read the original abstract
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.

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

Memory Effect for deformed gravitational waves
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→∞.

Gravitational wave memory: further examples
Under special parameter choices for plane gravitational wave profiles, test particles experience pure displacement memory (zero final velocity) rather than velocity memory.
