Phononic thermal conductivity in silicene: the role of vacancy defects and boundary scattering

M. Barati, T. Vazifehshenas, T. Salavati-fard +1

We calculate the thermal conductivity of free-standing silicene using the phonon Boltzmann transport equation within the relaxation time approximation. In this calculation, we inve…

Viscotaxis: microswimmer navigation in viscosity gradients

Benno Liebchen, Paul Monderkamp, Borge ten Hagen +1

The survival of many microorganisms, like \textit{Leptospira} or \textit{Spiroplasma} bacteria, can depend on their ability to navigate towards regions of favorable viscosity. Whil…

Entropy of water and the temperature-induced stiffening of amyloid networks

Slav A. Semerdzhiev, Saskia Lindhoud, Anja Stefanovic +3

In water, networks of semi-flexible fibrils of the protein -synuclein stiffen significantly with increasing temperature. We make plausible that this reversible stiffening is a r…

Two-Scalar Turbulent Rayleigh-Benard Convection: Numerical Simulations and Unifying Theory

Yantao Yang, Roberto Verzicco, Detlef Lohse

We conduct direct numerical simulations for turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard (RB) convection, driven simultaneously by two scalar components (say, temperature and salt concentration) with…

Homoclinic saddle to saddle-focus transitions in 4D systems

Manu Kalia, Yuri A. Kuznetsov, Hil G. E. Meijer

A saddle to saddle-focus homoclinic transition when the stable leading eigenspace is 3-dimensional (called the 3DL bifurcation) is analyzed. Here a pair of complex eigenvalues and…

Simulating boson sampling in lossy architectures

Raúl García-Patrón, Jelmer J. Renema, Valery Shchesnovich

Photon losses are among the strongest imperfections affecting multi-photon interference. Despite their importance, little is known about their effect on boson sampling experiments.…

Water Bottle Flipping Physics

Pim J. Dekker, Lumen A. G. Eek, Mees M. Flapper +6

The water bottle flipping challenge consists of spinning a bottle, partially filled with water, and making it land upright. It is quite a striking phenomenon, since at first sight…

Breath figures under electrowetting: electrically controlled evolution of drop condensation patterns

Davood Baratian, Ranabir Dey, Harmen Hoek +2

We show that electrowetting (EW) with structured electrodes significantly modifies the distribution of drops condensing onto flat hydrophobic surfaces by aligning the drops and by…

Clogging in constricted suspension flows

Alvaro Marin, Henri Lhuissier, Massimiliano Rossi +1

The flow of a charged-stabilized suspension through a single constricted channel is studied experimentally by tracking the particles individually. Surprisingly, the behavior is fou…

Experiments and characterization of low-frequency oscillations in a granular column

Loreto Oyarte-Gálvez, Nicolás Rivas, Devaraj van der Meer

The behaviour of a vertically vibrated granular bed is reminiscent of a liquid in that it exhibits many phenomena such as convection and Faraday-like surface waves. However, when t…

Plasmon modes in monolayer and double-layer black phosphorus under applied uniaxial strain

S. Saberi-Pouya, T. Vazifehshenas, M. Saleh +2

We study the effects of an applied in-plane uniaxial strain on the plasmon dispersions of monolayer, bilayer and double-layer phosphorene structures in the long-wavelength limit wi…

Nearest-neighbour Markov point processes on graphs with Euclidean edges

M. N. M. van Lieshout

We define nearest-neighbour point processes on graphs with Euclidean edges and linear networks. They can be seen as the analogues of renewal processes on the real line. We show tha…
