A spatial interpretation of emerging superconductivity in lightly doped cuprates
Guy Deutscher, Pierre-Gilles de Gennes
The formation of domains comprising alternating 'hole rich' and 'hole poor' ladders recently observed by Scanning Tunneling Microscopy by Kohsaka et al., on lightly hole doped cupr…
Damping of acoustic waves in dilute polymer solutions
Yoav Tsori, Pierre-Gilles de Gennes
The shear viscosity eta_s(w) of dilute polymer solutions (of flexible coils) has been classically measured and interpreted in terms of the Zimm modes. We point out that the longitu…
Self Trapping of a Single Bacterium in its Own Chemoattractant
Yoav Tsori, Pierre-Gilles de Gennes
Bacteria (e.g. E. Coli) are very sensitive to certain chemoattractants (e.g. asparate) which they themselves produce. This leads to chemical instabilities in a uniform population.…
Frustrated Rotations in Nematic Monolayers
Y. Tsori, P. -G. de Gennes
Tabe and Yokoyama found recently that the optical axis in a chiral monolayer of a ferronematic rotates when water evaporates from the bath: the chiral molecules act as propellers.…
Interfacial layering in a three-component polymer system
A. Aradian, F. Saulnier, E. Raphael +1
We study theoretically the temporal evolution and the spatial structure of the interface between two polymer melts involving three different species (A, A* and B). The first melt i…
Phase transitions of nematic rubbers
Pierre-Gilles de Gennes, Ko Okumura
Single crystal nematic elastomers undergo a transition from a strongly ordered phase N to an "isotropic" phase I. We show that: (a) samples produced under tension by the Finkelmann…
