We present the full analysis of the normal state of the spin-fermion model near the antiferromagnetic instability in two dimensions. This model describes low-energy fermions interacting with their own collective spin fluctuations, which…
It is shown that a compound elastic structure, which displays a dynamic instability, may be designed as the union (or 'fusion') of two structures which are stable when separately analyzed. The compound elastic structure has two degrees of…
It has long been recognized that the key to understand kinetic friction force $F_k$ is the analysis of microscopic instabilities that lead to sudden irreversible "pops" of certain degrees of freedom. In this Letter, the nature of such…

A new generation of experiments on dry macroscopic friction has revealed that the transition from static to dynamic friction is essentially a spatially and temporally non-uniform process, initiated by a rupture-like detachment front. We…

The friction force observed at macroscale is the result of interactions at various lower length scales that are difficult to model in a combined manner. For this reason, simplified approaches are required, depending on the specific aspect…
Two cases of a phenomenological model for ferromagnetism are considered, discrete and continuous. And the relationship, in general, between discrete and continuous models explored. In a similar way to the logistic map behavior, the…
