Theory predicts when a phase crystal can arise

Researchers at Chalmers University and Montana State University have developed a theory that derives a so-called “phase crystal”, that elicits spontaneous magnetic fields and circulating currents. The theory predicts when a phase crystal can arise, explaining previous numerical results. Quantum mechanical states are described by a complex-valued wave function, which similar to a wave has ...
