We study the influence of quenched disorder on the two-dimensional melting behavior by using both video-microscopy of superparamagnetic colloidal particles and computer simulations of repulsive parallel dipoles. Quenched disorder is…
We examine a two-dimensional system of sterically repulsive interacting disks where each particle runs in a random direction. This system is equivalent to a run-and-tumble dynamics system in the limit where the run time is infinite. At low…
We study the nonequilibrium dynamics of a binary disordered alloy when it is subjected to an interaction quench. Our study uses a nonequilibrium embedding scheme (DMFT+CPA) that combines the capacity of DMFT (dynamical mean field theory) to…
It is well known that particles can get trapped by randomly placed obstacles when they are pushed too much. We present a model where the current in a disordered medium dies at a large external field, but is reborn when the activity is…
The zero-range process is a stochastic interacting particle system that is known to exhibit a condensation transition. We present a detailed analysis of this transition in the presence of quenched disorder in the particle interactions.…
We determine the asymptotic relaxation rate of a Brownian particle in a harmonic potential perturbed by quenched Gaussian disorder, a simplified model for rugged energy landscapes in complex systems. Depending on the properties of the…
We analyse a one-dimensional model of hard particles, within ensembles of trajectories that are conditioned (or biased) to atypical values of the time-averaged dynamical activity. We analyse two phenomena that are associated with these…
We use numerical simulations to examine two-dimensional particle mixtures that strongly phase separate in equilibrium. When the system is externally driven in the presence of quenched disorder, plastic flow occurs in the form of meandering…
We address the dynamics of interacting particles on a disordered lattice formed by a random comb. The dynamics comprises that of the asymmetric simple exclusion process, whereby motion to nearest-neighour sites that are empty is more likely…
Quantum critical states exhibit strong quantum fluctuations and are therefore highly susceptible to perturbations. In this work we study the dynamical stability against a sudden coupling to these strong fluctuations by quenching the order…
We present a solution for the nonequilibrium dynamics of an interacting disordered system. The approach adapts the combination of the equilibrium dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) and the equilibrium coherent potential approximation (CPA)…
We examine the depinning and driven dynamics of a system in which there is a competition between long range Coulomb repulsive and short range attractive interactions. In the absence of disorder the system forms Wigner crystal, stripe, and…
We have investigated numerically the electron addition spectra in quantum dots containing a small number (N < 11) of interacting electrons, in presence of strong disorder. For a short-range Coulomb repulsion, we find regimes in which two…
We consider the dynamics of the disordered, one-dimensional, symmetric zero range process in which a particle from an occupied site $k$ hops to its nearest neighbour with a quenched rate $w(k)$. These rates are chosen randomly from the…
We study quenching dynamics of a one-dimensional transverse Ising chain with nearest neighbor antiferromagentic interactions in the presence of a longitudinal field which renders the model non-integrable. The dynamics of the spin chain is…
We show how deeply quenching a liquid to temperatures where it is linearly unstable and the crystal is the equilibrium phase often produces crystalline structures with defects and disorder. As the solid phase advances into the liquid phase,…
We study a one-dimensional system of spatially extended particles, which are fixated to regularly spaced locations by means of elastic springs. The particles are assumed to be driven by a Gaussian noise and to have dissipative,…
We consider the facilitated exclusion process, an interacting particle system on the integer line where particles hop to one of their left or right neighbouring site only when the other neighbouring site is occupied by a particle. A…
