We determined the magnetic symmetry groups (Shubnikov groups) of the wurtzite-type crystals doped with magnetic atoms periodically distributed at cation sites. The magnetic groups of doped crystals with ferro- or antiferromagnetic properties arise from the P63 mc (C 6 4 ), P3m1 (C 3 1 ), C 3 (Cm) or C 1 1 (P1) ordinar…

The conventional mechanisms with stiff joints make the robots more complex, heavy, large and expensive. As walking robots are requested to perform tasks in rough terrain, the development of actuators capable to flexibly adapt to the unstructured environment becomes more and more necessary. Biological mechanisms like l…
