Direct derivation of anisotropic atomic displacement parameters from molecular dynamics simulations in extended solids with substitutional disorder using a neural network potential

Direct derivation of anisotropic atomic displacement parameters is possible using molecular dynamics simulations of supercells at finite temperature.

Temporal ghost imaging for pump–probe X-ray solution scattering

An algorithm is described to recover super-temporal resolution dynamics of X-ray scattering profiles of photo-excited biomolecules in solution from pump–probe X-ray solution scattering data.

Accepted 10 May 2025

Symmetries of all lines in monolayer crystals

Scanning tables for the layer groups are presented, listing the crystal symmetries for all rational lines in all layer groups (describing monolayer crystals). This has applications for linear defects and domain walls in 2D materials.

Accepted 7 May 2025

Crystal tensor properties of magnetic materials with and without spin–orbit coupling. Application of spin point groups as approximate symmetries

We have studied the constraints that the spin group symmetry imposes on the most important crystal tensors, on the basis of a generalization of the Neumann principle to spin point groups. Some examples of real materials are presented, and their tensor forms under the spin and magnetic point groups are compared.

Accepted 14 April 2025

Band and Curie limit symmetry groups

The contradiction between 7 band symmetry groups and 5 uniaxial Curie limit symmetry groups is resolved. There arise 2 more limit symmetry groups with true inversion axes if we change the understanding of the symmetry axis n → ∞.

Accepted 12 March 2025
