Mapping full-field displacement and strain changes on the Earth’s surface following an earthquake is of paramount importance to enhance our understanding of earthquakemechanics. Currently, aerial and satellite images taken preand postearthquake can be processed with sub-pixel correlation algorithms to infer the co-seismic ground deformations (e.g., [1, 2]). However, the interpretation of this d...

The absence of mirror symmetry, or chirality, is behind striking natural phenomena found in systems as diverse DNA and crystalline solids. A remarkable example occurs when chiral semimetals with topologically protected band degeneracies are illuminated circularly polarized light. Under the right conditions, part generated photocurrent that switches sign upon reversal light's polarization, known...

The positron annihilation lifetimes were measured using a 48V source in noncentrosymmetric cubic single crystals of CoSi, FeSi and MnSi. following determined from the time spectra: 168(1) ps for 114(1) 111(1) For single-crystal lifetime was also with 22Na source. obtained different sources are consistent. differences MnSi FeSi, on one hand, Weyl semimetal other possibly caused by formation + el...

We have investigated the relative stability of a number of p(1×1), c(2×2) and p(2×2) surface reconstructions on the (100) 2 surface as deposited on Si(100). The relative stability of these reconstructions as a function of whether the growth conditions are either Si rich or Co rich is also investigated. We show that the most stable surface under all growth conditions is a c(2×2) reconstructed Si...
