Electronic in-plane symmetry breaking at field-tuned quantum criticality in CeRhIn5

Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Maja Deborah Bachmann, Kent Robert Shirer

Electronic nematic materials are characterized by a lowered symmetry of the electronic system compared to the underlying lattice, in analogy to the directional alignment without translational order in nematic liquid crystals1. Such nematic phases appear in ...

The symmetry of partner modelling

Pierre Dillenbourg, Nicolas Nova, Séverin Lemaignan, Mirweis Sangin, Gaëlle Molinari

Collaborative learning has often been associated with the construction of a shared understanding of the situation at hand. The psycholinguistics mechanisms at work while establishing common grounds are the object of scientific controversy. We postulate tha ...

Mixed-Mode I/II fracture behavior of asymmetric composite joints

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Moslem Shahverdi

The partitioning of the total strain energy release rate, G(tot), into the Mode I, G(I), and Mode II, G(II), components is challenging, especially in asymmetric cracks. Although many researchers have studied the fracture behavior of composite materials und ...

Weyl and Ricci gauging from the coset construction

Alexander Monin, Georgios Karananas

In this paper we demonstrate how, using the coset construction, a theory can be systematically made Weyl invariant by gauging the scale symmetry. We show that an analog of the inverse Higgs constraint allows the elimination of the Weyl vector (gauge) field ...

Minimal model for spontaneous cell polarization and edge activity in oscillating, rotating and migrating cells

Jean-Jacques Meister, Chiara Gabella, Franck Claude Raynaud, Alicia Carine Bornert

How cells break symmetry and organize activity at their edges to move directionally is a fundamental question in cell biology. Physical models of cell motility commonly incorporate gradients of regulatory proteins and/or feedback from the motion itself to ...

Structure and Mechanism of the Influenza A M2(18-60) Dimer of Dimers

David Lyndon Emsley

We report a magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR structure of the drug-resistant S31N mutation of M2(18-60) from Influenza A. The protein was dispersed in diphytanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine lipid bilayers, and the spectra and an extensive set of constraints ...

Spectral signatures of high-symmetry quantum dots and effects of symmetry breaking

Elyahou Kapon, Alok Rudra, Marc-André Dupertuis, Daniel Oberli, Valentina Troncale

High symmetry epitaxial quantum dots (QDs) with three or more symmetry planes provide a very promising route for the generation of entangled photons for quantum information applications. The great challenge to fabricate nanoscopic high symmetry QDs is furt ...

Polarization properties and disorder effects in H-3 photonic crystal cavities incorporating site-controlled, high-symmetry quantum dot arrays

Elyahou Kapon, Alok Rudra, Benjamin Dwir, Pascal Gallo, Alessandro Surrente, Marco Felici

We report on the effects of optical disorder on breaking the symmetry of the cavity modes of H-3 photonic crystal cavities incorporating site-controlled pyramidal quantum dots (QDs) as the internal light source. The high in-plane symmetry of the polarizati ...
