“Optimized Large Hyperuniform Binary Colloidal Suspensions in Two Dimensions” is published in Physical Review Letters. Categories News Author ms87 Read the full paper: here Link to the journal: here The creation of disordered hyperuniform materials with extraordinary optical properties (e.g., large complete photonic band gaps) requires a capacity to synthesize large samples that are effectively hyperuniform down to the nanoscale. Motivated by this challenge, we propose a feasible equilibrium fabrication protocol using binary paramagnetic … Continue Reading “Optimized Large Hyperuniform Binary Colloidal Suspensions in Two Dimensions” is published in Physical Review Letters.
“Minimal Statistical-Mechanical Model for Multihyperuniform Patterns in Avian Retina” is published in Physical Review E Categories News Author ms87 Read the full paper: here Link to the journal: here Birds are known for their extremely acute sense of vision. The very peculiar structural distribution of five different types of cones in the retina underlies this exquisite ability to sample light. It was recently found that each cone population as well as their total population … Continue Reading “Minimal Statistical-Mechanical Model for Multihyperuniform Patterns in Avian Retina” is published in Physical Review E
