We study a system composed of a quantum dot in contact with ferromagnetic leads, held at different temperatures. Spin analogues to the thermopower and thermoelectric figures of merit are defined and studied as a function of junction…
The coupled dynamics of entangled polymers which span a broad time and length scales govern the unique viscoelastic properties of polymers. To follow chain mobility by numerical simulations from the intermediate Rouse and reptation regimes…
Search engines have become key media for our scientific, economic, and social activities by enabling people to access information on the Web in spite of its size and complexity. On the down side, search engines bias the traffic of users…
We study the elasto-plastic behavior of dense attractive emulsions under mechanical perturbation. The attraction is introduced through non-specific depletion interactions between the droplets and is controlled by changing the concentration…
This survey is dedicated to the 100th anniversary of Mark Iosifovich Vishik and is based on a number of mini-courses taught by the author at University of Surrey (UK) and Lanzhou University (China). It discusses the classical and modern…
Human mobility is becoming an accessible field of study thanks to the progress and availability of tracking technologies as a common feature of smart phones. We describe an example of a scalable experiment exploiting these circumstances at…
Bubbly drinks are surprisingly attractive. There is something about the nature of the these beverages that make them preferable among other choices. In this article we explore the physics involved in this particular kind of two-phase,…
A study of rational maps of the real or complex projective plane of degree two or more, concentrating on those which map an elliptic curve onto itself, necessarily by an expanding map. We describe relatively simple examples with a rich…
Millimeter-sized particles trapped at the surface of a liquid bath attract each other through the deformation of the liquid-air interface, a phenomenon known as "the Cheerios effect". We consider here a situation similar at first sight: the…
Employing the experimental electro-weak interactions between quarks and leptons, the spin of the proton may easily be understood in terms of the spins of the constituent quarks.
Long-ranged attractions across water between two surfaces that are randomly covered with (mobile) positive and negative charge domains have been attributed to induced correlation of the charges (positive lining up with negative) as the…
We take a new approach to construct Quintessential models. With this approach, we first easily obtain a tracker solution that is different from those discovered before and straightforwardly find a solution of multiple attractors, i.e., a…
Humor is a magnetic component in everyday human interactions and communications. Computationally modeling humor enables NLP systems to entertain and engage with users. We investigate the effectiveness of prompting, a new transfer learning…
Context. Tangential YORP is a thermophysical effect that can alter the rotation rate of asteroids and is distinct from the "normal" YORP effect, but to date has only been studied for asteroids with zero obliquity. Aims. The tangential YORP…
This letter is a comment on an article by T.C. Halsey and M.H. Jensen in Nature about using recurrence times as a reliable tool to estimate multifractal dimensions of strange attractors. Our aim is to emphasize that in the recent…
Molecular Dynamics simulations of crystallization in a supercooled liquid of Lennard-Jones particles with different range of attractions shows that the inclusion of the attractive forces from the first, second and third coordination shell…
Recent numerical results on advection dynamics have shown that particles denser than the fluid can remain trapped indefinitely in a bounded region of an open fluid flow. Here, we investigate this counterintuitive phenomenon both numerically…
We present here two examples of stochastic modelings of social phenomena. The first topic is pedestrian counter flow. Two groups of model pedestrians move in opposite directions and create congestions. It will be shown that this congestion…
We study the heat and spin transport properties in a ring of interacting spins coupled to heat baths at different temperatures. We show that interactions, by inducing avoided crossings, can be a mean to tune both the total heat current…
When a soft elastic cylinder is bent beyond a critical radius of curvature, a sharp fold in the form of a kink appears at its inner side while the outer side remains smooth. The critical radius increases linearly with the diameter of the…
