Polar active particles constitute a wide class of synthetic colloids that are able to propel along a preferential direction, given by their polar axis. Here, we demonstrate a generic self-phoretic mechanism that leads to their spontaneous…

The shear viscosity in the dilute regime of a model for confined granular matter is studied by simulations and kinetic theory. The model consists on projecting into two dimensions the motion of vibrofluidized granular matter in shallow…

Drawing inspiration from a remarkable chiral force found in nature, we show that a static electric field combined with an optical lin$\perp$lin polarization standing wave can exert a chiral optical force on a small chiral molecule that is…

Trains of ultrashort laser pulses separated by the time of rotational revival (typically, tens of picoseconds) have been exploited for creating ensembles of aligned molecules. In this work we introduce a chiral pulse train - a sequence of…

Monodisperse suspensions of rodlike chiral $fd$ viruses are condensed into a rod-length thick colloidal monolayers of aligned rods by depletion forces. Twist deformations of the molecules are expelled to the monolayer edge as in a chiral…

The application of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to the interpretation of Raman scattering spectra is hindered by inability of atomistic simulations to account for the dynamic evolution of electronic polarizability, requiring the use…

Twistronics, harnessing interlayer rotation to tailor electronic states in van der Waals materials, has predominantly focused on small-angle regime. Here, we unveil the pivotal role of intervalley Umklapp scattering in large-angle twisted…

We demonstrate that twisting one part of a chiral photonic structure about its helical axis produces a single circularly polarized localized mode that gives rise to an anomalous crossover in propagation. Up to a crossover thickness, this…

Van der Waals heterostructures form a massive interdisciplinary research field, fueled by the rich material science opportunities presented by layer assembly of artificial solids with controlled composition, order and relative rotation of…

We propose a second version of the van der Waals density functional (vdW-DF2) of Dion et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 246401 (2004)], employing a more accurate semilocal exchange functional and the use of a large-N asymptote gradient…

We investigate a simple model for the prediction of the splitting of the $3d$ orbitals of a metal ion in the environment of ligands. The electrons are considered to be independent and their interaction with the ligands is represented by the…

Elastic capsules can exhibit short wavelength wrinkling in external shear flow. We analyse this instability of the capsule shape and use the length scale separation between the capsule radius and the wrinkling wavelength to derive…

We derive an analytical expression for the magnetochiral birefringence of a dilute diamagnetic chiral molecular medium subjet to a constant magnetic field. We use the single-oscillator model of Condon et al. [1, 2] to describe the optical…

Repulsive short-range and attractive long-range van der Waals (vdW) forces have an appreciable role in the behavior of extended molecular systems. When using empirical force fields - the most popular computational methods applied to such…

The generation of a magnetic field in a circular rarefaction wave is examined in form of a 2D particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation. Electrons with a temperature of 32 keV are uniformly distributed within a cloud with a radius of 14.2 electron…

Chiral perturbation theory is the effective field theory of the strong interactions at low energies. We will give a short introduction to chiral perturbation theory for mesons and will discuss, as an example, the electromagnetic…

We derive the scattering amplitude for Goldstone bosons of chiral symmetry off the pseudoscalar charmed mesons up to leading one-loop order in a covariant chiral effective field theory, using the so-called extended-on-mass-shell…

The Thue-Morse system is a paradigm of singular continuous diffraction in one dimension. Here, we consider a planar system, constructed by a bijective block substitution rule, which is locally equivalent to the squiral inflation rule. For…

We calculate the pion-pion elastic scattering phase shifts for pion masses from the chiral limit to values of interest for lattice studies. At low energies, we use the standard Chiral Perturbation Theory expressions to one and two loops. In…

Chirality is a ubiquitous phenomenon in which a symmetry between left- and right-handed objects is broken, examples in nature ranging from subatomic particles and molecules to living organisms. In particle physics, the weak force is…
