Routing electromagnetic energy at a scale smaller than the wavelength is a highly sought functionality in a variety of applications, including compact lightweight satellite communications, slow-waves sensors, all-optical information processing, and energy ...
We investigate the spin-stripe mechanism responsible for the peculiar nanometer modulation of the incommensurate magnetic order that emerges between the vector-chiral and the spin-density-wave phase in the frustrated zigzag spin-1/2 chain compound beta-TeV ...
Two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) forming at the interfaces of transition metal oxides(1-3) exhibit a range of properties, including tunable insulator-superconductor-metal transitions(4-6), large magnetoresistance(7), coexisting ferromagnetism and sup ...
We readdress the question of whether any universal upper bound exists on the square mass m(2) of the lightest scalar around a supersymmetry breaking vacuum in generic N=2 gauged supergravity theories for a given gravitino mass m(3/2) and cosmological const ...
We investigate the ground-state properties of the highly degenerate noncoplanar phase of the classical bilinear-biquadratic Heisenberg model on the triangular lattice with Monte Carlo simulations. For that purpose, we introduce an Ising pseudospin represen ...
The stability of Ising 180-degree domain walls with respect to appearance of chirality is analytically studied in tetragonal perovskite-type ferroelectrics taking into account electro-mechanical coupling. It is shown that the widely used approximation negl ...
Enantioselective synthesis of a 3-D inorganic net has been achieved leading to metal–organic frameworks built from cobalt-oxide helices in which handedness is controlled by the chirality of the linked ligand. ...
