'Fraternal-twin' ferroelectricity: competing polar states in hydrogen-doped samarium nickelate from first principles

In ferroelectric switching, an applied electric field switches the system between two polar symmetry-equivalent states. In this work, we use first-principles calculations to explore the polar states of hydrogen-doped samarium nickelate (SNO) at a concentra ...

Band Gap Renormalization at Different Symmetry Points in Perovskites

Majed Chergui, Lijie Wang

Using ultrafast broad-band transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy of photoexcited MAPbBr3 thin films with probe continua in the visible and the mid- to deep-ultraviolet (UV) ranges, we capture the ultrafast renormalization at the fundamental gap at the R s ...

Non-Gaussian superradiant transition via three-body ultrastrong coupling

Fabrizio Minganti

We introduce a class of quantum optical Hamiltonians characterized by three-body couplings and propose a circuit-QED scheme based on state-of-the-art technology that implements the considered model. Unlike two-body light-matter interactions, this three-bod ...

Critical line of the triangular Ising antiferromagnet in a field from a C3-symmetric corner transfer matrix algorithm

Frédéric Mila, Samuel Louis Nyckees, Afonso Dos Santos Rufino, Jeanne Colbois

The corner transfer matrix renormalization group (CTMRG) algorithm has been extensively used to investigate both classical and quantum two-dimensional (2D) lattice models. The convergence of the algorithm can strongly vary from model to model depending on ...

Berry curvature dipole generation and helicity-to-spin conversion at symmetry-mismatched heterointerfaces

Peng Chen, Xupeng Yang

The Berry curvature dipole (BCD) is a key parameter that describes the geometric nature of energy bands in solids. It defines the dipole-like distribution of Berry curvature in the band structure and plays a key role in emergent nonlinear phenomena. The th ...

Polarization-Controlled Chromo-Encryption

Olivier Martin, Hsiang-Chu Wang

The response of simple plasmonic nanorods to polarized illumination is studied in detail. Depending on the orientation of that polarization with respect to the symmetry axes of the nanostructure, a chiral response can occur, which can be analyzed through a ...

Dynamic nuclear polarisation of 1H in Gd-doped In(OH)3

David Lyndon Emsley, Michael Allan Hope, Amrit Venkatesh, Yuxuan Zhang

Dynamic nuclear polarisation (DNP) of solids doped with high-spin metal ions, such as Gd3+, is a useful strategy to enhance the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) sensitivity for these samples. Spin diffusion can relay polarisation throughout a sample, which ...

On A Special Symmetry In The Dynamics Of Complex Systems In A Holographic-Type Perspective

Maria-Alexandra Paun

By operating with the Scale Relativity Theory in the dynamics of complex systems, we can achieve a description of these complex systems through a holographic-type perspective. Then, gauge invariances of a Riccati-type become functional in complex system dy ...

Symmetry-Induced Singlet-Triplet Inversions in Non-Alternant Hydrocarbons

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Jacob Terence Blaskovits, Marc Hamilton Folkmann Garner

Molecules with inversion of the singlet and triplet excited-state energies are highly promising for the development of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). To date, azaphenalenes are the only class of molecules where these inversions have been identified ...

FIB-Fabrication of Resonating Cantilevers to Explore Symmetry-Breaking in Quantum Materials

Amelia Emily-Kay Estry

Scientific progress and technological advancements on novel materials are often deterred by limitations on size and quality of samples. Materials with electronic phenomena attractive for applications, and presenting many open scientific questions, are ofte ...

Exact quantum conformal symmetry, its spontaneous breakdown, and gravitational Weyl anomaly

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Anna Tokareva

The classical Lagrangian of the Standard Model enjoys the symmetry of the full conformal group if the mass of the Higgs boson is put to zero. This is a hint that conformal symmetry may play a fundamental role in the ultimate theory describing nature. The o ...

Quasi-symmetry-protected topology in a semi-metal

Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Matthias Carsten Putzke, Chunyu Guo, Yi-Chiang Sun, Xiangwei Huang, Jonas De Jesus Diaz Gomez

The concept of quasi-symmetry-a perturbatively small deviation from exact symmetry-is introduced and leads to topological materials with strong resilience to perturbations. ...

Outer automorphism anomalies

Brian Quinn Henning

We discuss anomalies associated with outer automorphisms in gauge theories based on classical groups, namely charge conjugations for SU(N) and parities for SO(2r). We emphasize the inequivalence (yet related by a flavor transformation) between two versions ...

Geometrical Treatise on the Modelling of 3D Particulate Inclusion-Matrix Microstructures with an Application to Historical Stone Masonry Walls

Mahmoud S. M. Shaqfa

As historical stone masonry structures are vulnerable and prone to damage in earthquakes, investigating their structural integrity is important to reduce injuries and casualties while preserving their historical value. Stone masonry is a composite material ...

Semiclassical methods in conformal field theories scrutinized by the epsilon-expansion

Gil Badel

Conformal Field Theories (CFTs) are crucial for our understanding of Quantum Field Theory (QFT). Because of their powerful symmetry properties, they play the role of signposts in the space of QFTs. Any method that gives us information about their structure ...

Superconducting quantum interference at the atomic scale

Klaus Kern, Haonan Huang

A single spin in a Josephson junction can reverse the flow of the supercurrent by changing the sign of the superconducting phase difference across it. At mesoscopic length scales, these pi-junctions are employed in various applications, such as finding the ...
