Bubble solutions are of growing interest because of various technological applications in surface cleaning, water treatment, and agriculture. However, their physicochemical properties such as the stability and interfacial charge of bubbles…
It is well known that energy dissipation and finite size can deeply affect the dynamics of granular matter, often making usual hydrodynamic approaches problematic. Here we report on the experi-mental investigation of a small model system,…
It has been experimentally established in numerous cases that precipitation of monodispersed colloids from homogeneous solutions is a complex process. Specifically, it was found that in many systems nuclei, produced rapidly in a…
Changing the microstructure properties of a space-time metamaterial while a wave is propagating through it, in general requires addition or removal of energy, which can be of exponential form depending on the type of modulation. This limits…
The one-dimensional motion of any number $\cN$ of particles in the field of many independent waves (with strong spatial correlation) is formulated as a second-order system of stochastic differential equations, driven by two Wiener…

The dynamics of a coupled two-component nonequilibrium system is examined by means of continuum field theory representing the corresponding master equation. Particles of species A may perform hopping processes only when particles of…
Within a closed system, physical interactions are reciprocal. However, the effective interaction between two entities of an open system may not obey reciprocity. Here, we describe a non-reciprocal interaction between nanoparticles which is…

We consider a single species reaction diffusion system on a two dimensional lattice where the particles $A$ are biased to move towards their nearest neighbours and annihilate as they meet; $A + A \to \emptyset$. Allowing the bias to take…
The structure of polydisperse hard sphere fluids, in the presence of a wall, is studied by the Rosenfeld density functional theory. Within this approach, the local excess free energy depends on only four combinations of the full set of…
Counter-propagating light fields have the ability to create self-organized one-dimensional optically bound arrays of microscopic particles, where the light fields adapt to the particle locations and vice versa. We develop a theoretical…
The basic physics of nucleation in solid \hl{single-crystal} nanoparticles is revealed by a phase-field theory that includes surface energy, chemical reactions and coherency strain. In contrast to binary fluids, which form arbitrary contact…
Partially miscible ganglia trapped in a porous medium evolve through Ostwald ripening, driven by differences in interfacial curvature. In practice, ganglia can span multiple pores and undergo discrete capillary events - invasion, snap-off,…
Ostwald's Rule of Stages, which is one of the most widely observed phenomena associated with crystallization of polymorphs, follows naturally from the thermodynamics of nucleation. However, most observations of its manifestations have been…
In this chapter, the theory of Lifshitz, Slesov and Wagner and the technique of Emulsion Stability Simulations (ESS) are reviewed. Complementary algorithms required to incorporate the phenomenon of Ostwald ripening in ESS are presented. The…
I consider multipartite processes in which there are constraints on each subsystem's rate matrix, restricting which other subsystems can directly affect its dynamics. I derive a strictly nonzero lower bound on the minimal achievable entropy…
We find exact conditions for the enhancement or suppression of internal and/or scattered fields and the determination of their spatial distribution or angular momentum through the combination of simple fields. The incident fields can be…

By numerically solving the equations of motion for atomic spins we show that internal spin-wave processes in large enough magnetic particles, initially in unstable states, lead to complete magnetization reversal and thermalization. The…
