The Glass-like Structure of Globular Proteins and the Boson Peak

Stefano Ciliberti 1, Paolo De Los Rios 2, Francesco Piazza 2 Physical Review Letters 96 (2006) 198103 Vibrational spectra of proteins and topologically disordered solids display a common anomaly at low frequencies, known as Boson peak. We show that such feature in globular proteins can be deciphered in terms of an energy landscape picture, as it is for glassy systems. Exploiting

The Boltzmann equation for driven systems of inelastic soft spheres

M. H. Ernst, E. Trizac 1, A. Barrat 2 Journal of Statistical Physics 124 (2006) 549 We study a generic class of inelastic soft sphere models with a binary collision rate $g^\nu$ that depends on the relative velocity $g$. This includes previously studied inelastic hard spheres ($\nu=1$) and inelastic Maxwell molecules ($\nu=0$). We develop a new asymptotic method for analyzing

Testing the relevance of effective interaction potentials between highly charged colloids in suspension

J. Dobnikar 1, 2, R. Castañeda-Priego 3, H. H. von Grünberg 2, E. Trizac 4, 5 New Journal of Physics 8 (2006) 277 Combining cell and Jellium model mean-field approaches, Monte Carlo together with integral equation techniques, and finally more demanding many-colloid mean-field computations, we investigate the thermodynamic behavior, pressure and compressibility of highly charged colloidal dispersions, and at a more microscopic level, the force

Temperature Chaos in Two-Dimensional Ising Spin Glasses with Binary Couplings: a Further Case for Universality

Jovanka Lukic 1, Enzo Marinari 2, Olivier C. Martin 3, Silvia Sabatini 4 Journal of Statistical Mechanics (2006) L10001 We study temperature chaos in a two-dimensional Ising spin glass with random quenched bimodal couplings, by an exact computation of the partition functions on large systems. We study two temperature correlators from the total free energy and from the domain wall free energy: in

Strong universality and algebraic scaling in two-dimensional Ising spin glasses

T. Joerg 1, J. Lukic 1, E. Marinari 2, O. C. Martin 3 Physical Review Letters 96 (2006) 237205 At zero temperature, two-dimensional Ising spin glasses are known to fall into several universality classes. Here we consider the scaling at low but non-zero temperature and provide numerical evidence that $\eta \approx 0$ and $\nu \approx 3.5$ in all cases, suggesting a unique universality
