Rotating He-3 droplets
Marti Pi, Francesco Ancilotto, Manuel Barranco
Motivated by recent experiments, we study normal-phase rotating He-3 droplets within Density Functional Theory in a semi-classical approach. The sequence of rotating droplet shapes…
Angular momentum in rotating superfluid droplets
Sean M. O. OConnell, Rico Mayro P. Tanyag, Deepak Verma +14
The angular momentum of rotating superfluid droplets originates from quantized vortices and capillary waves, the interplay between which remains to be uncovered. Here, the rotation…
Direct Measurement of Lighthill's Energetic Efficiency of a Minimal Magnetic Microswimmer
Carles Calero, José García-Torres, Antonio Ortiz-Ambriz +3
The realization of artificial microscopic swimmers able to propel in viscous fluids is an emergent research field of fundamental interest and vast technological applications. For c…
Ice Rule and Emergent Frustration in Particle Ice and Beyond
Antonio Ortiz-Ambriz, Cristiano Nisoli, Charles Reichhardt +2
Geometric frustration and the ice rule are two concepts that are intimately connected and widespread across condensed matter. The first refers to the inability of a system to satis…
Magnetic assembly and annealing of colloidal lattices and superlattices
Pietro Tierno
The ability to assemble mesoscopic colloidal lattices above a surface is important for fundamental studies related with nucleation and crystallization, but also for a variety of te…
Liquid-crystal enabled electrophoresis: Scenarios for driving and reconfigurable assembling of colloids
S. Hernàndez-Navarro, P. Tierno, J. Ignés-Mullol +1
We demonstrate several examples of driving and steering of colloids when dispersed in nematic liquid crystals. The driving mechanism is based on the principle of nonlinear electrop…
A Tuneable Magnetic Domain Wall Conduit Regulating Nanoparticle Diffusion
Pietro Tierno, Tom H. Johansen, Jose M. Sancho
We demonstrate a general and robust method to confine on a plane strongly diffusing submicrometer particles in water by using size tunable magnetic channels. These virtual conduits…
Generation and imaging of magnetoacoustic waves over millimetre distances
Blai Casals, Nahuel Statuto, Michael Foerster +7
Using hybrid piezoelectric/magnetic systems we have generated large amplitude magnetization waves mediated by magneto-elasticity with up to 25 degrees variation in the magnetizatio…
In silico evidence that protein unfolding is as a precursor of the protein aggregation
Valentino Bianco, Giancarlo Franzese, Ivan Coluzza
We present a computational study on the folding and aggregation of proteins in aqueous environment, as function of its concentration. We show how the increase of the concentration…
Ultrafast relaxation of photoexcited superfluid He nanodroplets
M. Mudrich, A. LaForge, F. Stienkemeier +21
The relaxation of photoexcited nanosystems is a fundamental process of light-matter interaction. Depending on the couplings of the internal degrees of freedom, relaxation can be ul…
Criticality in elastoplastic models of amorphous solids with stress-dependent yielding rates
E. E. Ferrero, E. A. Jagla
We analyze the behavior of different elastoplastic models approaching the yielding transition. We propose two kind of rules for the local yielding events: yielding occurs above the…
Hydrogen bond correlated percolation in a supercooled water monolayer as a hallmark of the critical region
Valentino Bianco, Giancarlo Franzese
Numerical simulations for a number of water models have supported the possibility of a metastable liquid-liquid critical point (LLCP) in the deep super-cooled region. Here we consi…
Tailoring dual reversal modes by helicity control in ferromagnetic nanotubes
H. D. Salinas, J. Restrepo, Òscar Iglesias
We investigate the effects of the competition between exchange () and dipolar () interactions on the magnetization reversal mechanisms of ferromagnetic nanotubes. Using first…
Engineering Transport in Manganites by Tuning Local Non-Stoichiometry in Grain Boundaries
F. Chiabrera, I. Garbayo, L. Lopez-Conesa +11
Interface-dominated materials such as nanocrystalline thin films have emerged as an enthralling class of materials able to engineer functional properties of transition metal oxides…
Competing orders for the colloidal kagome ice: the importance of in-trap motion of the particles
Anne Le Cunuder, Irénée Frérot, Antonio Ortiz-Ambriz +1
Artificial ice systems have been designed to replicate paradigmatic phenomena observed in frustrated spin systems. Here we present a detailed theoretical analysis based on Monte-Ca…
Switching on superferromagnetism
A. Arora, L. C. Phillips, P. Nukala +9
Recent results in electric-field control of magnetism have paved the way for the design of alternative magnetic and spintronic devices with enhanced functionalities and low power c…
Vorticity and quantum turbulence in the merging of superfluid Helium nanodroplets
José María Escartín, Francesco Ancilotto, Manuel Barranco +1
We have studied the merging of two He droplets at zero temperature, caused by their Van der Waals mutual attraction. During the early stages of the merging, density structures…
