Microcanonical Monte Carlo simulations of a polydisperse soft-spheres model for liquids and colloids have been performed for very large polydispersity, in the region where a phase-separation is known to occur when the system (or part of it)…
The effects of ambipolar diffusion on the linear stability of weakly ionised accretion discs are examined. Earlier work on this topic has focused on axial magnetic fields and perturbation wavenumbers. We consider here more general field and…
Using ultrashort laser pulses, it has become possible to probe the dynamics of long-range order in solids on microscopic timescales. In the conventional description of symmetry-broken phases within time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau theory, the…
High energy experimental data can be viewed as a sampling of the relevant phase space. We point out that one can apply Voronoi tessellations in order to understand the underlying probability distributions in this phase space. Interesting…
We review the phenomenology of coupled magnetic and electric order parameters for systems in which ferroelectric and incommensurate magnetic order occur simultaneously. We discuss the role that such materials might play in fabricating novel…
The recent discovery of two-dimensional (2D) magnets offers unique opportunities for the experimental exploration of low-dimensional magnetism4 and the magnetic proximity effects, and for the development of novel magnetoelectric,…
The Voronoi diagram is a geometric object which is widely used in many areas. Recently it has been shown that under mild conditions Voronoi diagrams have a certain continuity property: small perturbations of the sites yield small…
Addition of particles to a viscoelastic suspension dramatically alters the properties of the mixture, particularly when it is sheared or otherwise processed. Shear-induced stretching of the polymers results in elastic stress that causes a…
We discuss the appareance of ordered structures in assemblies of magnetic particles. The phenomenon occurs when dipolar interactions and the thermal motion of the particles compete, and is mediated by screening and excluded volume effects.…
Using analytic and numerical methods, we study a $2d$ Hamiltonian model of interacting particles carrying ferro-magnetically coupled continuous spins which are also locally coupled to their own velocities. This model has been characterised…
Networks generated from Voronoi tessellations of space are prototypes for topologically disordered systems. In order to assess the effects of random coordination on the statistical properties of energy spectra, we analyze tight-binding…

We show that gapless superconductivity of a strongly type-II superconductor in a high magnetic field prevails in the presence of disorder, suggesting a topological nature. We calculate the density of states of the Bogoliubov-de Gennes…
We introduce a model for particles that are extremely polydisperse in size compared to monodisperse and bidisperse systems. In two dimensions (2D), size polydispersity inhibits crystallization and increases packing fraction at jamming…
The dispersion relations for collective magnon modes for square-planar arrays of vortex-state magnetic dots, having closure magnetic flux are calculated. The array dots have no direct contact between each other, and the sole source of their…
The objective of this article is to investigate the profound nonlinear optical response exhibited by inversion symmetric fullerene molecules under the influence of different types of disorders described by the Anderson model. Our aim is to…
The concept of a hyperuniformity disorder length $h$ was recently introduced for analyzing volume fraction fluctuations for a set of measuring windows. This length permits a direct connection to the nature of disorder in the spatial…
In the non-relativistic limit, helimagnetic order is always associated with odd-parity magnetism. That is, for single-particle states the expectation value of the electronic spin is odd in crystal momentum, which implies direct control of…
We perform extensive Monte Carlo simulations to investigate the phase behaviour of colloidal suspensions of hard board-like particles (HBPs). While theories restricting particle orientation or ignoring higher ordered phases suggest the…
Motivated by experiments on sheared suspensions that show a transition between ordered and disordered phases, we here study the long-time behavior of a sheared and overdamped 2-d system of particles interacting by repulsive forces. As a…
