A Striped Holographic Superconductor
Raphael Flauger, Enrico Pajer, Stefanos Papanikolaou
We study inhomogeneous solutions of a 3+1-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-scalar theory. Our results provide a holographic model of superconductivity in the presence of a charge densi…
A minimal model of plasma membrane heterogeneity requires coupling cortical actin to criticality
Benjamin B. Machta, Stefanos Papanikolaou, James P. Sethna +1
We present a minimal model of plasma membrane heterogeneity that combines criticality with connectivity to cortical cytoskeleton. Our model is motivated by recent observations of m…
Dielectric breakdown and avalanches at non-equilibrium metal-insulator transitions
Ashivni Shekhawat, Stefanos Papanikolaou, Stefano Zapperi +1
Motivated by recent experiments on the finite temperature Mott transition in VO2 films, we propose a classical coarse-grained dielectric breakdown model where each degree of freedo…
Electronic States of Graphene Grain Boundaries
Andrej Mesaros, Stefanos Papanikolaou, C. F. J. Flipse +2
We introduce a model for amorphous grain boundaries in graphene, and find that stable structures can exist along the boundary that are responsible for local density of states enhan…
Straining the Identity of Majorana Fermions
Andrej Mesaros, Stefanos Papanikolaou, Jan Zaanen
We propose an experimental setup of an interferometer for the observation of neutral Majorana fermions on topological insulator - superconductor - ferromagnet junctions. We show th…
Bending crystals: Emergence of fractal dislocation structures
Yong S. Chen, Woosong Choi, Stefanos Papanikolaou +1
We provide a minimal continuum model for mesoscale plasticity, explaining the cellular dislocation structures observed in deformed crystals. Our dislocation density tensor evolves…
