We explore edge currents in heterostructures formed of a high-$T_c$ cuprate and a conventional $s$-wave superconductors. The resulting $d\pm is$ superconductor spontaneously breaks time reversal symmetry and, remarkably, exhibits large edge…
An amplitude equation for an unstable mode in a collisionless plasma is derived from the dynamics on the unstable manifold of the equilibrium $F_0(v)$.\\ The mode eigenvalue arises from a simple zero of the dielectric $\epsilon_{{k}}(z)$;…

Experimental measurements of the onset of granular flow are directly compared to predictions of the "shear transformation zone" (STZ) theory of amorphous plasticity. The STZ equations make it possible, on a coarse grained level, to…
