'Fraternal-twin' ferroelectricity: competing polar states in hydrogen-doped samarium nickelate from first principles
In ferroelectric switching, an applied electric field switches the system between two polar symmetry-equivalent states. In this work, we use first-principles calculations to explore the polar states of hydrogen-doped samarium nickelate (SNO) at a concentra ...
Iop Publishing Ltd2024Dynamic nuclear polarisation of 1H in Gd-doped In(OH)3
David Lyndon Emsley, Michael Allan Hope, Yuxuan Zhang, Amrit Venkatesh
Dynamic nuclear polarisation (DNP) of solids doped with high-spin metal ions, such as Gd3+, is a useful strategy to enhance the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) sensitivity for these samples. Spin diffusion can relay polarisation throughout a sample, which ...
ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE2023Polarization-Controlled Chromo-Encryption
Olivier Martin, Hsiang-Chu Wang
The response of simple plasmonic nanorods to polarized illumination is studied in detail. Depending on the orientation of that polarization with respect to the symmetry axes of the nanostructure, a chiral response can occur, which can be analyzed through a ...
WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH2023Interactions of Cavitation Bubbles with Deformable Interfaces
Cavitation is a topic that has long been of interest due to the large and growing range of applications associated with it. This is mainly because the collapse of cavitation bubbles releases a considerable amount of energy into the surrounding environment. ...
EPFL2023Symmetry-Induced Singlet-Triplet Inversions in Non-Alternant Hydrocarbons
Marc Hamilton Folkmann Garner, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Jacob Terence Blaskovits
Molecules with inversion of the singlet and triplet excited-state energies are highly promising for the development of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). To date, azaphenalenes are the only class of molecules where these inversions have been identified ...
2023Twisting instabilities in elastic ribbons with inhomogeneous pre-stress: A macroscopic analog of thermodynamic phase transition
Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Michael Christopher Gomez
We study elastic ribbons subject to large, tensile pre-stress confined to a central region within the cross-section. These ribbons can buckle spontaneously to form helical shapes, featuring regions of alternating chirality (phases) that are separated by so ...
PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2023Quasi-symmetry-protected topology in a semi-metal
Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Matthias Carsten Putzke, Yi-Chiang Sun, Chunyu Guo, Xiangwei Huang, Jonas De Jesus Diaz Gomez
The concept of quasi-symmetry-a perturbatively small deviation from exact symmetry-is introduced and leads to topological materials with strong resilience to perturbations. The crystal symmetry of a material dictates the type of topological band structure ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2022Mismatched Decoding Reliability Function at Zero Rate
We derive an upper bound on the reliability function of mismatched decoding for zero-rate codes. The bound is based on a result by Komlos that shows the existence of a subcode with certain symmetry properties. The bound is shown to coincide with the expurg ...
IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC2022A fast algorithm to find reduced hyperplane unit cells and solve N-dimensional Bezout's identities
Deformation twinning on a plane is a simple shear that transforms a unit cell attached to the plane into another unit cell equivalent by mirror symmetry or 180 degrees rotation. Thus, crystallographic models of twinning require the determination of the sho ...
