Abstract: Abstract It has been revealed that inversion symmetry breaking in graphene could induce non-trivial Berry curvature, which leads to topologically protected valleytronic applications. Here, we propose an active controllable way of realizing the inversion symmetry… read more here.

Abstract: While one might assume that the force to break a chemical bond gives a measure of the bond strength, this intuition is misleading. If the force is loaded slowly, thermal fluctuations may break the bond… read more here.
