Particles initially at rest hit by a passing sandwich gravitational wave exhibit, in general, thevelocity memory effect (VM): they fly apart with constant velocity. For specific values of the wave parameters their motion can however become pure displacement (DM) as suggested by Zel'dovich and Polnarev. For such a ``miraculous'' value, the particle trajectory is composed of an integer number of (approximate) standing half-waves. Our statements are illustrated numerically by a Gaussian, and analytically by the P\"oschl-Teller profiles.

  1. Pulse-induced memory-like effect in cyclotron motion?

    physics.class-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A short electric pulse changes a cyclotron orbit's center, radius, and speed permanently, and the effect is traced to a gauge transformation of the vector potential.

  2. Memory Effect for deformed gravitational waves

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Displacement memory in squeezed Pöschl–Teller gravitational waves is lost in the finite-amplitude impulsive limit; restoring it requires amplitudes that diverge as the squeezing parameter p→∞.
