Mean first-passage time of an anisotropic diffusive searcher
Nicolas Levernier, Olivier Bénichou, Raphaël Voituriez
We consider an anisotropic needle-like Brownian particle with nematic symmetry confined in a domain. For this system, the coupling of translational and rotational diffusion ma…
Non-Markovian closure kinetics of flexible polymers with hydrodynamic interactions
Nicolas Levernier, Maxim Dolgushev, Olivier Bénichou +3
This paper presents a theoretical analysis of the closure kinetics of a polymer with hydrodynamic interactions. This analysis, which takes into account the non-Markovian dynamics o…
Non-Amontons-Coulomb local friction law of randomly rough contact interfaces with rubber
D. T. Nguyen, E. Wandersman, A. Prevost +3
We report on measurements of the local friction law at a multi-contact interface formed between a smooth rubber and statistically rough glass lenses, under steady state friction. U…
Mean first-passage times of non-Markovian random walkers in confinement
T. Guérin, N. Levernier, O. Bénichou +1
The first-passage time (FPT), defined as the time a random walker takes to reach a target point in a confining domain, is a key quantity in the theory of stochastic processes. Its…
Normal contact and friction of rubber with model randomly rough surfaces
S. Yashima, V. Romero, E. Wandersman +4
We report on normal contact and friction measurements of model multicontact interfaces formed between smooth surfaces and substrates textured with a statistical distribution of sph…
Soft Lithography using Nectar Droplets
Saheli Biswas, Aditi Chakrabarti, Antoine Chateauminois +3
In spite of significant advances in replication technologies, methods to produce well-defined three dimensional structures are still at its infancy. Such a limitation would be evid…
