Chirality of Triangular Antiferromagnetic Clusters as a Qubit

Frédéric Mila

We show that the chirality of triangular antiferromagnetic clusters can be used as a qubit even if it is entirely decoupled from the total spin of the cluster. In particular, we estimate the orbital moment associated with the chirality, and we show that it ...

Bulk homochirality of a 3-D inorganic framework: ligand control of inorganic network chirality

Philip Pattison

Enantioselective synthesis of a 3-D inorganic net has been achieved leading to metal–organic frameworks built from cobalt-oxide helices in which handedness is controlled by the chirality of the linked ligand. ...

Numerical and experimental analysis of the static compliance of chiral truss-core airfoils

Alessandro Spadoni

This paper presents an innovative wing profile featuring an internal truss-like structure of chiral topology. The chiral design is selected because of its unique deformation characteristics, which produce a theoretical, in-plane Poisson's ratio of -1. Such ...

Structural and acoustic behavior of chiral truss-core beams

Alessandro Spadoni

This paper analyzes the structural and acoustic behavior of sandwich beams with a chiral truss-core. This particular core configuration is considered to exploit some of the unique properties of the chiral geometry and to explore their potential benefits in ...

Numerical and Experimental Analysis of the Static and Dynamic Morphing Characteristics of a Chiral Core Airfoil

Alessandro Spadoni

Aeroelastic tailoring requires structural compliance and thus often conflicts with stiffness requirements to carry prescribed aerodynamic loads. Recently however, the application of cellular structural concepts has suggested the potential to achieve compli ...

Chiral hexagonal cellular sandwich structures: dynamic response

Alessandro Spadoni

Periodic cellular configurations with negative Poisson's ratio have attracted the attention of several researchers because of their superior dynamic characteristics. Among the geometries featuring a negative Poisson's ratio, the chiral topology possesses a ...

Global and local linear buckling behavior of a chiral cellular structure

Alessandro Spadoni

This paper investigates the flat-wise compression behavior of an innovative cellular structure configuration. The considered layout has a hexagonal chiral geometry featuring cylinders, or nodes, joined by ligaments, or ribs. The resulting assembly is chara ...

Structural and acoustic behavior of chiral truss-core beams

Alessandro Spadoni

The vibration-reduction and sound-absorption properties of a truss-core sandwich beam are analyzed. The core is composed by the assembly of unit cells across both the length and thickness of the proposed beam. The cells have chiral geometry which features ...
