That said, the precise relationship between beauty and the desires, which is at the core of aesthetic interest as a concept, remains elusive. READ MORE

  4. 3. Topological properties of flat bands in generalized Kagome lattice materials

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Daniela Pinto Dias; [2021]
    Keywords : tight-binding; topological insulators; flat bands; edge states; honeycomb-Kagome lattice; tätt bindande modell; topologiska isolatorer; platta band; kanttillstånder; bikakan-Kagome gitter;

    Abstract : Topological insulators are electronic materials that behave like an ordinary insulator in their bulk but have robust conducting states on their edge. Besides, in some materials the band structure presents completely flat bands, a special feature leading to strong interactions effects. READ MORE

  5. 4. Limit Shapes for qVolume Tilings of a Large Hexagon

    University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

    Author : Bako Ahmed; [2020]
    Keywords : Combinatorics; graph theory; orthogonal polynomials; Matematik; kombinatorik; grafteori; ortogonala polynom;

    Abstract : Lozenges are polygons constructed by gluing two equilateral triangles along an edge. We can fit lozenge pieces together to form larger polygons and given an appropriate polygon we can tile it with lozenges. Lozenge tilings of the semi-regular hexagon with sides A,B,C can be viewed as the 2D picture of a stack of cubes in a A x B x C box. READ MORE
