Brownian motion: a paradigm of soft matter and biological physics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
This is a pedagogical introduction to Brownian motion on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Einstein's 1905 paper on the subject. After briefly reviewing Einstein's work in its contemporary context, we pursue some lines of further developments and ...

Design and Construction of a One- Dimensional DNA Track for an Artificial Molecular Motor [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
DNA is a versatile heteropolymer that shows great potential as a building block for a diverse array of nanostructures. We present here a solution to the problem of designing and synthesizing a DNA-based nanostructure that will serve as the track along ...

Theory of activated-rate processes under shear with application to shear-induced aggregation of colloids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Using a novel approximation scheme within the convective diffusion (two body Smoluchowski) equation framework, we unveil the shear-driven aggregation mechanism at the origin of structure-formation in sheared colloidal systems.

Diffusion in Stationary Flow from Mesoscopic Non-equilibrium Thermodynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
We analyze the diffusion of a Brownian particle in a fluid under stationary flow. By using the scheme of non-equilibrium thermodynamics in phase space, we obtain the Fokker-Planck equation which is compared with others derived from kinetic theory and ...

Controlling anomalous stresses in soft field-responsive systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
We report a new phenomenon occurring in field-responsive suspensions: shear-induced anomalous stresses. Competition between a rotating field and a shear flow originates a multiplicity of anomalous stress behaviors in suspensions of bounded dimers ...

Sub-wavelength surface IR imaging of soft-condensed matter

open access: yes, 2010
Outlined here is a technique for sub-wavelength infrared surface imaging performed using a phase matched optical parametric oscillator laser and an atomic force microscope as the detection mechanism.

Shock (Blast) Mitigation by “Soft” Condensed Matter [PDF]

open access: yesMRS Proceedings, 2002
ABSTRACTIt is a common point that “soft” condensed matter (like granular materials or foams) can reduce damage caused by impact or explosion. It is attributed to their ability to absorb significant energy. This is certainly the case for quasistatic type of deformation at low velocity of impact widely used for packing of fragile devices.

CP_N Solitons in Quantum Hall Systems

open access: yes, 2001
We will present here an elementary pedagogical introduction to $CP_N$ solitons in quantum Hall systems. We begin with a brief introduction to both $CP_N$ models and to quantum Hall (QH) physics.

Development of Sustainable MgO–C Refractories Using MgO–C Recyclates and a Novel Eco‐Friendly Fructose–Tannin Binder Crosslinked With Citric Acid

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study develops sustainable MgO–C refractories using recycled materials and eco‐friendly fructose–tannin binders. The enhanced performance of citric acid as a cross‐linker and functional additives on mechanical and thermomechanical properties was examined. Characterization included strength tests, immersion trials, and microstructural and inclusion
