Crystallographic texture dependent bulk anisotropic elastic response of additively manufactured Ti6Al4V (open access)

Crystallographic texture dependent bulk anisotropic elastic response of additively manufactured Ti6Al4V

This article identifies a bulk texture effect on elastic anisotropy in laser powder bed fused Ti6Al4V by employing an effective bulk modulus elastography technique coupled with ultrasound shear wave velocity measurement at a frequency of 20 MHz inside the material.

Discovery of higher-order topological insulators using the spin Hall conductivity as a topology signature (open access)

Discovery of higher-order topological insulators using the spin Hall conductivity as a topology signature

This article shows a connection between spin Hall effect and HOTIs using a combination of ab initio calculations and tight-binding modeling. The model demonstrates how a non-zero bulk midgap spin Hall conductivity (SHC) emerges within the HOTI phase. This work guides novel experimental and theoretical advances towards higher-order topological insulator realization and applications.
