Statistical Mechanics of Thin Spherical Shells
Physical Review X, 2017 We explore how thermal fluctuations affect the mechanics of thin amorphous spherical shells. In flat membranes with a shear modulus, thermal fluctuations increase the bending rigidity and reduce the in-plane elastic moduli in a scale-dependent fashion ...

Glucose priming effect on microbial intercellular metabolic flux diversity in a marine intertidal sediment. [PDF]
PLoS ONEMicrobial communities inhabiting intertidal sediment show diverse metabolisms to adapt to hydrodynamic conditions. However, the priming effect of exogenous organic matter on microbial metabolic fluxes remains poorly understood.

Surface fluctuations of liquids confined on flat and patterned solid substrates [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2014 We report experimental measurements of the surface fluctuations of micron-thick oil films spread onto a solid substrate. We use a recently developed optical technique based on the measurement of the deflection of a laser beam triggered by changes in the local surface slope.

Collective amplitude mode fluctuations in a flat band superconductor formed at a semimetal surface [PDF]
Physical Review B, 2016 We study the fluctuations of the amplitude (i.e., the Higgs-Anderson) mode in a superconducting system of coupled Dirac particles proposed as a model for possible surface or interface superconductivity in rhombohedral graphite. This system also serves as a generic model of a topological semimetal with an interaction-driven transition on its surface. We

Effect of Fluctuating Surface Heat and Mass Flux on Natural Convection Flow along a Vertical Flat Plate [PDF]
Mathematical Problems in Engineering, 2015 An investigation has been carried on double diffusive effect on boundary layer flow due to small amplitude oscillation in surface heat and mass flux. Extensive parametric simulations were performed in order to elucidate the effects of some important parameters, that is, Prandtl number, Schmidt number, and Buoyancy ratio parameter on flow field in ...
