Coulomb plasmas in outer envelopes of neutron stars

A. Y. Potekhin, G. Chabrier, D. G. Yakovlev

Outer envelopes of neutron stars consist mostly of fully ionized, strongly coupled Coulomb plasmas characterized by typical densities about 10^4-10^{11} g/cc and temperatures about…

Hubbard ladders in a magnetic field

D. C. Cabra, A. De Martino, P. Pujol +1

The behavior of a two leg Hubbard ladder in the presence of a magnetic field is studied by means of Abelian bosonization. We predict the appearance of a new (doping dependent) plat…

Statistical mechanics of fluidized granular media: short range velocity correlations

R. Soto, M. Mareschal

A statistical mechanical study of fluidized granular media is presented. Using a special energy injection mechanism, homogeneous fluidized stationary states are obtained. Molecular…

Phase separation in an homogeneous shear flow: Morphology, growth laws and dynamic scaling

Ludovic Berthier

We investigate numerically the influence of an homogeneous shear flow on the spinodal decomposition of a binary mixture by solving the Cahn-Hilliard equation in a two-dimensional g…

Infrared Spectra and Spectral Energy Distributions of Late-M- and L-Dwarfs

S. K. Leggett, F. Allard, T. R. Geballe +2

We have obtained 1.0-2.5um spectra at R~600 of 14 disk dwarfs with spectral types M6 to L7. For four of the dwarfs we have also obtained infrared spectra at R~3000 in narrow interv…

Superconducting crossed correlations in ferromagnets: implications for thermodynamics and quantum transport

R. Mélin

It is demonstrated that non local Cooper pairs can propagate in ferromagnetic electrodes having an opposite spin orientation. In the presence of such crossed correlations, the supe…

Glassy systems under time-dependent driving forces: application to slow granular rheology

Ludovic Berthier, Leticia F. Cugliandolo, Jose Luis Iguain

We study the dynamics of a glassy model with infinite range interactions externally driven by an oscillatory force. We find a well-defined transition in the (Temperature-Amplitude-…

Phase separation in a chaotic flow

Ludovic Berthier, Jean-Louis Barrat, Jorge Kurchan

The phase separation between two immiscible liquids advected by a bidimensional velocity field is investigated numerically by solving the corresponding Cahn-Hilliard equation. We s…

Nishimori point in the 2D +/- J random-bond Ising model

A. Honecker, M. Picco, P. Pujol

We study the universality class of the Nishimori point in the 2D +/- J random-bond Ising model by means of the numerical transfer-matrix method. Using the domain-wall free-energy,…

Mass estimates in short-period compact binaries

U. Kolb, A. R. King, I. Baraffe

Using stellar models we investigate the relation between mass and the spectral type of the secondary star in low-mass short-period compact binaries such as cataclysmic variables an…

On a conjecture of Atiyah

R. I. Grigorchuk, P. Linnell, T. Schick +1

In this note we explain how the computation of the spectrum of the lamplighter group from \cite{Grigorchuk-Zuk(2000)} yields a counterexample to a strong version of the Atiyah conj…
