Gauss's Law: Cylindrical Symmetry01:20

Gauss's Law: Cylindrical Symmetry

8.7K
A charge distribution has cylindrical symmetry if the charge density depends only upon the distance from the axis of the cylinder and does not vary along the axis or with the direction about the axis. In other words, if a system varies if it is rotated around the axis or shifted along the axis, it does not have cylindrical symmetry. In real systems, we do not have infinite cylinders; however, if the cylindrical object is considerably longer than the radius from it that we are interested in,...

Parallel-axis Theorem01:06

Parallel-axis Theorem

7.5K
The parallel-axis theorem provides a convenient and quick method of finding the moment of inertia of an object about an axis parallel to the axis passing through its center of mass. Consider a thin rod as an example. There is a striking similarity between the process of finding the moment of inertia of a thin rod about an axis through its middle, where the center of mass lies, and about an axis through its end using the conventional method. In the conventional method, the concept of linear mass...

Toroids01:27

Toroids

3.5K
A toroid is a closely wound donut-shaped coil constructed using a single  conducting wire. In general, it is assumed that a toriod consists of  multiple circular loops perpendicular to its axis.
When connected to a supply, the magnetic field generated in the toroid has field lines circular and concentric to its axis. Conventionally, the direction of this magnetic field is expressed using the right-hand rule. If the fingers of the right hand curl in the current direction, the thumb points in...

Geometry of Hyperbolas01:30

Geometry of Hyperbolas

72
A hyperbola consists of all points where the absolute difference of distances to two fixed points, called foci, remains constant. The standard equation isEach branch extends infinitely and approaches two asymptotes, which guide the curve’s behavior. The parameters a and b define key features: a measures the distance from the center to each vertex along the transverse axis, while b influences the slopes of the asymptotes. The asymptotes have equationsA rectangle centered at the origin with...

Gauss's Law: Planar Symmetry01:27

Gauss's Law: Planar Symmetry

8.9K
A planar symmetry of charge density is obtained when charges are uniformly spread over a large flat surface. In planar symmetry, all points in a plane parallel to the plane of charge are identical with respect to the charges. Suppose the plane of the charge distribution is the xy-plane, and the electric field at a space point P with coordinates (x, y, z) is to be determined. Since the charge density is the same at all (x, y) - coordinates in the z = 0 plane, by symmetry, the electric field at P...

Gauss's Law: Spherical Symmetry01:26

Gauss's Law: Spherical Symmetry

8.6K
A charge distribution has spherical symmetry if the density of charge depends only on the distance from a point in space and not on the direction. In other words, if the system is rotated, it doesn't look different. For instance, if a sphere of radius R is uniformly charged with charge density ρ0, then the distribution has spherical symmetry. On the other hand, if a sphere of radius R is charged so that the top half of the sphere has a uniform charge density ρ1 and the bottom half has a...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Polymer Science
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Periodic gyroid network materials exhibit unique properties like band gaps and superior transport due to their symmetries and morphology.
  • Self-assembled diblock copolymers, such as polystyrene-block-polydimethylsiloxane (PS-PDMS), can form complex nanostructures like the double-gyroid (DG).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To visualize and characterize the three-dimensional structure of a twin boundary in a self-assembled PS-PDMS DG diblock copolymer.
  • To understand how the network morphology changes at the twin boundary and its implications for material properties.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized dual-beam scanning microscopy for direct three-dimensional visualization of the PS-PDMS DG structure.
  • Reconstructed the visualized data to analyze the intermaterial dividing surface (IMDS) and network morphology at the twin boundary.

Main Results:

  • The intermaterial dividing surface (IMDS) was observed to be smooth and continuous across the twin boundary.
  • Chiral networks in the PS-PDMS DG suddenly changed handedness at the boundary, acting as a topological mirror.
  • New achiral nodes and loops formed at the boundary, while the boundary region exhibited similar surface/volume ratios and curvature distributions as adjacent regions, suggesting low energy.

Conclusions:

  • The twin boundary in PS-PDMS DG materials functions as a topological mirror due to the abrupt change in network handedness.
  • The observed morphological alterations at the boundary do not significantly increase energy, indicating it is a low-energy interface.
  • Understanding these twin boundaries is crucial for designing advanced materials with tailored properties.
