Mechanical response of random heteropolymers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
We present an analytical theory for heteropolymer deformation, as exemplified experimentally by stretching of single protein molecules. Using a mean-field replica theory, we determine phase diagrams for stress-induced unfolding of typical random ...

Necklace-ring vector solitons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We introduce novel classes of optical vector solitons that consist of incoherently coupled self-trapped “necklace” beams carrying zero, integer, and even fractional angular momentum.

Minimal-memory realization of pearl-necklace encoders of general quantum convolutional codes

open access: yes, 2010
Quantum convolutional codes, like their classical counterparts, promise to offer higher error correction performance than block codes of equivalent encoding complexity, and are expected to find important applications in reliable quantum communication ...

Characterizing Short Necklace States in Logarithmic Transmission Spectrum of Strongly Localized Systems

open access: yes, 2012
High transmission plateaus exist widely in the logarithmic transmission spectra of localized systems. Their physical origins are short chains of coupled-localized-states embedded inside the localized system, which are dubbed as "short necklace states ...

Combinatorial Necklace Splitting [PDF]

open access: yesThe Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 2009
We give a new, combinatorial proof for the necklace splitting problem for two thieves using only Tucker's lemma (a combinatorial version of the Borsuk-Ulam theorem). We show how this method can be applied to obtain a related recent result of Simonyi and even generalize it.

Robust and Thermally Stable Silicone Aerogels with Hyperconnected Network via Kinetically Optimized Hyperbranched Silane Precursors

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Reactivity‐Programmed Assembly: A kinetic‐control strategy is reported for constructing hyperconnected silicone aerogels with a robust “thick‐neck” architecture. By exploiting the reactivity disparity of precursors, flexible segments are uniformly embedded within a rigid skeleton.

A necklace of Wulff shapes

open access: yes, 2005
In a probabilistic model of a film over a disordered substrate, Monte-Carlo simulations show that the film hangs from peaks of the substrate. The film profile is well approximated by a necklace of Wulff shapes.

The purity of set-systems related to Grassmann necklaces [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Studying the problem of quasicommuting quantum minors, Leclerc and Zelevinsky introduced in 1998 the notion of weakly separated sets in $[n]:=\{1,\ldots, n\}$.

Programmable Hydration Pathways Enable Reconfigurable Ionic Thermoelectrics for Energy Harvesting and Thermal‐Tactile Interaction

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Programmable hydration pathways enable reconfigurable ionic thermoelectrics in polyquaternium hydrogels. By coupling microscopic solvation, mesoscale water channels, and macroscopic boundary control, hydration‐gated protonics decouples thermopower, response speed, and stability.

Spin-2 Bose–Einstein condensates in an annular trap with spin–orbit coupling

open access: yesResults in Physics, 2020
We study the ground-state phases of spin–orbit coupled spin-2 Bose–Einstein condensates in a two-dimensional concentrically coupled annular trap with the attractive and repulsive spin-exchange interactions, respectively.
