When a cluster or nanodroplet bears charge, its structure and thermodynamics are altered and, if the charge exceeds a certain limit, the system becomes unstable with respect to fragmentation. Some of the key results in this area were…

Low-dimensional, complex systems are often characterized by logarithmically slow dynamics. We study the generic motion of a labeled particle in an ensemble of identical diffusing particles with hardcore interactions in a strongly…

We present a formalism for obtaining the statistical properties of functionals and inverse functionals of the paths of a particle diffusing in a one-dimensional quenched random potential. We demonstrate the implementation of the formalism…
