Moiré patterns of space-filling curves
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: It is shown on the examples of Moore and Gosper curves that two spatially shifted or twisted, preasymptotic space-filling curves can produce large-scale superstructures akin to moiré patterns. To study physical phenomena emerging from these patterns, a geometrical coupling coefficient based on the Neumann integral is introduced. It is found that moiré patterns appear most defined at the peaks of those coefficients. A physical interpretation of these coefficients as a measure for inductive coupling between radiofrequency resonators leads to a design principle for strongly overlapping resonators with vanishing mutual inductance, which might be interesting for applications in MRI. These findings are demonstrated in graphical, numerical, and physical experiments. Published by the American Physical Society 2024
