Schrödinger's "What is Life?" at 75
Rob Phillips
2019 marked the 75th anniversary of the publication of Erwin Schrödinger's "What is Life?", a short book described by Roger Penrose in his preface to a reprint of this classic as "…
Measurement of FLux Fluctuations in Diffusion in the Small-Numbers Limit
Effrosyni Seitaridou, Mandar M. Inamdar, Rob Phillips +2
Using a microfluidics device filled with a colloidal suspension of microspheres, we test the laws of diffusion in the limit of small particle numbers. Our focus is not just on aver…
Teaching the Principles of Statistical Dynamics
Kingshuk Ghosh, Ken Dill, Mandar M. Inamdar +2
We describe a simple framework for teaching the principles that underlie the dynamical laws of transport: Fick's law of diffusion, Fourier's law of heat flow, the Newtonian viscosi…
Lattice Resistance and Peierls Stress in Finite-size Atomistic Dislocation Simulations
David L. Olmsted, Kedar Y. Hardikar, Rob Phillips
Atomistic computations of the Peierls stress in fcc metals are relatively scarce. By way of contrast, there are many more atomistic computations for bcc metals, as well as mixed di…
Mesoscopic Analysis of Structure and Strength of Dislocation Junctions in FCC Metals
V. B. Shenoy, R. V. Kukta, R. Phillips
We develop a finite element based dislocation dynamics model to simulate the structure and strength of dislocation junctions in FCC crystals. The model is based on anisotropic elas…
Structure and Strength of Dislocation Junctions: An Atomic Level Analysis
D. Rodney, R. Phillips
The quasicontinuum method is used to simulate three-dimensional Lomer-Cottrell junctions both in the absence and in the presence of an applied stress. The simulations show that thi…
