Vicente Garzó 1 Emmanuel Trizac 2 Physical Review E : Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft Matter Physics, American Physical Society, 2015, 92, pp.052202 The Boltzmann equation framework for inelastic Maxwell models is considered to determine the transport coefficients associated with the mass, momentum and heat fluxes of a granular binary mixture in spatially inhomogeneous states close […]

Sergej Moroz 1 José P. D’Incao 2 Dmitry S. Petrov 3 Physical Review Letters, American Physical Society, 2015, 115, pp.180406 We study a one-dimensional quantum problem of two particles interacting with a third one via a scale-invariant subcritically attractive inverse square potential, which can be realized, for example, in a mixture of dipoles and charges

Alexander Y. Grosberg 1 Sergei K. Nechaev 1, 2 Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, IOP Publishing, 2015, 48, pp.345003 We consider flexible branched polymer, with quenched branch structure, and show that its conformational entropy as a function of its gyration radius $R$, at large $R$, obeys, in the scaling sense, $\Delta S \sim

Francois P. Landes 1, 2 Alberto Rosso 2 E. A. Jagla 3 Physical Review E : Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft Matter Physics, American Physical Society, 2015, 92, pp.012407 We study the effect of viscoelastic dynamics on the frictional properties of a (mean field) spring-block system pulled on a rough surface by an external drive. When

David S. Dean 1 Pierre Le Doussal 2 Satya N. Majumdar 3 Grégory Schehr 3 Physical Review Letters, American Physical Society, 2015, 114 (11), pp.110402 (1-5). <10.1103/PhysRevLett.114.110402> We consider the system of $N$ one-dimensional free fermions confined by a harmonic well $V(x) = m\omega^2 {x^2}/{2}$ at finite inverse temperature $\beta = 1/T$. The average density

Pierre Ronceray 1 Peter Harrowell 2 Soft Matter, Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015, 11, pp.3322 We investigate the connection between the geometry of Favoured Local Structures (FLS) in liquids and the associated liquid and solid properties. We introduce a lattice spin model – the FLS model on a face-centered cubic lattice – where this geometry

Maxim Imakaev 1 Konstantin Tchourine 2, 1 Sergei Nechaev 3, 4 Leonid Mirny 1, 5 Soft Matter, Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015, 11, pp.665 Topological constraints can affect both equilibrium and dynamic properties of polymer systems, and can play a role in the organization of chromosomes. Despite many theoretical studies, the effects of topological constraints

Satya N. Majumdar 1 Henri Orland 2 Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment, IOP Science, 2015, pp.P06039 We propose a novel stochastic method to exactly generate Brownian paths conditioned to start at an initial point and end at a given final point during a fixed time $t_{f}$. These paths are weighted with a probability

L. Samaj 1, 2 E. Trizac 2 Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, IOP Publishing, 2015, 48, pp.265003 We consider the non-linear Poisson-Boltzmann theory for a single cylindrical or spherical macro-ion in symmetric 1:1, together with asymmetric 1:2 and 2:1 electrolytes. We focus on the regime where $\kappa a $, the ratio of the
