Christophe Texier 1 Gilles Montambaux 2 Physica E: Low-dimensional Systems and Nanostructures, Elsevier, 2016, 75, pp.33 We consider the electronic transport in multi-terminal mesoscopic networks of weakly disordered metallic wires. After a brief description of the classical transport, we analyze the weak localisation (WL) correction to the four-terminal resistances, which involves an integration of the […]

S. V. Andreev 1, 2, 3, * Physical Review B : Condensed matter and materials physics, American Physical Society, 2016, 94 (16), pp.165308 (1-6). <10.1103/PhysRevB.94.165308> We consider indirect excitons generated at the ring-shaped boundaries between electron-and hole-rich regions in semiconductor quantum wells (QW’s). We show theoretically that the in-plane translational motion of the excitons is

Anthony Perret 1 Gregory Schehr 1 Random Matrices. Theory and Applications, 2016, 5, pp.1650001 We study the probability distribution function (PDF) of the smallest eigenvalue of Laguerre-Wishart matrices $W = X^\dagger X$ where $X$ is a random $M \times N$ ($M \geq N$) matrix, with complex Gaussian independent entries. We compute this PDF in terms

Pierre Ronceray 1 Chase Broedersz 2, 3 Martin Lenz 1 Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America , National Academy of Sciences, 2016, 113, pp.2827 Large-scale force generation is essential for biological functions such as cell motility, embryonic development, and muscle contraction. In these processes, forces generated at the

The experiment is carried out on the cantilever

Xiangyu Cao 1 Alberto Rosso 1 Raoul Santachiara 1 Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, IOP Publishing, 2016, 49, pp.02LT02 We study minima statistics of the 2d Gaussian Free Field on circles in the unit disk with Dirichlet boundary condition. Free energy distributions of the associated Random Energy models are exactly calculated in the

Claude Godreche 1 Satya N. Majumdar 2 Gregory Schehr 2 Physical Review Letters, American Physical Society, 2016, 117, pp.010601 We study the statistics of increments in record values in a time series $\{x_0=0,x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n\}$ generated by the positions of a random walk (discrete time, continuous space) of duration $n$ steps.
