The role of orbital ordering on metal-insulator transition of transition-metal oxides is investigated by the cluster self-consistent field approach in the strong correlation regime. A clear dependence of the insulating gap on the orbital…
Four sets of necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained for the first-order rigidity of a periodic bond-node framework \C in R^d which is of crystallographic type. In particular, an extremal rank characterisation is obtained which…
The growth and microstructural properties of ternary monolayers of two-dimensional hexagonal materials are examined, including both individual two-dimensional crystalline grains and in-plane heterostructures, multijunctions, or…
Ionic liquids form intricate microstructures, both in the bulk and near charged surfaces. In this Letter, we show that, given the ionic positions from molecular simulations, the ionic charges minimize a "spin-glass" Hamiltonian for…
Two-dimensional (2D) particulate aggregates formed due to competing interactions exhibit a range of non-equilibrium steady state morphologies from finite-size compact crystalline structures to non-compact string-like conformations. We…
The electronic structure of materials is fundamentally governed by their crystal symmetry. While most research on two-dimensional materials has focused on hexagonal lattices, such as graphene, hexagonal boron nitride, and transition metal…
A self-organization is an universal phenomenon in nature and, in particular, is highly important in materials systems and biology. We proposed a new theory that allowed us to model the most challenging cases of atomic self-assembling whose…
Vanadium spinels (ZnV_2O_4, MgV_2O_4, and CdV_2O_4) exhibit a sequence of structural and magnetic phase transitions, reflecting the interplay of lattice, orbital, and spin degrees of freedom. We offer a theoretical model taking into account…
Using scaled-particle theory for binary mixtures of two-dimensional hard particles with rotational freedom, we analyse the stability of nematic phases and the demixing phase behaviour of a variety of mixtures, focussing on cases where at…
We report a dynamical phase transition from integrability to non-integrability in a simple oval-like billiard with boundary $R(\theta)=1+\epsilon\cos(p\theta)$. For $\epsilon=0$, the phase space is {\it foliated} by invariant curves…
We analyze the crystal orientation-dependent polarization state of extreme ultraviolet (XUV) high-order harmonics from bulk magnesium oxide crystals subjected to intense linearly polarized laser fields. We find that only along high-symmetry…
Complexity is a measure of information content. Crystalline materials are not complex systems because their structures can be represented tersely using the language of crystallography. Disordered materials are also structurally simple if…
We investigate the frustrated magnetic interactions in cubic transition metal oxides with orbital degeneracy. The $e_g$ orbitals order easier and their ordering explains the $A$-type antiferromagnetic phase in KCuF$_3$ and LaMnO$_3$. In…
Manifestation of dynamical instability and Hamiltonian chaos in the fundamental near-resonant matter-radiation interaction has been found analitically and in a Monte Carlo simulation in the behavior of atoms moving in a rigid optical…
We study the phase ordering dynamics of a two dimensional model colloidal solid using molecular dynamics simulations. The colloid particles interact with each other with a Hamaker potential modified by the presence of equatorial "patches"…
X-ray resonant scattering at the K-edge of transition metal oxides is shown to measure the orbital order parameter, supposed to accompany magnetic ordering in some cases. Virtual transitions to the 3d-orbitals are quadrupolar in general. In…
We present a theory of the metal-insulator transition in a disordered two-dimensional electron gas. A quantum critical point, separating the metallic phase which is stabilized by electronic interactions, from the insulating phase where…
Based on Monte-Carlo simulations, the stable magnetization configurations of an antiferromagnet on a quasiperiodic tiling are derived theoretically. The exchange coupling is assumed to decrease exponentially with the distance between…
High energy x-ray diffraction is used to investigate the bulk oxygen ordering properties of YBa_2Cu_3O_{6+x}. Superstructures of Cu-O chains aligned along the b axis and ordered with periodicity ma, along the a axis have been observed. For…
We use the isoconfigurational (IC) ensemble to show the connection between emerging heterogeneities in the tetrahedral order parameter and the dynamic propensity in a mildly undercooled glass-forming liquid. We observe that spatially…
