Droplet spreading and pinning on heterogeneous substrates
Mikko J. Alava, Martin Dube
The contact angle of a fluid droplet on an heterogeneous surface is analysed using the statistical dynamics of the spreading contact line. The statistical properties of the final d…
Fluctuations in fluid invasion into disordered media
Martin Rost, Lasse Laurson, Martin Dube +1
Interfaces moving in a disordered medium exhibit stochastic velocity fluctuations obeying universal scaling relations related to the presence or absence of conservation laws. For f…
Decoherence in a N-qubit solid-state quantum computer
B. Ischi, M. Hilke, M. Dube
We investigate the decoherence process for a quantum register composed of N qubits coupled to an environment. We consider an environment composed of one common phonon bath and seve…
Imbibition in Disordered Media
Mikko Alava, Martin Dubé, Martin Rost
The physics of liquids in porous media gives rise to many interesting phenomena, including imbibition where a viscous fluid displaces a less viscous one. Here we discuss the theore…
Thermal effects on atomic friction
Yi Sang, Martin Dube, Martin Grant
We model friction acting on the tip of an atomic force microscope as it is dragged across a surface at non-zero temperatures. We find that stick-slip motion occurs and that the ave…
Comment on: `Pipe Network Model for Scaling of Dynamic Interfaces in Porous Media'
M. Dube, M. Rost, K. R. Elder +3
We argue that a proposed exponent identity [Phys. Rev. Lett 85, 1238 (2000)] for interface roughening in spontaneous imbibition is wrong. It rests on the assumption that the fluctu…
