Vibrational properties of ordered athermal solids near yielding remain poorly understood. We show that yielding in a sheared crystal is governed not by a single localized instability but by directionally extended multimode softening that…
We study fractal measures on Euclidean space through the dynamics of "zooming in" on typical points. The resulting family of measures (the "scenery"), can be interpreted as an orbit in an appropriate dynamical system which often…
Freezing of charged colloids on square or triangular two-dimensional periodic substrates has been recently shown to realize a rich variety of orientational orders. We propose a theoretical framework to analyze the corresponding structures.…
The peak position, impact-parameter range, and optimal conditions for observing spiral scattering of relativistic particles in a uniformly bent crystal are estimated. The existence of spiral scattering with a square-root singularity is…
We calculate Root Mean Square (RMS) deviations from equilibrium for atoms in a two dimensional crystal with local (e.g. covalent) bonding between close neighbors. Large scale Monte Carlo calculations are in good agreement with analytical…
We propose a generic mechanism for the formation of narrow rings in rotating systems. For this purpose we use a system of discs rotating about a common center lying well outside the discs. A discussion of this system shows that narrow rings…
The quantitative contributions of a mixed phase-space to the mean characterizing the distribution of diagonal transition matrix elements and to the variance characterizing the distributions of non-diagonal transition matrix elements are…
In the theory of resonant scattering, the double differential cross section involves the computation of a multifold integral of a 4-point correlation function, which generalizes the traditional 2-point correlation function of Van-Hove for…
We investigate the static and dynamic properties of a celebrated model of social segregation, providing a complete explanation of the mechanisms leading to segregation both in one- and two-dimensional systems. Standard statistical physics…
Geometrically decorated two-dimensional (2D) discrete surfaces can be more effective than conventional smooth reflectors in managing wave radiation. Constructive non-specular wave scattering permits the scattering angle to be other than…
A chiral-order parameter of spins in a crystal can not be inferred from measurements of Bragg reflections, although there are several claims in published literature to the contrary. Appropriate techniques use total scattering, of x-rays or…
The Mullineux map is a combinatorial function on partitions which describes the effect of tensoring a simple module for the symmetric group in characteristic $p$ with the one-dimensional sign representation. It can also be interpreted as an…
Covariance representations are developed for the uniform distributions on the Euclidean spheres in terms of spherical gradients and Hessians. They are applied to derive a number of Sobolev type inequalities and to recover and refine the…
A simple model for calculating the diffraction radiation characteristics from an ultrarelativistic charged particle moving close to a tilted ideally conducting strip is developed. Resonant diffraction radiation (RDR) is treated as a…
In crystallography, a structure is typically represented by the arrangement of atoms in the direct space. Furthermore, space group symmetry and Wyckoff site notations are applied to characterize crystal structures with only a few variables.…
This article presents and discusses the general features and aspects regarding the electromagnetic scattering by a small core-shell plasmonic sphere. First, the thickness effects on the plasmonic resonances are presented in the…
We introduce the notion of almost realizability, an arithmetic generalization of realizability for integer sequences, which is the property of counting periodic points for some map. We characterize the intersection between the set of…
We give a precise measure of the rate at which repeated differentiation of a random trigonometric polynomial causes the roots of the function to approach equal spacing. This can be viewed as a toy model of crystallization in one dimension.…
The master equation describing non-equilibrium one-dimensional problems like diffusion limited reactions or critical dynamics of classical spin systems can be written as a Schr\"odinger equation in which the wave function is the probability…
