We quantify the effect of high-energy JIMWLK evolution on the deformed structure or heavy (Uranium) and intermediate (Ruthenium) nuclei. The soft gluon emissions in the high-energy evolution are found to drive the initially deformed nuclei…
Debye-H\"{u}ckel theory, originally developed to describe dilute electrolyte solutions, has proved particularly successful as a description of magnetic monopoles in spin ice systems such as Dy$_{2}$Ti$_{2}$O$_{7}$. For this model, Ryzhkin…
The role of Li-based batteries in the electrification of society cannot be understated, however their operational lifetime is often limited by the formation of dendrites, i.e. the localised deposition of Li that can cause shorts between the…
We explore the electrostatic bending response of a chain of charged particles confined on a finite helical filament. We analyze how the energy difference $\Delta E$ between the bent and the unbent helical chain scales with the length of the…
We have performed numerical simulations of dendritic growth at very low undercoolings in two spatial dimension using a phase-field model. In this regime of growth, the dendrites present sharp corners in the tip region while the trailing…
We present a phenomenological treatment of diffusion-driven martensitic phase transformations in multi-component crystalline solids that arise from non-convex free energies in mechanical and chemical variables. The treatment describes…
The recent introduction of recovery rheology has provided qualitatively new physical insights into the yielding and flow of soft matter systems across diverse mechanically driven nonequilibrium protocols by separating the deformation strain…
Dendrite growth is a long-standing challenge that has limited the applications of rechargeable lithium metal electrodes. Here, we developed a grand potential based nonlinear phase-field model to study the electrodeposition of lithium as…
Nanographitic structures (NGSs) with multitude of morphological features are grown on SiO2/Si substrates by electron cyclotron resonance - plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (ECR-PECVD). CH4 is used as source gas with Ar and H2 as…
We use a combined phase-field/lattice-Boltzmann scheme [D. Medvedev, K. Kassner, Phys. Rev. E {\bf 72}, 056703 (2005)] to simulate non-facetted crystal growth from an undercooled melt in external flows. Selected growth parameters are…
We have carried out computer simulations of overcompressed suspensions of hard monodisperse ellipsoids and observed their crystallization dynamics. The system was compressed very rapidly in order to reach the regime of slow, glass-like…
We use the Dynamic Density-Functional Formalism and the Fundamental Measure Theory as applied to a fluid of parallel hard squares to study the dynamics of heterogeneous growth of non-uniform phases with columnar and crystalline symmetries.…
We report the chemical synthesis of Fe-core/Au-shell nanoparticles by a reverse micelle method, and the investigation of their growth mechanisms and oxidation-resistant characteristics. The core-shell structure and the presence of the Fe &…
Vapor growth of semiconductors is analyzed using recently obtained dependence of the adsorption energy on the electron charge transfer between the surface adsorbed species and the bulk [Krukowski et al. J. Appl. Phys. 114 (2013) 063507,…
Triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) are discovered to conform to surfaces of given charge density distributions embedded in crystals [Z. Kristallogr. \textbf{170}, 138 (1985)]. Based on our previous work [Phys. Rev. Mater. \textbf{9},…
Kinetics of separation between the low and high density phases in a single component Lennard-Jones model has been studied via molecular dynamics simulations, at a very low temperature, in the space dimension $d=2$. For densities close to…
Despite extensive theoretical treatment of short- to long-crack transitions, direct experimental quantification of how elastic and plastic energy contributions evolve at the crack tip during arrest has remained absent. In this study, we…
The nucleation of a lamellar phase from a supercooled homogeneous phase in a fluctuation driven first-order transition is studied, based on a phenomenological free energy due to Brazovskii. The absence of phase coexistence in the…
We study a generic model of self-assembling chains which can branch and form networks with branching points (junctions) of arbitrary functionality. The physical realizations include physical gels, wormlike micells, dipolar fluids and…
Many structural materials (metal alloys, polymers, minerals, etc.) are formed by quenching liquids into crystalline solids. This highly non-equilibrium process often leads to polycrystalline growth patterns that are broadly termed…
