Optical response of crystalline solids is to a large extent driven by excitations that promote electrons among individual bands. This allows one to apply optical and magneto-optical methods to determine experimentally the ...
The concept of Berry phase and Berry curvature has become ubiquitous in solid state physics as it relates to variety of phenomena, such as topological insulators, polarization, and various Hall effects. It is well known ...
Magneto-optical (MO) effects, viz. magnetically induced changes in light intensity or polarization upon reflection from or transmission through a magnetic sample, were discovered over a century and a half ago. Initially ...
Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) emitted from the terrestrial vegetation into the Earth's atmosphere play an important role in atmospheric chemical processes. Gridded information of their temporal and spatial ...
Transient fault slip spans time scales from tens of seconds of earthquake rupture to years of aseismic afterslip. So far, seismic and geodetic recordings of these two phenomena have primarily been studied separately and ...
Applicability of the approximate expression for the P-wave reflection coefficient at a weak-contrast reflector separating two weakly anisotropic half-spaces of arbitrary symmetry is extended to media of arbitrary symmetry ...
We present calculations based on density-functional theory with improved exchange-correlation approaches to investigate the electronic structure of Ni(2)MnGa magnetic shape memory alloy prototype. We study the effects of ...
Comparative studies on science curricula provide insights into educational standards worldwide. Accordingly, in this study, we analysed the intended curricula of mathematics and science subjects of the Czech Republic, ...
In response to ESA's "Voyage 2050" announcement of opportunity, we propose an ambitious L-class mission to explore one of the most exciting bodies in the Solar System, Saturn's largest moon Titan. Titan, a "world with two ...
Moderate-to-large earthquakes in rifts may occur on leading boundary faults or inner antithetic faults. Here we show a rare case of the 2020-2021 seismic sequence in the Corinth rift, that culminated in the shallow rupture ...
