Consequences of Broken Translational Symmetry in FeSexTe1-x

Marco Grioni, Luca Moreschini, Ping-Hui Lin, Davide Innocenti

We investigate the consequences of broken translational symmetry in the superconductor FeSexTe1-x using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. We find that the intensity does not follow the periodicity dictated by the crystal structure, owing to the fo ...

Icosahedral quasicrystal-enhanced nucleation of the fcc phase in liquid gold alloys

Michel Rappaz, Güven Kurtuldu

Although the grain refinement of yellow gold alloys with Jr has been used in industry and known for nearly half a century, the basic mechanism is still unknown. The present contribution shows that the mechanism is the same as that evidenced recently in Al- ...

Periodicity-Induced Symmetry Breaking in a Fano Lattice: Hybridization and Tight-Binding Regimes

Olivier Martin, Chen Yan

We investigate experimentally and theoretically the role of periodicity on the optical response of dolmen plasmonic arrays that exhibit a Fano line shape. Contrary to previous works on single nanostructures, this study deals with the in-plane near-field co ...

Phonon-limited resistivity of graphene by first-principles calculations: Electron-phonon interactions, strain-induced gauge field, and Boltzmann equation

Nicola Marzari, Thibault Daniel Pierre Sohier

We use first-principles calculations, at the density-functional-theory (DFT) and GW levels, to study both the electron-phonon interaction for acoustic phonons and the "synthetic" vector potential induced by a strain deformation (responsible for an effectiv ...

A Natural Helical Crystal Lattice Model for Carbon Nanotubes

Nicola Marzari

We propose a novel helical crystal lattice model for chiral and achiral carbon nanotubes (CNTs) where the unit cell and the helical crystal vector are defined in a unique and systematic manner for arbitrary CNTs. The small unit cell of this helical crystal ...

Dynamics of charge density wave order in the quasi one dimensional conductor (TaSe4)(2)I probed by femtosecond optical spectroscopy

Helmuth Berger

Carrier and collective mode dynamics in the quasi one-dimensional charge density wave (CDW) system (TaSe4)(2)I have been investigated by means of time-resolved optical pump-probe spectroscopy. In the low excitation, linear, regime we focus on the temperatu ...

Cell shape-dependent early responses of fibroblasts to cyclic strain

Jürgen Brugger, Mattia Marelli

Randomly spread fibroblasts on fibronectin-coated elastomeric membranes respond to cyclic strain by a varying degree of focal adhesion assembly and actin reorganization. We speculated that the individual shape of the cells, which is linked to cytoskeletal ...

Combined ARPES and STM study of Pb/Au(111) Moiré structure: One overlayer, two symmetries

Klaus Kern, Harald Brune, Marco Grioni, Alberto Crepaldi, Emmanouil Frantzeskakis

The structural and electronic properties of a Pb monolayer (ML) grown on Au(111) are investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and angle resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES). We find an incommensurate Moire structure with an approximate (5 ...

Spangolite: an s = 1/2 maple leaf lattice antiferromagnet?

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Julian Piatek

Spangolite, Cu6Al(SO4)(OH)12Cl·3H2O, is a hydrated layered copper sulfate mineral. The Cu2+ ions of each layer form a systematically depleted triangular lattice which approximates a maple leaf lattice. We present details of the crystal structure, which sug ...
