Polar flocks in discrete active systems are often assumed to be robust, yet recent studies reveal their fragility under both imposed and spontaneous fluctuations. Here, we revisit the four-state active Potts model (APM) and show that its…

We investigate the long-distance asymptotic behavior of the dimer correlations in the spin-1/2 alternating $XY$chain both at T=0 and at sufficiently low-temperatures. The correlations consist of the dimer long-range order part and the…
We propose and analyze a new way of using $\pi$ stacking to design molecular junctions that either enhance or suppress a phononic heat current, but at the same time remain conductors for an electric current. Such functionality is highly…
From first principles, we calculate the Heisenberg interactions between neighboring dimers in several compounds within the Et$_{n}$Me$_{4-n}X$[Pd(dmit)$_2$]$_2$ (Et = ethyl, Me = methyl, dmit = 2-thioxo-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dithiolate) family…

We present simulations on a binary blend of bead-spring polymer chains. The introduction of monomer size disparity yields very different relaxation times for each component of the blend. Competition between two different arrest mechanisms,…
