First principles calculations are used to establish that the electronic structure of graphene ribbons with zig-zag edges is unstable with respect to magnetic polarisation of the edge states. The magnetic interaction between edge states is…
Gravitational waves provide a powerful probe of both the astrophysical processes driving black hole mergers and the dynamics of the Universe, but these measurements rely on accurately inferring the unknown underlying population. We perform…

We show that when the standard techniques for calculating fractal dimensions in empirical data (such as the box counting) are applied on uniformly random structures, apparent fractal behavior is observed in a range between physically…
