Symmetry breaking during seeded growth of nanocrystals.
Currently, most of the reported noble-metal nanocrystals are limited to a high level of symmetry, as constrained by the inherent, face-centered cubic (fcc) lattice of these metals. In this paper, we report, for the first time, a facile and versatile approach (backed up by a clear mechanistic understanding) for breaking the symmetry of an fcc lattice and thus obtaining nanocrystals with highly u...
متن کاملSymmetry, Symmetry Breaking and Topology
The ground state of a system with symmetry can be described by a group G. This symmetry groupG can be discrete or continuous. Thus for a crystalG is a finite group while for the vacuum state of a grand unified theory G is a continuous Lie group. The ground state symmetry described by G can change spontaneously from G to one of its subgroups H as the external parameters of the system are modifie...
متن کاملSymmetry breaking during Drosophila oogenesis.
The orthogonal axes of Drosophila are established during oogenesis through a hierarchical series of symmetry-breaking steps, most of which can be traced back to asymmetries inherent in the architecture of the ovary. Oogenesis begins with the formation of a germline cyst of 16 cells connected by ring canals. Two of these 16 cells have four ring canals, whereas the others have fewer. The first sy...
متن کاملGroups and Constraints: Symmetry Breaking during Search
We present an interface between the ECLPS constraint logic programming system and the GAP computational abstract algebra system. The interface provides a method for efficiently dealing with large numbers of symmetries of constraint satisfaction problems for minimal programming effort. We also report an implementation of SBDS using the GAP-ECLPS interface which is capable of handling many more s...
متن کاملSymmetry and Symmetry Breaking in Electrostatic MEMS
The use of electrostatic forces to provide actuation is a method of central importance in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and is of growing importance in nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS). The study of electrostatic actuation has led to numerous interesting experimental, theoretical, and numerical results. Yet, surprisingly, even simple electrostatically actuated systems have secrets t...
