To break the inversion symmetry, the team placed a vanadium oxide (VO2) wire underneath a sheet of MoS2. Molybdenum disulfide is a flexible material, Shi said, ...

It is commonly believed that solids with spatial inversion symmetry do not display spin–orbit effects. However, first-principles calculations now reveal unexpected spin structure for ...

Although this inversion-symmetry-breaking structure can impact electronic measurements, we show from its insensitivity to temperature, magnetic field and doping, ...

Up until now, research on superconductivity with broken spatial inversion symmetry has mostly focused on compounds that contain a relatively heavy element M, such as rhodium (Rh), iridium (Ir), ...

Microscopic aspects of ferroelectricity are canonically related to polar atomic displacements that break inversion symmetry of the crystal, leading to a non-zero net electric dipole moment.

The researchers demonstrate all-dielectric photonic crystal (PhC) slabs without in-plane inversion symmetry (C2 symmetry) could separate and route valley exciton emission of a WS2 monolayer at ...

Breaking inversion symmetry in materials allows deviations from Ohms law, enabling nonlinear effects that could drive future ...
