Long-range order in quadrupolar systems on spherical surfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many physical systems involve a spherical support, such as droplets, vesicles, fullerenes and protein assemblies. Quadrupoles on different lattices are shown to orient in interesting ways that result various degrees of symmetry breaking.

Long-range electron binding to quadrupolar molecules.
An excess electron can be bound to a molecule in a very diffuse orbital as a result of the long-range contributions of the molecular electrostatic field. Following a systematic search, we report experimental evidence that quadrupole binding occurs for the trans-succinonitrile molecule (EA=20+/-2 meV), while the gauche-succinonitrile conformer supports a dipole-bound anion state (EA=108+/-10 meV...
متن کاملComment on "Nature of Long-Range Order in Stripe-Forming Systems with Long-Range Repulsive Interactions".
We study two dimensional stripe forming systems with competing repulsive interactions decaying as r(-α). We derive an effective Hamiltonian with a short-range part and a generalized dipolar interaction which depends on the exponent α. An approximate map of this model to a known XY model with dipolar interactions allows us to conclude that, for α<2 long-range orientational order of stripes can e...

متن کاملOptimizing long-range order, band gap, and group velocities for graphene on close-packed metal surfaces.
We compare different growth methods with the aim of optimizing the long-range order of a graphene layer grown on Ru(0001). Combining chemical vapor deposition with carbon loading and segregation of the surface layer leads to autocorrelation lengths of 240 Å. We present several routes to band gap and charge carrier mobility engineering for the example of graphene on Ir(111). Ir cluster superlatt...
