Liquid 3He confined in silica aerogel provides us with a unique system to study the effects of quenched disorder on the properties of a strongly correlated quantum liquid. The superfluid phases display interplay between disorder and complex…
High order perturbation theory corrections to the superfluid transition temperature in a weakly interacting Fermi gas with repulsive interaction are calculated. This involves calculating the contributions of third and fourth order diagrams…
I review the principal theories that have been proposed for the superconducting phases of UPt$_3$. The detailed H-T phase diagram places constraints on any theory for the multiple superconducting phases. I comment on the limitations of the…
We study by means of molecular dynamics simulations of periodic shear cells, the influence of particle shape on the global mechanical behavior of dense granular media. Results at macro-mechanical level show that for large shear deformation…
We present preliminary results for the orientational order in deposits of dipolar particles, on one dimensional substrates. The deposits are generated using a model where the incoming dipolar particle interacts with the other particles in…
In He-3 superfluids quantized vorticity can take many different forms: It can appear as distributed periodic textures, as sheets, or as lines. In the anisotropic He-3A phase in most cases the amplitude of the order parameter remains…
Both uniaxial and biaxial nematic liquid crystals are defined by orientational ordering of their building blocks. While uniaxial nematics only orient the long molecular axis, biaxial order implies local order along three axes. As the…
We consider a thin film of superfluid ${}^3$He under conditions that stabilize the A-phase. We show that in the presence of a uniform superflow and an external magnetic field perpendicular to the film, the spin degrees of freedom develop a…
The hydrodynamic theory of polar liquid crystals is widely used to describe biological active fluids as well as passive molecular materials. Depending on the `shear-alignment parameter', in passive or weakly active polar fluids under…
We study the thermodynamics of metals by applying q-deformed algebras. We shall mainly focus our attention on q-deformed Sommerfeld parameter as a function of q-deformed electronic specific heat. The results revealed that q-deformation acts…
The relative phase of the order parameters in the collision of two condensates can influence the outcome of their collision in the case of weak coupling. With increasing interaction strength however, the initially independent phases of the…
We study by numerical simulation the magnetic order in ensembles of randomly packed magnetic spherical particles which, induced by their uniaxial anisotropy in the strong coupling limit, behave as Ising dipoles. We explore the role of the…
The effect of out-of-plane orientational freedom on the orientational ordering properties of a monolayer of hard ellipsoids is studied using Parsons-Lee scaling approach and replica exchange Monte Carlo computer simulation. Prolate and…
Drying of particle suspensions is an ubiquitous phenomenon with many natural and practical applications. In particular, in unidirectional drying, the evaporation of the solvent induces flows which accumulate particles at the liquid/air…
It is shown that charge ordering in layered crystalline metals causes an increase in the normal state energy of the conducting layers. If this increase in the energy exceeds the difference between the superconducting state energy and the…
We review some recent investigations of the 3d plaquette Ising model. This displays a strong first-order phase transition with unusual scaling properties due to the size-dependent degeneracy of the low-temperature phase. In particular, the…
Accurate prediction of spray atomization process using an Euler-Lagrange (EL) approach is challenging because of high volume fraction of the liquid phase in dense regimes. This would in reality displace a remarkable portion of the gaseous…
By combining first-principles electronic-structure calculations with the model Hamiltonian approach, we systematically study the magnetic properties of sodium superoxide (NaO2), originating from interacting superoxide molecules. We show…
We have designed an experiment to study the role of global anisotropic quasiparticle scattering on the dirty aerogel superfluid 3He system. We observe significant regions of two stable phases at temperatures below the superfluid transition…
Measurements of the order parameter texture of rotating superfluid 3He-B have been performed as a function of the applied azimuthal counterflow velocity down to temperatures of 0.2Tc. The results are compared to the hydrostatic theory of…
