In the present study, we performed molecular-dynamics simulations and investigated dynamical heterogeneity in a supercooled liquid under a steady shear flow. Dynamical heterogeneity can be characterized by three quantities: the correlation…
Surface bubbles are present in many industrial processes and in nature, as well as in CO$_2$ beverage. They have motivated many theoretical, numerical and experimental works. This paper presents the current knowledge on the physics of…
By using the point model of reaction kinetics we have studied the stochastic properties of the lifetime of small systems controlled by autocatalytic reaction A+X -> X+X -> A+X, X -> B. Assuming that a system is living only when the number…
We study the dissipative decay of states with a doubly occupied site in a two-electron Hubbard model, known as doublons. For the environment we consider charge and current noise which are modelled as a bosonic heat bath that couples to the…
We study the atomistic-to-continuum limit of a class of energy functionals for crystalline materials via Gamma-convergence. We consider energy densities that may depend on interactions between all points of the lattice and we give…
We study optimally doped Bi-2212 ($T_\textrm{c}=96$~K) using femtosecond time- and angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy. Energy-resolved population lifetimes are extracted and compared with single-particle lifetimes measured by…
We study the decay of a prepared state into non-flat continuum. We find that the survival probability $P(t)$ might exhibit either stretched-exponential or power-law decay, depending on non-universal features of the model. Still there is a…
We study the frog model on $\mathbb{Z}$ with particle wise discrete Weibull lifetimes. Each particle has an i.i.d. survival parameter $\pi\in(0,1)$; conditionally on $\pi=p$, its lifetime $\Xi$ satisfies \[ P(\Xi\ge k\mid…
The primary attribute of interest of surface nanobubbles is their unusual stability and a number of theories trying to explain this have been put forward. Interestingly, the dissolution of nanobubbles is a topic that did not receive a lot…
We consider the two dimensional Schr\"odinger equation with time dependent delta potential, which represents a model for the dynamics of a quantum particle subject to a point interaction whose strength varies in time. First, we prove global…
In a previous report [10] it was shown that emulsion stability simulations are able to reproduce the lifetime of micrometer-size drops of hexadecane pressed by buoyancy against a planar water-hexadecane interface. It was confirmed that…
Heterogeneous nucleation is studied by Monte Carlo simulations and phenomenological theory, using the two-dimensional lattice gas model with suitable boundary fields. A chemical inhomogeneity of length b at one boundary favors the liquid…
The free energy of looping DNA by proteins and protein complexes determines to what extent distal DNA sites can affect each other. We inferred its in vivo value through a combined computational-experimental approach for different lengths of…
We numerically investigate the time evolution of the non-equilibrium entropy during the homogeneous isotropization dynamics of the 2 R-Charge Black Hole (2RCBH) model, corresponding to a top-down holographic fluid defined at finite…
The Big-Bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) initial neutron abundance and the neutron lifetime depend on the magnitude of the Fermi coupling constant $G_F$. When allowing for radiative corrections, $G_F$ depends on the symmetry breaking Weinberg…
Recent studies on supersolidity in a single-component Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) have relied on the Lee-Huang-Yang (LHY) correction for stabilization of self-bound droplets, which however involves a high density inside the droplets,…
We are interested in the behavior of solutions to the damped inhomogeneous nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation $ i\partial_tu+\Delta u+\mu|x|^{-b}|u|^{\alpha}u+iau=0$, $\mu \in\mathbb{C} $, $b>0$, $a \in \mathbb{C}$ such that $\Re…
The homochirality of the molecules of life has been a vexing problem with no generally accepted solution to date. Since a racemic mixture of chiral nucleotides frustrates the extension and replication of RNA and DNA, understanding the…
Cells regulate gene expression in part by forming DNA-protein condensates in the nucleus. While existing theories describe the equilibrium size and stability of such condensates, their dynamics remain less understood. Here, we use…
We have measured the lifetime of the 5s5p ^3P_2 metastable state of strontium atoms by magneto-optically trapping the decayed atoms to the ground state, which allowed sensitive detection of the rare decay events. We found that the blackbody…
