequency and wave vector domains. Then using the transfer matrix approach, the transmissivity versus the frequency plot for propagating waves and grayscale plot of the transmission coefficient in the frequency versus wave vector plane for the evanescent waves are plotted and analyzed.

An evanescent wave is a nonpropagating wave with an imaginary wave vector. In this study, we prove that these are solutions of the tachyon-like Klein–Gordon equation, and that in the tunneling of ultrarelativistic spin-1/2 particles they describe superluminal states arising from the interactions between a particle and barrier. These states decay as a particle emerges from the opposite side of a potential barrier, conserving the same initial energy but not necessarily the same mass. The obtained theory is applied to the neutrino, to explain flavor oscillations during free flight and determine the conditions that maximize the probability of their occurrence.
