Suspensions are of wide interest and form the basis for many smart fluids. For most suspensions, the viscosity decreases with increasing shear rate, i.e. they shear thin. Few are reported to do the opposite, i.e. shear thicken, despite the…
It is shown that for thin metal films, thickness of which does not exceed a thickness of a skin-layer, the problem allows analytical solution for any boundary conditions. The analysis of transmission, reflection and absorption of an…

Liquid wetting of a surface is omnipresent in nature and the advance of micro-fabrication and assembly techniques in recent years offers increasing ability to control this phenomenon. Here, we identify how surface roughness influences the…
The characterization of the wetting on superhydrophobic surfaces is rather complex. Usual contact angle experiments are difficult to perform and the lateral movement of droplets as well as the pinning at point defects on the surface can…
The mass-loss rates from single massive stars are high enough to form radio photospheres at large distances from the stellar surface where the wind is optically thick to (thermal) free-free opacity. Here we calculate the far-infrared,…
