We study rotating quasi-two-dimensional Bose-Einstein-condensates, in which atoms are dressed to a highly excited Rydberg state. This leads to weak effective interactions that induce a transition to a mesoscopic supersolid state.…
A novel state is predicted for a S/F heterostructure. It is shown that the equilibrium F/S bilayer can be in a bistable state: one state is ground and the other is metastable. One of these states is always normal and the other is…
We discuss a possibility of observing superfluid phenomena in a quasi-1D weakly interacting Bose gas at finite temperatures. The weakness of interaction in combination with generic properties of 1D liquids can result in a situation when…
We study the effects of quasiperiodicity on the stability of conventional and unconventional superconductors. Quasiperiodicity is modelled using the three-dimensional Aubry-Andre model, a system in which electrons are coupled to a…
Superconductivity owes its properties to the phase of the electron pair condensate that breaks the $U(1)$ symmetry. In the most traditional ground state, the phase is uniform and rigid. The normal state can be unstable towards special…
In this paper we study metastable states in single- and two-component dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates. We show that this system supports a rich spectrum of symmetries that are remarkably stable despite not being ground states. In a…
While strong topological insulators (STI) have been experimentally realized soon after their theoretical predictions, a weak topological insulator (WTI) has yet to be unambiguously confirmed. A major obstacle is the lack of distinct natural…
We study the dynamical behavior of a one dimensional interface interacting with a sticky unpenetrable substrate or wall. The interface is subject to two effects going in opposite directions. Contact between the interface and the substrate…
We study non-equilibrium analogues of surface phase transitions in a minimal model of active particles in contact with a purely repulsive potential barrier that mimics a thin porous membrane. Under conditions of bulk motility-induced phase…
We present fluid dynamics videos illustrating wetting splashing-produced by water drop impact onto hydrophobic microstructures at high impact velocity ($\sim 3$ ms$^{-1}$). The substrate consists of regular and transparent microtextures in…
We consider the problem of the Winterbottom's construction and Young's equation in the presence of a rough substate and establish their microscopic validity within a 1+1-dimensional SOS type model. We then present the low temperature…
The surface free energy is one of the most fundamental properties of solids, hence, manipulating the surface energy and thereby the wetting properties of solids, has tremendous potential for various physical, chemical, biological as well as…
The concept of a supersolid state is paradoxical. It combines the crystallization of a many-body system with dissipationless flow of the atoms it is built of. This quantum phase requires the breaking of two continuous symmetries, the phase…
The change in contact angles due to the injection of low salinity water or any other wettability altering agent in an oil-rich porous medium is modeled by a network model of disordered pores transporting two immiscible fluids. We introduce…
Hypothesis Emerging energy-related technologies deal with multiscale hierarchical structures, intricate surface morphology, non-axisymmetric interfaces, and complex contact lines where wetting is difficult to quantify with classical…
The viscosity of oxygen-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotube (O-MWCNT) nanofluids was measured for concentrations from 0.1 to 10 ppm under conditions of 0 to 30 MPag pressures and 0 to 10 C temperatures. The presence of O-MWCNTs did…
We identify sufficient conditions on the structure of the interaction Hamiltonian between a two-level quantum system and a thermal bath which, without any external drive or coherent measurement, guarantee the generation of steady-state…
Wettability is a pore-scale property that has an important impact on capillarity, residual trapping, and hysteresis in porous media systems. In many applications, the wettability of the rock surface is assumed to be constant in time and…
This study investigates the role of wall wettability, characterized by the wall contact angle (WCA), in controlling cavitation dynamics and stability around a Clark Y hydrofoil. High-fidelity Large Eddy Simulations (LES) coupled with a…
A $2D$ model describing depinning of an interface from a rough, self-affine substrate, is studied by transfer matrix methods. The phase diagram is determined for several values of the roughness exponent, $\zeta_S$, of the attractive wall.…
