Example of rotational symmetry of order 6.In this last example above, we rotated a hexagon 60 degrees each time. Each 60 degrees rotation returns the original shape as you can see above. Since we were able to r
The tetratic phase is a type of liquid crystal phase which has fourfold rotational symmetry in molecular orientation. It is different from the biaxial nematic phase observed in a fluid composed of boomerang-shaped molecules15,16. In a tetratic phase, mesogens are orientated along two perpendicular...
it is hard to establish via computer simulations strict hyperuniformity for a given system. The development of a strict statistical test for hyperuniformity in simulated systems is a hard mathematical problem of great importance, and no such test is currently available. In the absence...
There are two types of Sb sites in CsV3Sb5. Sb1 is located in the kagome plane surrounded by the vanadium hexagon, and Sb2 is located between the kagome plane and Cs layer as illustrated in Fig.1a. Sb has two types of isotopes,121Sb (I = 5/2) and123Sb (I = 7/2). ...
