The Helfrich theory of membrane bending, supported by molecular dynamics simulations, is a promising approach for evaluating ...

We discuss methods for calculating Chern numbers of two-dimensional lattice systems using spiral boundary conditions which sweep all lattice sites in one-dimensional order. Specifically, we ...

Nagaoka envisioned a square, two-dimensional lattice where every site on the lattice had just one electron. Then he worked out what would happen if you removed one of those electrons under certain ...

Graphene sheets with 5- or 7-membered rings form cone or saddle shapes, affecting curvature and rigidity. A new method helps ...
