Material dependence of Casimir forces: gradient expansion beyond proximity
G. Bimonte, T. Emig, M. Kardar
A widely used method for estimating Casimir interactions [H. B. G. Casimir, Proc. K. Ned. Akad. Wet. 51, 793 (1948)] between gently curved material surfaces at short distances is t…
Casimir forces beyond the proximity approximation
G. Bimonte, T. Emig, R. L. Jaffe +1
The proximity force approximation (PFA) relates the interaction between closely spaced, smoothly curved objects to the force between parallel plates. Precision experiments on Casim…
Symmetry considerations and development of pinwheels in visual maps
Ha Youn Lee, Mehdi Yahyanejad, Mehran Kardar
Neurons in the visual cortex respond best to rod-like stimuli of given orientation. While the preferred orientation varies continuously across most of the cortex, there are promine…
Correlation functions near Modulated and Rough Surfaces
Andreas Hanke, Mehran Kardar
In a system with long-ranged correlations, the behavior of correlation functions is sensitive to the presence of a boundary. We show that surface deformations strongly modify this…
Thermodynamic Fingerprints of Disorder in Flux Line Lattices and other Glassy Mesoscopic Systems
Thorsten Emig, Mehran Kardar
We examine probability distributions for thermodynamic quantities in finite-sized random systems close to criticality. Guided by available exact results, a general ansatz is propos…
Phase ordering and roughening on growing films
Barbara Drossel, Mehran Kardar
We study the interplay between surface roughening and phase separation during the growth of binary films. Already in 1+1 dimension, we find a variety of different scaling behaviors…
