The chiral lattice is a unique structural network not symmetric to its mirror image, and with a negative Poisson’s ratio. Previous investigations have considered this structural network for the design of superior structural components with sandwich constru ...
In this paper, we study a Gaussian relay-interference network, in which relay (helper) nodes are to facilitate competing information flows between different source-destination pairs. We focus on two-stage relay-interference networks where there are weak cr ...

Superprism-based deflection of an optical beam is observed in a photonic crystal composed of a triangular lattice of pillars infiltrated with a liquid crystal. The device is based on a Silicon-on-insulator substrate and operates in the telecommunications b ...
We study vison excitations in a quantum dimer model interpolating between the Rokhsar-Kivelson models on the square and triangular lattices. In the square-lattice case, the model is known to be critical and characterized by U(1) topological quantum numbers ...
We study a system of heteronuclear molecules on a triangular lattice and analyze the potential of this system for the experimental realization of a supersolid phase. The ground state phase diagram contains superfluid, solid, and supersolid phases. At finit ...
In many network communication scenarios, a relay in the network may only need to recover and retransmit an equation of the transmitted messages. In previous work, it has been shown that if each transmitter employs the same lattice code, the interference st ...

After reviewing the concept of vison excitations in Z(2) dimer liquids, we study the liquid-crystal transition of the quantum dimer model on the triangular lattice by means of a semiclassical spin-wave approximation to the dispersion of visons in the conte ...
In this paper, we demonstrate the advantage of the inherent algebraic structure of lattice codes, for the uplink channel of a cellular deployment. The out-of-cell interference is assumed to be symmetric, as in Wyner's model. We employ a new relaying techni ...

Random coding arguments are the backbone of most channel capacity achievability proofs. In this paper, we show that in their standard form, such arguments are insufficient for proving some network capacity theorems: structured coding arguments, such as ran ...
Compared to the AlGaN alloy, which can only be grown under tensile strain on GaN, the AlInN alloy is predicted by Vegard's law to be lattice-matched (LM) on fully relaxed GaN templates for an indium content of similar to 17.5%, i.e., it can be grown either ...
