Magnetostriction, piezomagnetism and domain nucleation in a kagome antiferromagnet

Kavli Affiliate: Leon Balents | First 5 Authors: Qingkai Meng, Jianting Dong, Pan Nie, Liangcai Xu, Jinhua Wang | Summary: Whenever the elastic energy of a solid depends on magnetic field, there is a magnetostrictive response. Field-linear magnetostriction implies piezomagnetism and vice versa. Here, we show that Mn$_3$Sn, a non-collinear antiferromanget with Weyl nodes, hosts […]

A $j_{rm eff}=1/2$ Kitaev material on the triangular lattice: The case of NaRuO$_2$

Kavli Affiliate: Leon Balents | First 5 Authors: Aleksandar Razpopov, David A. S. Kaib, Steffen Backes, Leon Balents, Stephen D. Wilson | Summary: Motivated by recent reports of a quantum disordered ground state in the triangular lattice compound NaRuO$_2$, we derive a $j_{rm eff}=1/2$ magnetic model for this system by means of first-principles calculations. The […]

The inflation hierarchy and the polarization hierarchy are complete for the quantum bilocal scenario

Kavli Affiliate: David Gross | First 5 Authors: Laurens T. Ligthart, David Gross, , , | Summary: It is a fundamental but difficult problem to characterize the set of correlations that can be obtained by performing measurements on quantum mechanical systems. The problem is particularly challenging when the preparation procedure for the quantum states is […]

Global well-posedness for radial extremal hypersurface equation in $left(1+3 right)$-dimensional Minkowski space-time in critical Sobolev space

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Sheng Wang, Yi Zhou, , , | Summary: In this article, we prove the global well-posedness in the critical Sobolev space $H_{rad}^2left(mathbb{R}^2right) times H_{rad}^1 left(mathbb{R}^2right)$ for the radial time-like extremal hypersurface equation in $left(1+3right)$- dimensional Minkowski space-time. This is achieved by deriving a new div-curl type lemma […]

Spatiotemporal control of active topological defects

Kavli Affiliate: Mark J. Bowick | First 5 Authors: Suraj Shankar, Luca V. D. Scharrer, Mark J. Bowick, M. Cristina Marchetti, | Summary: Topological defects play a central role in the physics of many materials, including magnets, superconductors and liquid crystals. In active fluids, defects become autonomous particles that spontaneously propel from internal active stresses […]

The role of non-affine deformations in the elastic behavior of the cellular vertex model

Kavli Affiliate: Mark J. Bowick | First 5 Authors: Michael F. Staddon, Arthur Hernandez, Mark J. Bowick, Michael Moshe, M. Cristina Marchetti | Summary: The vertex model of epithelia describes the apical surface of a tissue as a tiling of polygonal cells, with a mechanical energy governed by deviations in cell shape from preferred, or […]
