Wetting on Nanorough Surfaces

Thierry Biben, Laurent Joly

We present in this Letter a free-energy approach to the dynamics of a fluid near a nanostructured surface. The model accounts both for the static phase equilibrium in the vicinity…

When gel and glass meet: A mechanism for multistep relaxation

Pinaki Chaudhuri, Ludovic Berthier, Pablo I. Hurtado +1

We use computer simulations to study the dynamics of a physical gel at high densities where gelation and the glass transition interfere. We report and provide detailed physical und…

Measurement of the pure dissolution rate constant of a mineral in water

Jean Colombani

We present here a methodology, using holographic interferometry, enabling to measure the pure surface reaction rate constant of the dissolution of a mineral in water, unambiguously…

Statics and Dynamics of the Wormlike Bundle Model

Claus Heussinger, Felix Schueller, Erwin Frey

Bundles of filamentous polymers are primary structural components of a broad range of cytoskeletal structures, and their mechanical properties play key roles in cellular functions…

Ageing of a granular pile induced by thermal cycling

Thibaut Divoux, Ion Vassilief, Hervé Gayvallet +1

Here we show that variations of temperature, even of a few degrees in amplitude, induce the ageing of a granular pile. In particular, we report measurements of physical properties…

The jamming transition as probed by quasistatic shear flow

Claus Heussinger, Jean-Louis Barrat

We study the rheology of amorphous packings of soft, frictionless particles close to jamming. Implementing a quasistatic simulation method we generate a well defined ensemble of st…
