We provide a new comparison between hexagonal and orthogonal lattices, based on approximation theory. For each of the lattices, we select the “natural” spline basis function as generator for a shift-invariant function space; i.e., the tensor-product B-spli ...
A family of models is proposed to describe the motion of holes in a fluctuating quantum dimer background on the square lattice. Following Castelnovo et al. [Ann. Phys. (N.Y.) 318, 316 (2005)], a generalized Rokhsar-Kivelson Hamiltonian at finite doping whi ...
Using mean-field theory, exact diagonalizations, and SU(3) flavor theory, we have precisely mapped out the phase diagram of the S=1 bilinear-biquadratic Heisenberg model on the triangular lattice in a magnetic field, with emphasis on the quadrupolar phases ...
This paper proposes a new family of bivariate, non-separable splines, called hex-splines, especially designed for hexagonal lattices. The starting point of the construction is the indicator function of the Voronoi cell, which is used to define in a natural ...
A molecular dynamics simulation of 4, 4'-dichlorobiphenyl sulfone was carried out in order to study the phase transition from a normal to incommensurate modulated phase observed experimentally. Agreements of simulated and experimental diffraction patterns ...
Proton insertion in polycryst. tungsten oxide has been studied with photoelectron spectroscopy and semi-empirical calcns. The W 4f spectra show growth of W5+ and W4+ oxidn. states as a function of inserted proton content in the crystal lattice. A concomita ...
We have compared the In distribution in InGaN quantum wells grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE). The samples were studied by conventional and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The local ...
Cluster synchronization modes of continuous time oscillators that are diffusively coupled in a three-dimensional (3-D) lattice are studied in the paper via the corresponding linear invariant manifolds. Depending in an essential way on the number of oscilla ...
Recently, we have proposed a novel family of bivariate, non-separable splines. These splines, called "hexsplines" have been designed to deal with hexagonally sampled data. Incorporating the shape of the Voronoi cell of a hexagonal lattice, they preserve th ...
The single-crystal investigation of the self-hosting sigma-structure of beta-tantalum (beta-Ta) at 120 K (low-temperature, LT, structure) and at 293 K (RT-I before cooling and RT-II after cooling and rewarming; RT represents room temperature) shows that th ...
