The principal aim of this thesis is to gain a better understanding of the competition between magnetic and quadrupolar degrees of freedom on two-dimensional lattices. Recent experimental investigations of the material NiGa2S4 revealed several anomalous pro ...
We show that the recently proposed integer-forcing linear receiver provides an attractive approach to the problem of mitigating external interference in MIMO channels. The integer-forcing receiver proceeds by first decoding a set of full rank integer linea ...
Motivated by the ongoing investigation of SrCu2(BO3)(2) under pressure, we study a variant of the two-dimensional Shastry-Sutherland (SS) spin-1/2 model with two types of dimers. Combined with the frustration of the SS model, this modification induces, in ...
Given a triple (p(1), p(2), p(3)) of primes, the object of this paper is the study of the space Hom(T-p1,T-p2,T-p3, G) of homomorphisms from the triangle group T-p1,T-p2,T-p3 to a finite simple exceptional group G of Lie type B-2(2), (2)G(2), G(2) or D-3(4 ...
The charge-flipping algorithm in its band-flipping variant is capable of ab initio reconstructions of scattering densities with positive and negative values. It is shown that the method can be applied to reconstructions of difference electron densities of ...
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 ...

We investigate the dominant phonon wavevectors q* and the associated dominant phonon-assisted electronic transitions implied by the 2D Raman mode of graphene by combining ab initio calculations with a full two-dimensional integration over the graphene Bril ...
We address the lattice deformation of 1T-TiSe2 within the exciton condensate phase. We show that, at low temperature, condensed excitons influence the lattice through electron-phonon interaction. It is found that at zero temperature, in the exciton condens ...
Spangolite, Cu6Al(SO4)(OH)12Cl·3H2O, is a hydrated layered copper sulfate mineral. The Cu2+ ions of each layer form a systematically depleted triangular lattice which approximates a maple leaf lattice. We present details of the crystal structure, which sug ...
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 ...
