Large-scale epitaxy of two-dimensional van der Waals room-temperature ferromagnet Fe5GeTe2

Mário Ribeiro, Giulio Gentile, Alain Marty +12

In recent years, two-dimensional van der Waals materials have emerged as an important platform for the observation of long-range ferromagnetic order in atomically thin layers. Alth…

Solvent and salt effect on Lithium ion solvation and contact ion pair formation in organic carbonates: a quantum chemical perspective

Veerapandian Ponnuchamy, Stefano Mossa, Ioannis Skarmoutsos

Quantum chemical calculations have been employed to investigate the solvation of lithium cations in ethylene carbonate/propylene carbonate and propylene carbonate/dimethyl carbonat…

Elastic heterogeneity, vibrational states, and thermal conductivity across an amorphisation transition

Hideyuki Mizuno, Stefano Mossa, Jean-Louis Barrat

Disordered solids exhibit unusual properties of their vibrational states and thermal conductivities. Recent progresses have well established the concept of "elastic heterogeneity",…

Measuring Spatial Distribution of Local Elastic Modulus in Glasses

Hideyuki Mizuno, Stefano Mossa, Jean-Louis Barrat

Glasses exhibit spatially inhomogeneous elastic properties, which can be investigated by measuring their elastic moduli at a local scale. Various methods to evaluate the local elas…

Non-conservative forces and effective temperatures in active polymers

Davide Loi, Stefano Mossa, Leticia F. Cugliandolo

We follow the dynamics of an ensemble of interacting self-propelled semi-flexible polymers in contact with a thermal bath. We characterize structure and dynamics of the passive sys…

Exact curvilinear diffusion coefficients in the repton model

Arnaud Buhot

The Rubinstein-Duke or repton model is one of the simplest lattice model of reptation for the diffusion of a polymer in a gel or a melt. Recently, a slightly modified model with ha…

Brush Effects on DNA Chips: Thermodynamics, Kinetics and Design Guidlines

A. Halperin, A. Buhot, E. B. Zhulina

In biology experiments, oligonucleotide microarrays are contacted with a solution of long nucleic acid (NA) targets. The hybridized probes thus carry long tails. When the surface d…

Cluster algorithm for non-additive hard-core mixtures

Arnaud Buhot

In this paper, we present a cluster algorithm for the numerical simulations of non-additive hard-core mixtures. This algorithm allows one to simulate and equilibrate systems with a…

The Effects of Stacking on the Configurations and Elasticity of Single Stranded Nucleic Acids

A. Buhot, A. Halperin

Stacking interactions in single stranded nucleic acids give rise to configurations of an annealed rod-coil multiblock copolymer. Theoretical analysis identifies the resulting signa…

Kovacs effect and fluctuation-dissipation relations in 1D kinetically constrained models

Arnaud Buhot

Strong and fragile glass relaxation behaviours are obtained simply changing the constraints of the kinetically constrained Ising chain from symmetric to purely asymmetric. We study…

Analytical estimate of effective charges at saturation in Poisson-Boltzmann cell models

Emmanuel Trizac, Miguel Aubouy, Lyderic Bocquet

We propose a simple approximation scheme to compute the effective charge of highly charged colloids (spherical or cylindrical with infinite length). Within non-linear Poisson-Boltz…

Concentration Dependence of the Flory Chi Parameter within Two-State Models

V. A. Baulin, A. Halperin

The Flory chi parameter is typically assumed to depend only on the temperature, T. Experimental results often require the replacement of this chi(T) by chieff, that depends also on…

A simple approach for charge renormalization of highly charged macro-ions

Emmanuel Trizac, Lyderic Bocquet, Miguel Aubouy

We revisit the popular notion of effective or renormalized charge, which is a concept of central importance in the field of highly charged colloidal or polyelectrolyte solutions. W…

On the Extension Behavior of Helicogenic Polypeptides

Arnaud Buhot, Avraham Halperin

The force laws governing the extension behavior of homopolypeptides are obtained from a phenomenological free energy capable of describing the helix-coil transition. Just above the…

Inwardly curved polymer brushes : Concave is not like Convex

Manoel Manghi, Miguel Aubouy, Cyprien Gay +1

Inwardly curved polymer brushes are present in cylindrical and spherical micelles or in membranes tubes and vesicles decorated with anchored polymers, and influence their stability…

On the Helix-Coil transition in grafted chains

A. Buhot, A. Halperin

The helix-coil transition is modified by grafting to a surface. This modification is studied for short peptides capable of forming -helices. Three factors are involved: (i) the…

The Extension of Rod-Coil Multiblock Copolymers and the Effect of the Helix-Coil Transition

A. Buhot, A. Halperin

The extension elasticity of rod-coil mutliblock copolymers is analyzed for two experimentally accessible situations. In the quenched case, when the architecture is fixed by the syn…
