Martensitic transformation in steels is responsible for their very high strength and has thus been studied for more than one century since the first works of Martens. However, there is not yet simple physical theory. A rigorous…
A number of laws being characteristic for switching waves are illustrated by the examples of waves of a falling dominoes. The specificity of a switching wave at the martensite crystal growth caused by dynamic structure of interphase area is…
The exact solution for a small falling drop is a classical result by Hadamard and Rybczynski. But experiments show that small drops fall slower than predicted, giving closer agreement with Stokes' result for a falling hard sphere.…
We develop a density matrix formalism to describe coupled electron-nuclear dynamics. To this end we introduce an effective Hamiltonian formalism that describes electronic transitions and small (quantum) nuclear fluctuations along a…
Solids subject to continuous changes of temperature or mechanical load often exhibit discontinuous avalanche-like responses. For instance, avalanche dynamics have been observed during plastic deformation, fracture, domain switching in…
Basic equations of diffusional kinetics in alloys are statistically derived using the master equation approach. To describe diffusional transformations in substitution alloys, we derive the "quasi-equilibrium" kinetic equation which…
We propose a ferromagnetic Heusler alloy that can switch between a metal and a half-metal. Thiseffect can provide tunable spintronics properties. Using the density functional theory (DFT) withreliable implementations of the electron…
Existence of nonnegative weak solutions is shown for a thin film approximation of the Muskat problem with gravity and capillary forces taken into account. The model describes the space-time evolution of the heights of the two fluid layers…
The East model has a dynamical phase transition between an active (fluid) and inactive (glass) state. We show that this phase transition generalizes to "softened" systems where constraint violations are allowed with small but finite…
A combination of first principle molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with a rate equation model (MD-RE approach) is presented to study the trapping and the scattering of rare gas atoms from metal surfaces. The temporal evolution of the atom…
We address a class of Markov jump linear systems that are characterized by the underlying Markov process being time-inhomogeneous with a priori unknown transition probabilities. Necessary and sufficient conditions for uniform stochastic…
We have constructed a complete hydrodynamic theory of nucleation and growth in a one--dimensional version of an elastic shear martensitic transformation with open boundary conditions where we have accounted for interfacial energies with…
We introduce and investigate a coarse-grained model for quasi one-dimensional ferrogels. In our description the magnetic particles are represented by hard spheres with a magnetic dipole moment in their centers. Harmonic springs connecting…
The Mott-Hubbard transition is studied in the context of the two-dimensional Hubbard model. Analytical calculations show the existence of a critical value Uc of the potential strength which separates a paramagnetic metallic phase from a…
We describe the two-dimensional Mott transition in a Hubbard-like model with nearest neighbors interactions based on a recent solution to the Zamolodchikov tetrahedron equation, which extends the notion of integrability to two-dimensional…
The determination of phase behavior and, in particular, the nature of phase transitions in two-dimensional systems is often clouded by finite size effects and by access to the appropriate thermodynamic regime. We address these issues using…
In ideal MHD, the magnetic flux is advected by the plasma motion, freezing flux-surfaces into the flow. An MHD equilibrium is reached when the flow relaxes and force balance is achieved. We ask what classes of MHD equilibria can be accessed…
In this paper we consider a simplified two-dimensional scalar model for the formation of mesoscopic domain patterns in martensitic shape-memory alloys at the interface between a region occupied by the parent (austenite) phase and a region…
Using a variational model based on non-linear elasticity we investigate whether in a cubic-to-tetragonal phase transformation it is energetically preferable to nucleate martensite within austenite. Under minimal growth assumptions on the…
We consider the Bose-Hubbard model on a two-leg ladder under an artificial magnetic field, and investigate the superfluid-to-Mott insulator transition in this setting. Recently, this system has been experimentally realized [M.Atala…
