Antisymmetric breathing in altermagnetic skyrmions

Yunxi Jiang, Chen Xuan, Xi Chen +3

A skyrmion in an altermagnet with \(d\) wave symmetry consists of two elliptical sublattice textures with perpendicular long axes. For each sublattice component , we define…

The Plateau-Rayleigh instability in solids is a simple phase separation

Chen Xuan, John S. Biggins

A long elastic cylinder, radius and shear-modulus , becomes unstable given sufficient surface tension . We show this instability can be simply understood by considering t…

Exploring the cylindrical photo-bending shape in polydomain nematic glass

Chen Xuan, Changwei Xu, Yongzhong Huo

This paper explores different photo-bending shapes in polydomain nematic glass. The motivation is to explain the phenomenon in experiment [1] under polarized light in which a nemat…

Polarization dependence of photo-mechanical behavior of monodomain liquid crystal polymeric materials

Chen Xuan, Changwei Xu, Yongzhong Huo

Polarization dependence of opto-mechanical behavior of monodomain photochromic glassy liquid crystal (LC) polymers under polarized ultraviolet light (PUV) is studied. Trans-cis pho…

Finite wavelength surface-tension driven instabilities in soft solids, including instability in a cylindrical channel through an elastic solid

Chen Xuan, John Biggins

We deploy linear stability analysis to find the threshold wavelength () and surface tension () of Rayleigh-Plateau type "peristaltic" instabilities in incompressible neo-Hook…
