Multi-spin-assisted optical pumping of bulk 13C nuclear spin polarization in diamond

Daniela Pagliero, K. R. Koteswara Rao, Pablo R. Zangara +11

One of the most remarkable properties of the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond is that optical illumination initializes its electronic spin almost completely, a feature that…

The price of a vote: diseconomy in proportional elections

Hygor Piaget M. Melo, Saulo D. S. Reis, André A. Moreira +2

The increasing cost of electoral campaigns raises the need for effective campaign planning and a precise understanding of the return of such investment. Interestingly, despite the…

Blackbody Radiation in Classical Physics: A Historical Perspective

Timothy H. Boyer

We point out that current textbooks of modern physics are a century out-of-date in their treatment of blackbody radiation within classical physics. Relativistic classical electrody…

Bidisperse and polydisperse suspension rheology at large solid fraction

Sidhant Pednekar, Jaehun Chun, Jeffrey Morris

At the same solid volume fraction, bidisperse and polydisperse suspensions display lower viscosities, and weaker normal stress response, compared to monodisperse suspensions. The r…

Extracting the equation of state of lattice gases from Random Sequential Adsorption simulations by means of the Gibbs adsorption isotherm

Shaghayegh Darjani, Joel Koplik, Vincent Pauchard

A novel approach for deriving the equation of state for a 2D lattice gas is proposed, based on arguments similar to those used in the derivation of the Langmuir-Szyszkowski equatio…

Molecular emission near metal interfaces: the polaritonic regime

Joel Yuen-Zhou, Semion K. Saikin, Vinod M. Menon

The strong coupling of a dense layer of molecular excitons with surface-plasmon modes in a metal gives rise to polaritons (hybrid light-matter states) called plexcitons. Surface pl…

Correlated network of networks enhances robustness against catastrophic failures

Byungjoon Min, Muhua Zheng

Networks in nature rarely function in isolation but instead interact with one another with a form of a network of networks (NoN). A network of networks with interdependency between…

The response of jammed packings to thermal fluctuations

Q. Wu, T. Bertrand, M. D. Shattuck +1

We focus on the response of mechanically stable (MS) packings of frictionless, bidisperse disks to thermal fluctuations, with the aim of quantifying how nonlinearities affect syste…

The Contrasting Roles of Planck's Constant in Classical and Quantum Theories

Timothy H. Boyer

We trace the historical appearance of Planck's constant in physics, and we note that initially the constant did not appear in connection with quanta. Furthermore, we emphasize that…
