The interplay between structure and dynamics in non-equilibrium steady-state is far from understood. We address this interplay by tracking Brownian Dynamics trajectories of particles in a binary colloid of opposite charges in an external…

We study, in the framework of the entanglement harvesting protocol, the entanglement harvesting of both a pair of inertial and uniformly accelerated detectors locally interacting with vacuum massless scalar fields subjected to a perfectly…

We address the textbook problem of dynamics of a spin placed in a dc magnetic field and subjected to an ac drive. If the drive is polarized in the plane perpendicular to the dc field, the drive photons are resonantly absorbed when the…

Critical systems are described by conformal field theories, whose dynamics can be exactly solved in two dimensions. In the presence of a boundary, with the so-called method of images it is possible to study the surface critical behaviour of…

Boundary shape, particularly roughness, strongly controls the amount of wall slip in dense granular flows. In this paper, we aim to quantify and understand which aspects of a dense granular flow are controlled by the boundary condition, and…

In harsh environments, organisms may self-organize into spatially patterned systems in various ways. So far, studies of ecosystem spatial self-organization have primarily focused on apparent orders reflected by regular patterns. However,…

When the vacuum state of a scalar or electromagnetic field is modified by the presence of a reflecting boundary, an interacting test particle undergoes velocity fluctuations. Such effect is regarded as a sort of quantum analog of the…

Large-eddy simulations of a flat-plate boundary layer, without a leading edge, subject to multiple levels of incoming free stream turbulence are considered in the present work. Within an input-output model where non-linear terms of the…

Two-dimensional bootstrap percolation is usually characterized by bulk observables, but whether increasing the activation threshold qualitatively reorganizes the geometry of the absorbing state has remained unclear. Here we show that the…

In finite-volume-based flow simulations, absorbing layers are widely used to reduce pressure wave reflections at boundaries of the computational domain. A disadvantage of absorbing layers is that they contain case-dependent parameters; thus…

Aggregation processes with an arbitrary number of conserved quantities are investigated. On the mean-field level, an exact solution for the size distribution is obtained. The asymptotic form of this solution exhibits nontrivial ``double''…

Universal behavior is a typical emergent feature of critical systems. A paramount model of the non-equilibrium critical behavior is the directed bond percolation process that exhibits an active- to-absorbing state phase transition in the…

We study light absorption by a dipolar absorber in a given environment, which can be a nanoantenna or any complex inhomogeneous medium. From first-principle calculations, we derive an upper bound for the absorption, which decouples the…

The stationary problem of light interaction with a dense collection of two-level atoms embedded in a dielectric is treated semiclassically. The effect of dielectric absorption on the phenomenon of intrinsic optical bistability is discussed…

Two dimensional electron systems exhibiting the fractional quantum Hall effects are characterized by a quantized Hall conductance and a dissipationless bulk. The transport in these systems occurs only at the edges where gapless excitations…

Elastic interfaces embedded in (quenched) random media exhibit meta-stability and stick-slip dynamics. These non-trivial dynamical features have been shown to be associated with cusp singularities of the coarse-grained disorder correlator.…

This paper uses linear magnetohydrodynamics to model resonant absorption in coronal plasma with a Cartesian coordinate system. We impose line-tied boundary conditions and tilt the background magnetic field to be oblique to the transition…

We develop a multiple scattering theory for the absorption of waves in disordered media. Based on a general expression of the average absorbed power, we discuss the possibility to maximize absorption by using structural correlations of…

In this paper we study the macroscopic conduction properties of large but finite binary networks with conducting bonds. By taking a combination of a spectral and an averaging based approach we derive asymptotic formulae for the conduction…

Systems with competing attractive and repulsive interactions have a tendency to condense into droplets. This is the case for water in a sink, liquid helium and dipolar atomic gases. Here, we consider a photon fluid which is formed in the…
