We have studied the relaxation and transport properties of a ferrofluid in an elongational flow. These properties are influenced by the bistable nature of the potential energy. Bistability comes from the irrotational character of the flow…
We show that evolution of magnetic properties in FeS under pressure cannot be explained only in terms of a spin state transition. While uniform compression does show substantial suppression of the local magnetic moment and increase of the…

Stability of thin liquid films on a surface can be controlled using an external stimuli, such as electric field, temperature or light by manipulating the total excess free energy of the system. It has been previously shown that thin…

In periodic wave motion, particles beneath the wave undergo a drift in the direction of wave propagation, a phenomenon known as Stokes drift. While extensive research has been conducted on Stokes drift in water wave flows, its counterpart…
We propose that stress can decrease the internal friction of amorphous solids, either by increasing the potential barriers of defects, thus reducing their tunneling and thermal activation that produce loss, or by decreasing the coupling…
Surface acoustic waves (SAWs), coherent vibrational modes localized at solid surfaces, have been employed to manipulate and detect electronic and magnetic states in condensed-matter systems via strain. SAWs are commonly excited in a…
