We examine the solvent-mediated interaction between two neutral colloidal particles due to preferential adsorption in a near-critical binary mixture. We take into account the renormalization effect due to the critical fluctuations using the…
We develop an irreversible thermodynamics framework for the description of creep deformation in crystalline solids by mechanisms that involve vacancy diffusion and lattice site generation and annihilation. The material undergoing the creep…
We investigate, by means of the scattering approach, the Casimir-Polder interaction between a neutral anisotropic polarizable particle and a corrugated surface made of a realistic material. By focusing on the lateral force (arising from the…
Spontaneous breaking of discrete symmetries play non-trivial role in many well-motivated particle physics models. However, it leads to a network of cosmologically unwanted domain walls (DWs) which can be made unstable by introducing a bias…
We analyze a non-isothermal Darcy-Brinkman thin-film flow with a periodically oscillating boundary and viscous dissipation acting as a heat source. Using asymptotic analysis and the periodic unfolding method, we establish the convergence of…
We study a microscopic mechanism of Fe-pnictide superconductor, considering the screening effects of Coulomb interaction in addition to the conventional spin-fluctuation mechanism. It is shown that, by electron doping, the transition…
We investigated the effect of time-dependent ice growth on dust grains on the opacity and hence on the dust temperature in a collapsing molecular cloud core, with the aim of quantifying the effect of the dust temperature variations on ice…
Grain boundary engineering via dopant segregation can dramatically change the properties of a material. For metallic systems, most current studies concerning interfacial segregation and subsequent transitions of grain boundary structure are…
The magnetic properties and the effects of interparticle interaction on it have been studied in nanoparticles of half doped Pr$_{0.5}$Sr$_{0.5}$MnO$_{3}$. Three samples consisting of nanoparticles of different average particle sizes are…
Context. The analysis of observations of circumstellar disks around young stellar objects is often based on models with a smooth and continuous density distribution. However, spatially resolved observations with increasing angular…
The influence of (non-magnetic and magnetic) impurities on the transition temperature of a d-wave superconductor is studied anew within the framework of BCS theory. Pairing interaction decreases linearly with the impurity concentration.…
A prominent chemical reaction in interstellar clouds is the formation of molecular hydrogen by recombination, which essentially takes place on dust grain surfaces. Analytical approaches to model such a system have hitherto neglected the…
We investigate velocity statistics of an impurity immersed in a uniform granular fluid. An analytic solution of the inelastic Maxwell model shows that a phase transition occurs in the cooling case. Light impurities have similar velocity…
Recent high precision experimental data for heavy-ion fusion cross sections at energies in the vicinity of the Coulomb barrier systematically show that a strikingly large surface diffuseness parameter for a Woods-Saxon potential is required…
We study melting in a two-dimensional system of classical particles with Gaussian-core interactions in disordered environments. The pure system validates the conventional two-step melting with a hexatic phase intervening between the solid…
Intrabeam scattering refers to the effects of the Coulomb interaction acting between pairs of charged particles within a bunch in an accelerator. One of the main consequences of intrabeam scattering is a change in the emittances of a bunch:…
We calculate the density of states for an interacting quantum wire in the presence two impurities of arbitrary potential strength. To perform this calculation, we describe the Coulomb interactions in the wire within the Tomonaga-Luttinger…
Disordered granular matter exhibits mechanical responses that occupy the boundary between fluids and solids, lacking a complete description within a continuum theoretical framework. Recent studies have shown that, in the quasi-static limit,…
The mechanical response of solids depends on temperature because the way atoms and molecules respond collectively to deformation is affected at various levels by thermal motion. This is a fundamental problem of solid state science and plays…
We study dewetting of thin polymer films with built-in topographical fluctuations produced by rubbing the film surface with a rayon cloth. By varying the density of imposed surface defects, we unambiguously distinguish spinodal dewetting,…
