This paper reports a theoretical investigation of the structure, stability, and electron charge density of cubic, rhombohedral, hexagonal, and monoclinic Al lattices. The equations of state and the ...

Scientists have discovered a revolutionary new method for creating quantum states by twisting materials at the M-point, revealing exotic phenomena previously out of reach. This new direction ...

A rotating lattice single (RLS) crystal is a unique form of solid, which was fabricated recently as one-dimensional architecture in glass via solid state transformation induced by laser irradiation.

A team of researchers has developed a novel method for using cholesteric liquid crystals in optical microcavities. The ...

Understanding how molecular arrangements within crystals influence their thermal behavior is a fundamental question in ...

Slow light in square-lattice chalcogenide photonic-crystal (PC) holey fibers with uniform longitude geometry are proposed and theoretically investigated. By using the planewave-expansion method, a ...

Lattice structures with different desired physical properties are promising for a broad spectrum of applications. The availability of additive manufacturing (AM) technology has relaxed the fabricating ...

Photos A rare and bewildering intermediate between crystal and glass can be the most stable arrangement for some combinations of atoms, according to a study from the University of Michigan. The ...
