We describe and demonstrate a method to reconstruct an amplitude equation from the nonlinear relaxation dynamics in the succession of the Rosensweig instability. A flat layer of a ferrofluid is cooled such that the liquid has a relatively…

Faraday waves are gravity-capillary waves that emerge on the surface of a vertically vibrated fluid when the energy injected via vibration exceeds the energy lost due to viscous dissipation. Because this dissipation primarily occurs in the…

We investigate the phase diagram of an anisotropic ferrimagnet spin-(1/2, 1) in the presence of a non-commuting (transverse) magnetic field. We find a magnetization plateau for the isotropic case while there is no plateau for the…

We establish the existence of static doubly periodic patterns (in particular rolls, rectangles and hexagons) on the free surface of a ferrofluid near onset of the Rosensweig instability, assuming a general (nonlinear) magnetisation law. A…
We report novel superlattice wave patterns at the interface of a fluid layer driven vertically. These patterns are described most naturally in terms of two interacting hexagonal sublattices. Two frequency forcing at very large aspect ratio…
A walker is a fluid entity comprising a bouncing droplet coupled to the waves that it generates at the surface of a vibrated bath. Thanks to this coupling, walkers exhibit a series of wave-particle features formerly thought to be exclusive…
Using a highly viscous magnetic fluid, the dynamics in the aftermath of the Rosensweig instability can be slowed down by more than 2000 times. In this way we expand the regime where the growth rate is predicted to scale linearly with the…

We study magnetic field effects on spontaneous Fermi surface symmetry breaking with d-wave symmetry, the so-called d-wave "Pomeranchuk instability''. We use a mean-field model of electrons with a pure forward scattering interaction on a…
This paper investigates the generation of free-surface waves in a liquid layer driven by linear instabilities in Couette-Poiseuille (quadratic) shear flows. The base velocity profiles are characterized by a curvature parameter, and…
General phenomenological theory of magnetic spin waves in ferromagnetic media is originally reformulated and applied to analysis of magnetostatic waves in films and plates with arbitrary nisotropy under arbitrary external field. Exact…
Faraday waves, typically observed in driven fluids, result from the confluence of nonlinearity and parametric amplification. Here we show that optical pulses can generate analogous phenomena that persist much longer than the pump…
We report the low-frequency and tunneling studies of yttrium hexaboride single crystal. Ac susceptibility at frequencies 10 - 1500 Hz has been measured in parallel to the crystal surface DC felds, H0. We found that in the DC feld H0 > Hc2…
Waves patterns in the Faraday instability have been studied for decades. Besides the rich dynamics that can be observed on the waves at the interface, Faraday waves hide beneath them an elusive range of flow patterns --or streaming…
Ab initio electronic structure calculations show that the recently identified quasi-two-dimensional electride Y$_2$C is a weak itinerant ferromagnet or at least close to a ferromagnetic instability. The ferromagnetism is induced by the…
