Chirality Cannot Be Ferroic in Enantiomorphic Space-Groups
F. Gómez-Ortiz, S. Mamoudou Taganga, E. E. McCabe +2
With growing interest in structural chirality in periodic solids, it has been suggested that chirality might constitute a new ferroic order parameter. In this work, we demonstrate,…
Structural chirality and related properties in the periodic inorganic solids: Review and perspectives
Eric Bousquet, Mauro Fava, Zachary Romestan +3
Chirality refers to the asymmetry of objects that cannot be superimposed on their mirror image. It is a concept that exists in various scientific fields and has profound consequenc…
Structural chirality measurements and computation of handedness in periodic solids
Fernando Gómez-Ortiz, Mauro Fava, Emma E. McCabe +2
We compare the various chirality measures most widely used in the literature to quantify chiral symmetry in extended solids, i.e., the continuous chirality measure, the Hausdorff d…
A phonon-driven mechanism for an emergent and reversible chirality in crystals
Mauro Fava, Emma McCabe, Aldo H. Romero +1
We demonstrate through first-principles calculations applied to the KNiO crystal that a structural phase transition from an achiral to a chiral phase can be mediated by…
Prediction of Room Temperature Electric Field Reversal of Magnetization in the Family of Layered Oxides
Urmimala Dey, Emma E. McCabe, Jorge Íñiguez-González +1
The promise of a strong magnetoelectric coupling in a multiferroic material is not only of fundamental interest, but also forms the basis of next generation memory devices where th…
