The measured high-resolution energy profile of a selective adsorption resonance in the scattering of He atoms from NaCl~001! is found to exhibit a mixed-extrema structure reminiscent of a Fano-type function. An analysis of the topological properties of the resonance line shape as a function of the surface temperature reveals a behavior which is isomorphic to the simplest elementary catastrophe,...

All-solid-state strong light-matter coupling systems with large vacuum Rabi splitting are great important for quantum information application, such as quantum manipulation, quantum information storage and processing. The monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have been explored as excellent candidates for the strong light-matter interaction, due to their extraordinary exciton binding...

It is known that for n ≥ 3 centres and positive energies the ncentre problem of celestial mechanics leads to a flow with a strange repellor and positive topological entropy. Here we consider the energies above some threshold and show: Whereas for arbitrary g > 1 independent integrals of Gevrey class g exist, no real-analytic (that is, Gevrey class 1) independent integral exists.

We study dipolar relaxation of a chromium Bose-Einstein condensate loaded into a three-dimensional (3D) optical lattice. We observe dipolar relaxation resonances when the magnetic energy released during the inelastic collision matches an excitation towards higher-energy bands. Spectroscopy of these resonances for two orientations of the magnetic field provides a 3D band spectroscopy of the latt...

in addition to exploring constructions and properties of limits and colimits in categories of topologicalalgebras, we study special subcategories of topological algebras and their properties. in particular, undercertain conditions, reflective subcategories when paired with topological structures give rise to reflectivesubcategories and epireflective subcategories give rise to epireflective subc...

The folding topology of DNA G-quadruplexes (G4s) depends not only on their nucleotide sequences but also on environmental factors and/or ligand binding. Here, a G4 ligand, 3,6-bis(1-methyl-4-vinylpyridium iodide)-9-(1-(1-methyl-piperidinium iodide)-3,6,9-trioxaundecane) carbazole (BMVC-8C3O), can induce topological conversion of non-parallel to parallel forms in human telomeric DNA G4s. Nuclear...

Three-dimensional topological insulators are bulk insulators with Z2 topological electronic order that gives rise to conducting light-like surface states. These surface electrons are exceptionally resistant to localization by non-magnetic disorder, and have been adopted as the basis for a wide range of proposals to achieve new quasiparticle species and device functionality. Recent studies have ...

Possible ways of identification are discussed of an electronic order of higher multipoles such as octupoles and hexadecapoles. A particularly powerful method is resonant X-ray scattering (RXS) using quadrupolar resonance processes called E2. The characteristic azimuthal angle dependence of Ce0.7La0.3B6 is interpreted as evidence of antiferro-octupole order. For PrRu4P12, eightfold pattern again...

Topological phononic insulators are the counterpart of three-dimensional quantum spin Hall in systems and, as such, their topological surfaces characterized by Dirac cone-shaped gapless edge states arising a consequence bulk-boundary correspondence. We propose theoretical framework for possible superconducting phase these materials, where attractive interaction between electrons is mediated pho...
