Investigation of symmetry breaking in periodic gravity-capillary waves [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In this paper, fully nonlinear non-symmetric periodic gravity capillary waves propagating at the surface of an inviscid and incompressible fluid are investigated. This problem was pioneered analytically by 7ufiria (J. Fluid Mech., vol.

Halogen bond-modulated solid-state reordering and symmetry breaking of azahelicenes

open access: yesNature Communications
Spontaneous symmetry breaking predominately occurs during the aggregation of discrete molecules in solution. Herein, we report a unique solid-state symmetry breaking process of dynamically chiral aza[4]helicenes that emerged in vacuum-driven ...

On the Effectiveness of Symmetry Breaking [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Symmetry breaking involves coloring the elements of a structure so that the only automorphism which respects the coloring is the identity. We investigate how much information we would need to be able to compute a 2-coloring of a computable finite-branching tree under the predecessor function which eliminates all automorphisms except the trivial one; we

A Non‐Reciprocal Architected Porous Medium

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In several fluid flow, energy‐dumping, and energy‐harvesting applications, a dominant flow direction or dominant resistance direction is desirable. In this study, we propose a simple modular geometry that doubles flow resistance in one direction relative to the opposite direction, while maintaining laminar viscous flow.

Degrees of Metastability in Gauge Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
This thesis consists of an investigation into supersymmetry and its breaking. Emphasis is placed on the question of metastability and the role of non-topological solitons in the hidden sector.

Symmetry-Breaking Dendrimer Synthons in Colloidal Crystal Engineering with DNA

open access: yes, 2023
Breaking symmetry in colloidal crystals is challenging due to the inherent chemical and structural isotropy of many nanoscale building blocks. If a non-particle component could be used to anisotropically encode such building blocks with orthogonal ...

Lorentz symmetry is relevant

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2019
We set up a covariant renormalisation group equation on a foliated spacetime which preserves background diffeomorphism symmetry. As a first application of the new formalism, we study the effect of quantum fluctuations in Lorentz symmetry breaking ...

Chirality and Organization of Adsorbates Modify Surface Phonon Dynamics

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Chirality and molecular organization are shown to influence surface phonon dynamics in gold films. Time‐resolved Joule heating measurements reveal that ordered homochiral monolayers increase the Debye temperature and disordered layers reduce it, while ordered racemic controls have no effect.

Symmetry-breaking transitions in quiescent and moving solitons in fractional couplers

open access: yes, 2023
We consider phase transitions, in the form of spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) bifurcations of solitons, in dual-core couplers with fractional diffraction and cubic self-focusing acting in each core, characterized by Lévy index α.

Cyclic Olefin Copolymers as Versatile Materials for Advanced Engineering Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Cyclic olefin copolymers (COCs) are presented as highly versatile materials combining tunable synthesis, excellent optical properties, and mechanical robustness. Their potential spans microfluidics, bioengineering, and advanced electronics, while emerging self‐healing and sustainable solutions highlight future opportunities.
