that the crystal has no center of inversion; 2. that it has no plane of symmetry perpendicular to the direction in question; 3. that it has no axis of symmetry of an even order perpendicular to this ...

A research team has discovered that achiral hard banana-shaped particles can spontaneously form exotic structures like ...

The Rashba effect can arise in a crystal lacking inversion symmetry—inversion symmetry is invariance of an object after reflection around a point—as spin up and spin down electrons separate ...

Moreover, at the oxide heterojunction/surface, the breaking of spatial inversion symmetry introduces additional influences, leading to the formation of surface states differ from the bulk electronic ...

Altermagnetism could transform electronics, offering faster, more efficient, and sustainable alternatives to traditional ...
