Periodically driven closed quantum many-body systems are known to exhibit prethermal or quasi-steady-state dynamics. In this work, we theoretically show that such prethermal phases can appear in the dynamics of a dipolar two-spin-$1/2$…

We explore the classical dynamics of two interacting rotating dipoles that are fixed in the space and exposed to an external homogeneous electric field. Kinetic energy transfer mechanisms between the dipoles are investigated varying both…
In a nanopillar with dipolarly coupled vortices, we present an experimental and simulation study to understand how the interplay between the bias field and spin transfer torque impacts reversal of the vortex cores. We find that, depending…
The existence of unique scaling in a crossover regime between viscous and inertial hydrodynamic regimes is revealed for homogeneous, isotropic, incompressible, spinodal turbulence which is characterized, to begin with, by three different…
A mechanism is advanced suggesting the resolution of the dichotomy of long-lived spin polarization storage versus fast spin reversal at the required time. A system of atoms or molecules is considered interacting through magnetic dipolar…
Earlier, Chicone, Latushkin and Montgomery-Smith [Comm Math Phys (1997)] have proved the existence of a fast dynamo operator, in compact two-dimensional manifold, as long as its Riemannian curvature be constant and negative. More recently…
The strengths and short-comings of the point-dipole model for polar fluids of spherical molecules are illustrated by considering the physically more relevant case of extended dipoles formed by two opposite charges $\pm q$ separated by a…
Unlike a single Carroll particle, a multiparticle Carroll system can move under suitable conditions, as we demonstrate it explicitly for two particles with a momentum-dependent interaction: the center-of-mass remains fixed, however relative…

The transition from hard/soft turbulence to deterministic chaos in freely decaying fluid dynamics (incompressible and compressible) has been studied using the results of laboratory measurements and numerical simulations. The notion of…
We analyze the structure and stability of the transition layer (or front) that connects the cold neutral medium and warm neutral medium in the plane-parallel geometry. Such fronts appear in recent numerical simulations of a thermally…
Rotational scaling relationships are examined for the degree of equipartition between magnetic and kinetic energies in stellar convection zones. These scaling relationships are approached from two paradigms, with first a glance at scaling…
We show, by using direct numerical simulations and theory, how, by increasing the order of dissipativity ($\alpha$) in equations of hydrodynamics, there is a transition from a dissipative to a conservative system. This remarkable result,…
One possible framework to interpret the irreversibility transition observed in periodically driven colloidal suspensions is that of a non-equilibrium phase transition towards an absorbing reversible state at low amplitude of the driving…
The nature of an instability that controls the transition from static to dynamical friction is studied in the the context of an array of frictional disks that are pressed from above on a substrate. In this case the forces are all explicit…
Field reversals are the most spectacular changes in the geomagnetic field but remain little understood. Paleomagnetic data primarily constrain the reversal rate and provide few additional clues. Reversals and excursions are characterized by…
