Ground state fractal crystals
arXiv:2206.04343 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.107.184104
Abstract
We propose a generalization of the crystalline order: the ground state fractal crystal. We demonstrate that by deriving a simple continuous-space-discrete-field (CSDF) model whose ground state is a crystal where each unit cell is a fractal.
