Continuum models of collective cell migration
Shiladitya Banerjee, M. Cristina Marchetti
Collective cell migration plays a central role in tissue development, morphogenesis, wound repair and cancer progression. With the growing realization that physical forces mediate…
Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics of Self-propelled Hard Rods
Aparna Baskaran, M. Cristina Marchetti
Using tools of nonequilibirum mechanics, we study a model of self-propelled hard rods on a substrate in two dimensions to quantify the interplay of self-propulsion and excluded-vol…
Driven vortices in confined geometry: the Corbino disk
M. Cristina Marchetti
The fabrication of artificial pinning structures allows a new generation of experiments which can probe the properties of vortex arrays by forcing them to flow in confined geometri…
Glassy Motion of Elastic Manifolds
Valerii M. Vinokur, M. Cristina Marchetti, Lee-Wen Chen
We discuss the low-temperature dynamics of an elastic manifold driven through a random medium. For driving forces well below the depinning force, the medium advances via ther…
Peak effect in twinned superconductors
A. I. Larkin, M. C. Marchetti, V. M. Vinokur
A sharp maximum in the critical current as a function of temperature just below the melting point of the Abrikosov flux lattice has recently been observed in both low and hig…
Twin-Boundary Pinning of Superconducting Vortex Arrays
M. C. Marchetti, V. M. Vinokur
We discuss the low-temperature dynamics of magnetic flux lines in high-temperature superconductors in the presence of a family of parallel twin planes that contain the axis. A…
