Emergent Geometry of Inhomogeneous Planar Crystals
Uniform triangular crystals are the ground state for particles that interact isotropically in two dimensions. However, when immersed in an external potential, for example, one arising from an electric field, a flow field, or gravity, the resulting phases are significantly distorted in a way reminisc...
