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

Pablo Rodriguez-Lopez 1 Thorsten Emig 1 Ehsan Noruzifar 2 Roya Zandi 3 Physical Review A, American Physical Society, 2015, pp.012516 Modifications of Casimir-Polder interactions due to confinement inside a cylindrical cavity and due to curvature in- and outside the cavity are studied. We consider a perfectly conducting cylindrical shell with a single particle (atom or

Angelika Knothe 1, 2 Thierry Jolicoeur 2 Physical Review B : Condensed matter and materials physics, American Physical Society, 2015, 92, pp.165110 Monolayer graphene at neutrality in the quantum Hall regime has many competing ground states with various types of ordering. The outcome of this competition is modified by the presence of the sample boundaries.

Satya N. Majumdar 1 Sanjib Sabhapandit 2 Gregory Schehr 1 Physical Review E : Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft Matter Physics, American Physical Society, 2015, 91, pp.052131 A stochastic process, when subject to resetting to its initial condition at a constant rate, generically reaches a non-equilibrium steady state. We study analytically how the steady state is

Andrea De Luca 1 Alberto Rosso 1 Physical Review Letters, American Physical Society, 2015, 115, pp.080401 Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) is to date the most effective technique to increase the nuclear polarization up to a factor $100,000$ opening disruptive perspectives for medical applications. In DNP, the nuclear spins are driven to an – out of

Andrey Y. Lokhov 1 Marc Mézard 2, 1 Lenka Zdeborová 3 Physical Review E, American Physical Society, 2015, 91, pp.012811 Understanding and quantifying the dynamics of disordered out-of-equilibrium models is an important problem in many branches of science. Using the dynamic cavity method on time trajectories, we construct a general procedure for deriving the dynamic
