Prestrain-induced bandgap tuning in 3D-printed tensegrity-inspired lattice structures

Kavli Affiliate: Chiara Daraio | First 5 Authors: Kirsti Pajunen, Paolo Celli, Chiara Daraio, , | Summary: In this letter, we provide experimental evidence of bandgap tunability with global prestrain in additively-manufactured tensegrity-inspired lattice structures. These lattices are extremely lightweight and designed to exhibit a nonlinear compressive response that mimics that of a tensegrity structure. […]

P-orbital magnetic topological states on square lattice

Kavli Affiliate: Bo Gu | First 5 Authors: Jing-Yang You, Bo Gu, Gang Su, , | Summary: Honeycomb or triangular lattices were extensively studied and thought to be proper platforms for realizing quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE), where magnetism is usually caused by d orbitals of transition metals. Here we propose that square lattice can […]
