Detecting the QCD axion via the ferroaxionic force with piezoelectric materials
Asimina Arvanitaki, Jonathan Engel, Andrew A. Geraci +3
We show that piezoelectric materials can be used to source virtual QCD axions, generating a new axion-mediated force. Spontaneous parity violation within the piezoelectric crystal…
The Piezoaxionic Effect
Asimina Arvanitaki, Amalia Madden, Ken Van Tilburg
Axion dark matter (DM) constitutes an oscillating background that violates parity and time-reversal symmtries. Inside piezoelectric crystals, where parity is broken spontaneously,…
Maximal axion misalignment from a minimal model
Junwu Huang, Amalia Madden, Davide Racco +1
The QCD axion is one of the best motivated dark matter candidates. The misalignment mechanism is well known to produce an abundance of the QCD axion consistent with dark matter for…
