Read the full paper: here We employ classical molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the molecular-level structure of water during the isothermal compression of hexagonal ice (Ih) and low-density amorphous (LDA) ice at low temperatures. In both cases, the system transforms to high-density amorphous ice (HDA) via a first-order-like phase transition. We employ a sensitive local … Continue Reading “Searching for Crystal-ice Domains in Amorphous Ices” is published in Physical Review Materials

Read the full paper: here We study a continuum of photonic quasicrystal heterostructures derived from local isomorphism (LI) classes of pentagonal quasicrystal tilings. These tilings are obtained by direct projection from a five-dimensional hypercubic lattice. We demonstrate that, with the sole exception of the Penrose LI class, all other LI classes result in degenerate, effectively … Continue Reading “Light Localization in Local Isomorphism Classes of Quasicrystals” is published in Physical Review Letters
