We consider two semi-infinite magnetoelectric media with constant dielectric permittivity separated by a planar interface, whose electromagnetic response is described by non-dynamical axion electrodynamics and investigate the radiation of a…
The solution to a problem in quantum mechanics is generally a linear superposition of states. The solutions for double well potentials epitomize this property, and go even further than this: they can often be described by an effective model…
Brownian particles in random potentials show an extended regime of subdiffusive dynamics at intermediate times. The asymptotic diffusive behavior is often established at very long times and thus cannot be accessed in experiments or…
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the propagation of topological currents along magnetic interfaces (also known as magnetic walls) of a two-dimensional material. We consider tight-binding magnetic models associated to generic…
We introduce a new sharp interface model for the flow of two immiscible, viscous, incompressible fluids. In contrast to classical models for two-phase flows we prescribe an evolution law for the interfaces that takes diffusional effects…

We describe a general phase-field model for hyperelastic multiphase materials. The model features an elastic energy functional that depends on the phase-field variable and a surface energy term that depends in turn on the elastic…

We consider the local kinematics at fluid interfaces in two-phase flows within the sharp interface framework. In the considered case with phase change and slip at the interface, the governing velocity field is discontinuous at the phase…
The paper concerns the analysis of global minimizers of a Dirichlet-type energy functional in the class of $\mathbb{S}^2$-valued maps defined in cylindrical surfaces. The model naturally arises as a curved thin-film limit in the theories of…
