Anomalous high-magnetic field electronic state of the nematic superconductors FeSe 1 − x S x by Bristow, M, Reiss, P, Haghighirad, A, Zajicek, Z, Singh, S, Wolf, T, Graf, D, Knafo, W, McCollam, A, Coldea, A

“…We find that the nematic state is dominated by a linear resistivity at low temperatures that evolves towards Fermi-liquid behavior, depending on the composition x and the impurity level. Near the nematic end point, we find an extended temperature regime with ∼ T 1.5 resistivity, different from the behavior found near an antiferromagnetic critical point. …”

Mechanics of fracture and flexure in Antarctic ice sheets and ice shelves by Zhang, H

“…</p> <br> <p>In Chapter 5, I focus on calving and flexure near the shelf edge. By using a viscoelastic flexure model, I investigate different mechanisms that cause flexure near the calving front, and how the flexure evolves due to viscous creep and leads to calving events.…”

First-principles study of the lattice dynamics of Sb2S3 by Liu, Yun, Eddie Chua, Kun Ting, Sum, Tze Chien, Gan, Chee Kwan

“…The effect of Born effective charges is taken into account using a mixed-space approach, resulting in the splitting of longitudinal and transverse optical (LO-TO) phonon branches near the zone center. Zone-center frequencies agree well with Raman scattering experiments. …”
