Granular gases: dynamics and collective effects

Alain Barrat, Emmanuel Trizac, Matthieu H. Ernst

We present a biased review of some of the most "spectacular" effects appearing in the dynamics of granular gases where the dissipative nature of the collisions leads to a rich phen…

Atom-molecule theory of broad Feshbach resonances

G. M. Falco, H. T. C. Stoof

We derive the atom-molecule theory for an atomic gas near a broad Feshbach resonance, where the energy dependence of the atom-molecule coupling becomes crucial for understanding ex…

Feshbach resonances in an optical lattice

D. B. M. Dickerscheid, U. Al Khawaja, D. van Oosten +1

We present the theory for ultracold atomic gases in an optical lattice near a Feshbach resonance. In the single-band approximation the theory describes atoms and molecules which ca…

On the equation of state of a dense columnar liquid crystal

H. H. Wensink

An accurate description of a columnar liquid crystal of hard disks at high packing fractions is presented using an improved free-volume theory. It is shown that the orientational e…

Magnetically Stabilized Nematic Order I: Three-Dimensional Bipartite Optical Lattices

F. Zhou, M. Snoek, J. Wiemer +1

We study magnetically stabilized nematic order for spin-one bosons in optical lattices. We show that the Zeeman field-driven quantum transitions between non-nematic Mott states and…

Replica Density Functional Study of One-Dimensional Hard Core Fluids in Porous Media

Hendrik Reich, Matthias Schmidt

A binary quenched-annealed hard core mixture is considered in one dimension in order to model fluid adsorbates in narrow channels filled with a random matrix. Two different density…
