Disordered systems like liquids, gels, glasses, or granular materials are not only ubiquitous in daily life and in industrial applications but they are also crucial for the mechanical stability of cells or the transport of chemical and…
We report Monte Carlo results for the fluid structure of a system of dimeric particles interacting via a core-softened potential. More specifically, dimers interact through a repulsive pair potential of inverse-power form, modified in such…
The behavior of a single impurity in a one-dimensional Luttinger liquid is numerically investigated by means of the density matrix renormalization group. By analyzing the finite size scaling behavior of the low energy spectrum, we confirm…
We investigate the behavior of impurity fields immersed in a larger condensate field in 1, 2, and 3 dimensions. We discuss the localization of a single impurity field within a condensate and note the effects of surface energy. We derive the…
Using density functional theory we calculate the density profiles of a binary solvent adsorbed around a pair of big solute particles. All species interact via repulsive Gaussian potentials. The solvent exhibits fluid-fluid phase separation…
Using a generalized T-matrix description which, in principle, exactly includes Coulomb correlations and potential scattering events, resonant and bound impurity states are discussed. Like in the non-interacting case, the effects of the…
Dispersed impurities in diamond present a flourishing platform for research in quantum informatics, spintronics and single phonon emitters. Based on the vast pool of experimental and theoretical work describing impurity atoms in diamond, we…
Recent surface force apparatus (SFA) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) can measure force curves between a probe and a sample surface in solvent. The force curve is thought as the solvation structure in some articles, because its shape is…
The Taylor-Couette flow of a dilute micellar system known to generate shear-induced structures is investigated through simultaneous rheometry and ultrasonic imaging. We show that flow instabilities must be taken into account since both the…
We consider in the article the influence of the irradiation and the internal sinks of the point defects on the rate of the flattening of the surface structure in solids. The irradiation produces only the additional external sources of point…
We consider theoretically the transport in a one-channel spinless Luttinger liquid with two strong impurities in the presence of dissipation. As a difference with respect to the dissipation free case, where the two impurities fully transmit…
We analyse asymptotically and numerically the motion around a single impurity and a network of impurities inserted in a two-dimensional superfluid. The criticality for the break down of superfluidity is shown to occur when it becomes…
The local structure study reveals important aspects of the physical properties, because it is closely related to the electronic structure. Standard crystallographic analysis based on a space group fails to observe disorder in the crystal…
It is shown on the basis of the lowest order perturbation expansion with respect to critical fluctuations that the critical fluctuations give rise to an enhancement of the potential scattering of non-magnetic impurities. This qualitatively…
Solvent-mediated interactions emerge from complex mechanisms that depend on the solute structure, its wetting properties and the nature of the liquid. While numerous studies have focused on the two first influences, here, we compare results…
Inverting scattering experiments to obtain effective interparticle interactions for particles in solution is generally a poorly conditioned problem. More accurate potentials can be obtained through the use of isosbestic points, values of k…
Evaporation from a porous medium partially saturated with saline water, causes the salinity (salt concentration) to increase near the top of the porous medium as water leaves while salt stays behind. As the density of the water increases…
We have performed small-angle light-scattering measurements of the static structure factor of a critical binary mixture undergoing diffusive partial remixing. An uncommon scattering geometry integrates the structure factor over the sample…
Anderson's theorem states that non-magnetic impurities do not change the bulk properties of conventional superconductors. However, as the dimensionality is reduced, the effect of impurities becomes more significant. Here we investigate…
Phase transitions in polar binary mixtures can be drastically altered even by a small amount of salt. This is because the preferential solvation strongly depends on the ambient composition. Together with a summary of our research in this…
