Ice formation on a smooth or rough cold surface due to the impact of a supercooled water droplet [PDF]
, 2015 Ice accretion is considered in the impact of a supercooled water droplet on a smooth or rough solid surface, the roughness accounting for earlier icing. In this theoretical investigation the emphasis and novelty lie in the full nonlinear interplay of the

Pr$_2$Ir$_2$O$_7$: when Luttinger semimetal meets Melko-Hertog-Gingras spin ice state
, 2017 We study the band structure topology and engineering from the interplay between local moments and itinerant electrons in the context of pyrochlore iridates. For the metallic iridate Pr$_2$Ir$_2$O$_7$, the Ir $5d$ conduction electrons interact with the Pr
