The general methodology of binary switching requires tilting of potential landscape along the desired direction of switching. The tilt generates a torque along the direction of switching and the degree of tilt should be sufficient enough to…
The self-consistent tilted axis cranking relativistic mean-field theory based on a point-coupling interaction has been established and applied to investigate systematically the newly observed shears bands in 60Ni. The tilted angles,…
In view of the fundamental distinction between the force-controlled model and the displacement-controlled model in buckling problems of structures and the complexity of the asymptotic post-buckling analysis traditionally based on the…
Shearing granular materials induces non-affine displacements. Such non-affine displacements have been studied extensively, and are known to correlate with plasticity and other mechanical features of amorphous packings. A well known example…
Recently, Tavarone et al. (J. Chem. Phys. 143, 114505 (2015)) discussed phase behavior of zig-zag and bow-shaped particles composed of three needles. The authors presented very interesting results of extensive Monte Carlo simulations with…
Two-dimensional electron dispersions with peculiar band crossings provide a platform for realizing topological phases of matter. Here we theoretically show that the $e_g$-orbital manifold of honeycomb-layered transition metal compounds…
Non-leptonic $B^0_s \rightarrow D_s^{\pm} K^{\mp}$ transitions are particularly interesting processes to test the Standard Model. As these decays occur via pure tree diagrams, they allow a theoretically clean determination of the angle…
To accurately predict the mechanical response of materials, especially at high strain rates, it is important to account for dislocation velocities in these regimes. Under these extreme conditions, it has been hypothesized that dislocations…
The interaction between carbon and screw dislocations in tungsten is investigated using ab initio calculations. The presence of carbon atoms in the vicinity of the dislocation induces a reconstruction, with the dislocation relaxing to a…
Near the sample edge, or a sharp magnetic field step the drift of two-dimensional electrons in a magnetic field has the form of skipping/snake orbits. We show that families of skipping/snake orbits of electrons injected at one point inside…
Molecular dynamics simulations have been performed to understand the variations in deformation mechanisms of Cu nanowires as a function of orientation and loading mode (tension or compression). Cu nanowires of different crystallographic…
An approximate equation of motion is proposed for screw and edge dislocations, which accounts for retardation and for relativistic effects in the subsonic range. Good quantitative agreement is found, in accelerated or in decelerated…
Turbulence is fundamental to energy transfer across scales in space and astrophysical plasmas. Bow shock interactions have long been hypothesized to significantly modify turbulence in planetary environments, yet the quantification of such…
In this work, we investigate the topological properties of knotted defects in smectic liquid crystals. Our story begins with screw dislocations, whose radial surface structure can be smoothly accommodated on $S^3$ for fibred knots by using…
Layered two-dimensional (2D) materials exhibit unique properties, expanding opportunities in material design. We investigate MX$_2$ transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) (M = Mo, W; X = S, Se, Te) in homo- and heterobilayers with…
Quantum transport and spintronics regimes are studied in p- and n-doped atomic layers of hexagonal transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), subject to the interplay between the valley structure and spin-orbit coupling. We find how spin…
The influence of an external electric field on single-layer transition-metal dichalcogenides TX2 with T = Mo, W and X = S, Se (MoWSeS) have been investigated by means of density-functional theory within two-dimensional periodic boundary…
The energies and $B(E2)$ transitions involving the states of the ground- and $\gamma$-bands in thirty transitional and deformed nuclei are calculated using the triaxial projected shell model (TPSM) approach. Systematic good agreement with…
We study transport across p-n junctions of gapped two-dimensional semi-Dirac materials: nodal semimetals whose energy bands disperse quadratically and linearly along distinct crystal axes. The resulting electronic properties --- relevant to…
Electronic states under pressure exhibit unconventional spin and charge dynamics that provide a powerful route to uncover exotic phases in quantum materials. Here, we present the structural, magnetic, and electronic evolution of…
