Colloids that interact via a short-range attraction serve as the primary building blocks for a broad range of self-assembled materials. However, one of the well-known drawbacks to this strategy is that these building blocks rapidly and…
Strong and ultra-strong coupling in "cavity - single atom" system are of great interest for both fundamental and applied physics. It is considered that the increase in the coupling strength between a cavity mode and an atom leads, first, to…
Conformational transitions of flexible molecules, especially those driven by hydrophobic effects, tend to be hindered by desolvation barriers. For such transitions, it is thus important to characterize and understand the interplay between…
