Incommensurate phases

Incommensurately modulated crystalline phases are part of a more general family called aperiodic crystals. Their symmetry is treated within the theoretical framework of superspace groups that is a generalization of the 3D space groups that are used for con ...

Diversity of radial spin textures in chiral materials

Oleg Yazyev, Daniel Gosalbez Martinez, Alberto Crepaldi

We introduce a classification of the radial spin textures in momentum space that emerge at the high-symmetry points in crystals characterized by nonpolar chiral point groups (D2, D3, D4, D6, T, O). Based on the symmetry constraints imposed by these point g ...

Duality and bicrystals on infinite binary matrices

Thomas Gerber

The set of finite binary matrices of a given size is known to carry a finite type AA bicrystal structure. We first review this classical construction, explain how it yields a short proof of the equality between Kostka polynomials and one-dimensional sums t ...

Periodic and Aperiodic NiFe Nanomagnet/Ferrimagnet Hybrid Structures for 2D Magnon Steering and Interferometry with High Extinction Ratio

Dirk Grundler, Sho Watanabe, Andrea Mucchietto, Shixuan Shan, Elif Nur Dayi, Vinayak Shantaram Bhat

Magnons, quanta of spin waves, are known to enable information processing with low power consumption at the nanoscale. So far, however, experimentally realized half-adders, wave-logic and binary output operations were based on few µm-long spin waves and re ...

Shear and Breathing Modes of Layered Materials

Nicola Marzari, Giovanni Pizzi, Marco Gibertini

Layered materials (LMs), such as graphite, hexagonal boron nitride, and transition-metal dichalcogenides, are at the center of an ever-increasing research effort, due to their scientific and technological relevance. Raman and infrared spectroscopies are ac ...

Promoting Persistent Superionic Conductivity in Sodium Monocarba-closo-dodecaborate NaCB11H12 via Confinement within Nanoporous Silica

Mirjana Dimitrievska

Superionic phases of bulk anhydrous salts based on large cluster-like polyhedral (carba)borate anions are generally stable only well above room temperature, rendering them unsuitable as solid-state electrolytes in energy-storage devices that typically oper ...

Quantum spin liquid phases in the bilinear-biquadratic two-SU(4)-fermion Hamiltonian on the square lattice

Olivier Clément Romain Gauthé

We consider the phase diagram of the most general SU(4)-symmetric two-site Hamiltonian for a system of two fermions per site (i.e., self-conjugate 6 representation) on the square lattice. It is known that this model hosts magnetic phases breaking SU(4) sym ...

Spherical Convolutionnal Neural Networks: Empirical Analysis of SCNNs

Frédérick Matthieu Gusset

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are powerful tools in Deep Learning mainly due to their ability to exploit the translational symmetry present in images, as they are equivariant to translations. Other datasets present different types of symmetries (e.g ...

New refinement of the crystal structure of Zn(NH3)(2)Cl-2 at 100 K

Arnaud Magrez, Trpimir Ivsic

The crystal structure of [ZnCl2(NH3)(2)], diamminedichloridozinc, was reinvestigated at low temperature, revealing the positions of the hydrogen atoms and thus a deeper insight into the hydrogen-bonding scheme in the crystal packing. In comparison with pre ...
