We give an overview exploring the role of kinetics in multicomponent mixtures. Compared to the most commonly studied binary (single species plus solvent) case, multicomponent fluids show a rich interplay between kinetics and thermodynamics…

We present, in this work, our preliminary results of a systematic theoretical study of the adsorption of N over As-terminated GaAs (100) (2$\times$1) surfaces. We analyzed the changes in the bond-lenghts, bond-angles and the energetics…

The quantum anomalous Hall effect has been theoretically predicted and experimentally verified in magnetic topological insulators. In addition, the surface states of these materials exhibit a hedgehog-like "spin" texture in momentum space.…

We discuss the plastic behavior of an amorphous matrix reinforced by hard particles. A mesoscopic depinning-like model accounting for Eshelby elastic interactions is implemented. Only the effect of a plastic disorder is considered.…

Periodic and symmetric two-dimensional textures with various cross-sectional profiles have been employed to improve and optimize the physical response of the surfaces such as drag force, superhydrophobicity, and adhesion. While the effect…

Using exact diagonalization and quantum Monte Carlo calculations we investigate the effects of disorder on the phase diagram of both non-interacting and interacting models of two-dimensional topological insulators. In the fermion sign…

The adsorption structure of the molecular switch azobenzene on Ag(111) is investigated by a combination of normal incidence x-ray standing waves and dispersion-corrected density functional theory. The inclusion of non-local collective…

Properties of engineering materials are generally influenced by defects such as point defects (vacancies, interstitials, substitutional defects), line defects (dislocations), planar defects (grain boundaries, free surfaces/nanostructures,…

Active matter encompasses different nonequilibrium systems in which individual constituents convert energy into non-conservative forces or motion at the microscale. This review provides an elementary introduction to the role of topology in…

We consider binary liquid mixtures near their critical consolute points and exposed to geometrically flat but chemically structured substrates. The chemical contrast between the various substrate structures amounts to opposite local…

If constraints are imposed on a macromolecule, two inequivalent classical models may be used: the stiff and the rigid one. This work studies the effects of such constraints on the Conformational Equilibrium Distribution (CED) of the model…

By studying the effects of the shape moduli associated with toroidal compactifications, we demonstrate that Planck-sized extra dimensions can cast significant ``shadows'' over low-energy physics. These shadows can greatly distort our…

We study macroion adsorption on planar surfaces, through a simple model. The importance of entropy in the interfacial phenomena is stressed. Our results are in qualitative agreement with available computer simulations and experimental…

The magnetic dipole absorption cross section of a spherically shaped metal particle was calculated in terms of kinetic approach. The particle considered was placed in the field of a plane electromagnetic wave. The model of boundary…

In this work we investigate influence of substrate temperature on the surface morphology for substrate coverage below one monolayer. The model of film growth is based on random deposition enriched by limited surface diffusion. Also…

We study the surface critical behavior of semi-infinite systems belonging to the bulk universality class of the Ising model. Special attention is paid to the local behavior of experimentally relevant quantities such as the order parameter…

This work studies the influence of several compositional effects on thermal and reactive processes. First, the impact of using a fully compositional model in the context of thermal simulations is considered. Detailed phase behavior models…

In this work we will focus on the effects produced by topological disorder on the electronic properties of a graphene plane. The presence of this type of disorder induces curvature in the samples of this material, making quite difficult the…

We study the geometrical instability arising in multi-field models of inflation with negatively-curved field space. We analyse how the homogeneous background evolves in presence of geometrical destabilisation, and show that, in simple…

Divergence-form operators with stationary random coefficients homogenize over large scales. We investigate the effect of certain perturbations of the medium on the homogenized coefficients. The perturbations that we consider are rare at the…
