Induced giant piezoelectricity in centrosymmetric oxides

Paul Muralt, Dragan Damjanovic, Vasiliki Tileli, Mahmoud Hadad, Lukas Riemer, Daesung Park

Piezoelectrics are materials that linearly deform in response to an applied electric field. As a fundamental prerequisite, piezoelectric materials must have a noncentrosymmetric crystal structure. For more than a century, this has remained a major obstacle ...

Emerging dimensions of cellular cGAS-STING signaling

Andrea Ablasser, Baptiste Claude André Guey

The recognition of DNA through the cGAS-STING pathway plays a critical role in antiviral immunity, but can also drive maladaptive immune responses underlying several pathological conditions. Despite its importance, understanding the organization of cGAS-ST ...

Crossover between distinct symmetries in solid solutions of rare earth nickelates

Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander, Bernat Mundet, Jean-Marc Triscone

A strong coupling of the lattice to functional properties is observed in many transition metal oxide systems, such as the ABO(3) perovskites. In the quest for tailor-made materials, it is essential to be able to control the structural properties of the com ...

Irvsp: To obtain irreducible representations of electronic states in the VASP

Quansheng Wu, Ziyi Wang

We present an open-source program irvsp, to compute irreducible representations of electronic states for all 230 space groups with an interface to the Vienna ab-initio Simulation Package. This code is fed with plane-wave-based wavefunctions (e.g. WAVECAR) ...

Experimental studies of the equilibrium and out-of-equilibrium electronic structure of non-symmorphic topological materials

Gianmarco Gatti

Symmetry and topology are fundamental properties of nature. Mathematics provides us with a general framework to understand these concepts. On one side, symmetry describes the invariance properties of an object for specific transformations. On the other sid ...

Raman spectroscopy and lattice dynamics calculations of tetragonally-structured single crystal zinc phosphide (Zn3P2) nanowires

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Elias Zsolt Stutz, Jean-Baptiste Leran, Mahdi Zamani, Simon Robert Escobar Steinvall, Rajrupa Paul, Mirjana Dimitrievska

Earth-abundant and low-cost semiconductors, such as zinc phosphide (Zn3P2), are promising candidates for the next generation photovoltaic applications. However, synthesis on commercially available substrates, which favors the formation of defects, and cont ...

Direct Observation of Worm‐Like Nanochannels and Emergent Magnon Motifs in Artificial Ferromagnetic Quasicrystals

Dirk Grundler, Sho Watanabe, Vinayak Shantaram Bhat

Quasicrystalline structures and aperiodic metamaterials find applications ranging from established consumer gadgets to potential high‐tech photonic components owing to both complex arrangements of constituents and exotic rotational symmetries. Magnonics is ...

Multi-View Triangulation: Systematic Comparison and an Improved Method

Peng Song

Triangulation is an important task in the 3D reconstruction of computer vision. It seems simple to find the position of a point in 3D space when its 2D perspective projections in multi-view images are given and the corresponding camera projection matrices ...

Bulk single-crystal growth of the theoretically predicted magnetic Weyl semimetals RAlGe (R = Pr, Ce)

Jonathan White, Neeraj Kumar

We explore two methods for single-crystal growth of the theoretically proposed magnetic Weyl semimetals RAlGe (R = Pr, Ce), which prove that a floating-zone technique, being both crucible- and flux-free, is crucial to obtain perfectly stoichiometric RAlGe ...

Structural disorder and magnetic correlations driven by oxygen doping in Nd2NiO4+delta (delta similar to 0.11)

We investigated the influence of oxygen overstoichiometry on apical oxygen disorder and magnetic correlations in Nd2NiO4+delta (delta similar to 0.11) in the temperature range of 2-300 K by means of synchrotron x-ray powder diffraction, neutron single-crys ...
