In a previous paper [I. Bena, M. Malek Mansour, and F. Baras, ``Hydrodynamic fluctuations in the Kolmogorov flow: Linear regime", Phys. Rev. E 59, 5503 - 5510 (1999)] the statistical properties of the linearized Kolmogorov flow have been…
The Landau-Lifshitz fluctuating hydrodynamics is used to study the statistical properties of the linearized Kolmogorov flow. The relative simplicity of this flow allows a detailed analysis of the fluctuation spectrum from near equilibrium…
An interferometric method is proposed to controllably split an atomic condensate in two spatial components with strongly reduced population fluctuations. All steps in our proposal are in current use in cold atom laboratories, and we show…
High-precise calculation of near-infrared absorption and transient spectra in bulk semiconductors irradiated by an intense terahertz (THz) laser shows that, the ionization rate of the ground-state exciton, probed through the dynamic Fano…
Based on the tetrahedral Zamolodchikov algebra, we prove the Yang-Baxter equation for the R-matrix of 1-D SU(n) Hubbard model. Furthermore, we present a generalization of the model.
Steady state properties in the absorbing phase of the $1d$ pair contact process (PCP) model are investigated. It is shown that, in typical absorbing states (reached by the system's dynamic rules), the density of isolated particles,…
We study the Josephson effect in alkali atomic gases within the two-mode approximation and show that there is a correspondence between the Bogoliubov description and the harmonic limit of the phase representation. We demonstrate that the…
Time-resolved optical lineshapes are calculated using a second-order inhomogeneous cumulant expansion. The calculation shows that in the inhomogeneous limit the optical spectra are determined solely by two-time correlation functions.…
Dynamic heterogeneity has often been modeled by assuming that a single-particle observable, fluctuating at a molecular scale, is influenced by its coupling to environmental variables fluctuating on a second, perhaps slower, time scale.…
We present a detailed theoretical analysis of Bragg spectroscopy from a Bose-Einstein condensate at T=0K. We demonstrate that within the linear response regime, both a quantum field theory treatment and a meanfield Gross-Pitaevskii…
We studied the liquid-glass transition of $SiO_2$ by means of replica theory, utilizing an effective pair potential which was proved to reproduce a few experimental features of silica. We found a finite critical temperature $T_0$, where the…
A new variant of the Wolff cluster algorithm is proposed for simulating systems with competing interactions. This method is used in a high-precision study of the Lifshitz point of the 3D ANNNI model. At the Lifshitz point, several critical…
We show that a correct formulation of the cold collision frequency shift for two photon spectroscopy of Bose-condensed and cold non-Bose-condensed hydrogen is consistent with experimental data. Our treatment includes transport and…
We report photon correlation measurements that allow us to observe unique signatures of biexcitons in a single self-assembled InAs quantum dot. Photon correlation measurements of biexciton emission exhibit both bunching and antibunching…
Results of large-scale Monte Carlo simulations of three-dimensional Ising models with edges and corners are reviewed. At the ordinary transition, angle dependent critical exponents are observed, whereas at the surface transition edge and…
We study the thermodynamics and kinetics of folding for a small peptide. Our data rely on Monte Carlo simulations where the interactions among all atoms are taken into account. Monte Carlo kinetics is used to study folding of the peptide at…
The multifractal structure of the temporal dependence of the Deutsche Aktienindex (DAX) is analyzed. The $q$-th order moments of the structure functions and the singular measures are calculated. The generalized Hurst exponent $H(q)$ and the…
The influence of zinc doping and strain related effects on the normal state transport properties(the resistivity, the Hall angle and the orbital magneto- resistance(OMR) is studied in a series of La1.85Sr0.15Cu(1-y)Zn(y)O4 films with values…
We study a dilute Bose gas of atoms whose scattering length a is large compared to the range of their interaction. We calculate the energy density of the homogeneous Bose-Einstein condensate to second order in the low-density expansion,…
We demonstrate the feasibility of studying dunes in a laboratory experiment. It is shown that an initial sand pile, under a wind flow carrying sand, flattens and gets a shape recalling barchan dunes. An evolution law is proposed for the…
