A new symmetry-based framework for discovering minimum energy pathways
Jason M. Munro, Hirofumi Akamatsu, Haricharan Padmanabhan +6
Physical systems evolve from one state to another along paths of least energy barrier. Without a priori knowledge of the energy landscape, multidimensional search methods aim to fi…
The Antisymmetry of Distortions
Brian K. VanLeeuwen, Venkatraman Gopalan
Distortions are ubiquitous in nature. Under perturbations such as stresses, fields, or other changes, a physical system reconfigures by following a path from one state to another;…
A Topological Approach to Creating any Pulli Kolam, an Artform from Southern India
Venkatraman Gopalan, Brian Kevin VanLeeuwen
Pulli kolam is a ubiquitous art form in south India. It involves drawing a line looped around a collection of dots (pullis) place on a plane such that three mandatory rules are fol…
The affine and Euclidean normalizers of the subperiodic groups
Brian Kevin VanLeeuwen, Pedro Valentín De Jesús, Daniel B. Litvin +1
The affine and Euclidean normalizers of the subperiodic groups, the Frieze groups, the rod groups, and the layer groups, are derived and listed. For the layer groups, the special m…
Tables of crystallographic properties of double antisymmetry space groups
Mantao Huang, Brian K. VanLeeuwen, Daniel B. Litvin +1
Tables of crystallographic properties of double antisymmetry space groups, including symmetry element diagrams, general position diagrams, and positions, with multiplicities, site…
Topological non-symmorphic crystalline insulators
Chao-Xing Liu, Rui-Xing Zhang
In this work, we identify a new class of Z2 topological insulator protected by non-symmorphic crystalline symmetry, dubbed a "topological non-symmorphic crystalline insulator". We…
Double Antisymmetry and the Rotation-Reversal Space Groups
Brian K. VanLeeuwen, Venkatraman Gopalan, Daniel B. Litvin
Rotation-reversal symmetry was recently introduced to generalize the symmetry classification of rigid static rotations in crystals such as tilted octahedra in perovskite structures…
