Towards a simple, comprehensive model of regular earthquakes and slow slip events, part II: two-dimensional model
Naum I. Gershenzon, Thomas Skinner
Although our existing one-dimensional (1D) model provides a successful quantitative description of rupture events, a 1D description is somewhat limited. We therefore derive a two-d…
Towards a simple, comprehensive model of regular earthquakes and slow slip events, part I: one-dimensional model
Naum I. Gershenzon, Cong Zhou, Thomas Skinner
We have developed a model that describes the major characteristics of a rupture, ranging from regular earthquakes (EQs) to slow slip events (SSEs), including episodic tremor and sl…
A Complete Solution of the Bloch Equation
Thomas E. Skinner
The Bloch equation is the fundamental dynamical model applicable to arbitrary two-level systems. Analytical solutions to date are incomplete for a number of reasons that motivate f…
Dynamic heterogeneities and non-Gaussian behavior in two-dimensional randomly confined colloidal fluids
Simon K. Schnyder, Thomas O. E. Skinner, Alice L. Thorneywork +3
A binary mixture of super-paramagnetic colloidal particles is confined between glass plates such that the large particles become fixed and provide a two-dimensional disordered matr…
How does dissipation affect the transition from static to dynamic macroscopic friction?
Naum I. Gershenzon, Gust Bambakidis, Thomas Skinner
Description of the transitional process from a static to a dynamic frictional regime is a fundamental problem of modern physics. Previously we developed a model based on the well-k…
Further perspective on the theory of heteronuclear decoupling
Thomas E. Skinner
An exact general theory of heteronuclear decoupling is presented for spin-1/2 IS systems. RF irradiation applied to the I spins decouples the S spins by reversing the sign of antip…
Solute transport predicts scaling of surface reaction rates in porous media: Applications to silicate weathering
Allen G. Hunt, Thomas E. Skinner, Behzad Ghanbarian
We apply our theory of conservative solute transport, based on concepts from percolation theory, directly and without modification to reactive solute transport. This theory has pre…
An exact mapping between the states of arbitrary N-level quantum systems and the positions of classical coupled oscillators
Thomas E. Skinner
The dynamics of states representing arbitrary N-level quantum systems, including dissipative systems, can be modelled exactly by the dynamics of classical coupled oscillators. Ther…
Localization dynamics of fluids in random confinement
Thomas O. E. Skinner, Simon K. Schnyder, Dirk G. A. L. Aarts +2
The dynamics of two-dimensional fluids confined within a random matrix of obstacles is investigated using both colloidal model experiments and molecular dynamics simulations. By va…
The Fantastic Four: A plug 'n' play set of optimal control pulses for enhancing nmr spectroscopy
Manoj Nimbalkar, Burkhard Luy, Thomas E. Skinner +5
We present highly robust, optimal control-based shaped pulses designed to replace all 90° and 180° hard pulses in a given pulse sequence for improved performance. Special attention…
Optimal control design of band-selective excitation pulses that accommodate relaxation and RF inhomogeneity
Thomas E. Skinner, Naum I. Gershenzon, Manoj Nimbalkar +1
Existing optimal control protocols for mitigating the effects of relaxation and/or RF inhomogeneity on broadband pulse performance are extended to the more difficult problem of des…
Broadband 180 degree universal rotation pulses for NMR spectroscopy designed by optimal control
Thomas E. Skinner, Naum I. Gershenzon, Manoj Nimbalkar +3
Broadband inversion pulses that rotate all magnetization components 180 degrees about a given fixed axis are necessary for refocusing and mixing in high-resolution NMR spectroscopy…
Design and application of robust rf pulses for toroid cavity NMR spectroscopy
Thomas E. Skinner, Michael Braun, Klaus Woelk +2
We present robust radio frequency (rf) pulses that tolerate a factor of six inhomogeneity in the B1 field, significantly enhancing the potential of toroid cavity resonators for NMR…
