We calculate the junction resistance for a metal-barrier-metal device with the barrier tuned to lie just on the insulating side of the metal-insulator transition. We find that the crossover from tunneling behavior in thin barriers at low…

In many biological and small scale technological applications particles may transiently bind to a cylindrical surface. In between two binding events the particles diffuse in the bulk, thus producing an effective translation on the cylinder…

Multivalent particles competing for binding on the same surface can exhibit switch-like behaviour, depending on the concentration of receptors on the surface. When the receptor concentration is low, energy dominates the free energy of…

In a recent experiment by Krimmel et al. [PRL 78, 3880 (1997)], the critical behavior of FeCo near a (001) surface was studied by x-ray scattering. Here the experimental data are reanalyzed, taking into account recent theoretical results on…

We determine obstructedness or unobstructedness of (holomorphic) Poisson deformations of ruled surfaces over an elliptic curve.

In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of the number of crossings by a one-dimensional diffusion of a threshold where the process exhibits stickiness. We distinguish three types of crossings and show that to each type corresponds a…
