Self-Starting Micromotors in a Bacterial Bath
Luca Angelani, Roberto Di Leonardo, Giancarlo Ruocco
Micromotors pushed by biological entities, like motile bacteria, constitute a fascinating way to convert chemical energy into mechanical work at the micrometer scale. Here we show,…
Phase diagram and complexity of mode-locked lasers: from order to disorder
L. Leuzzi, C. Conti, V. Folli +2
We investigate mode-locking processes in lasers displaying a variable degree of structural randomness, from standard optical cavities to multiple-scattering media. By employing met…
Phase transitions and topology in 2+k XY mean-field models
L. Angelani, G. Ruocco
The thermodynamics and topology of mean-field models with 2+k body interaction terms (generalizing XY model) are derived. Focusing on two particular cases (2+4 and 2+6 body interac…
Mode-locking transitions in nano-structured weakly disordered lasers
L. Angelani, C. Conti, L. Prignano +2
We report on a statistical approach to mode-locking transitions of nano-structured laser cavities characterized by an enhanced density of states. We show that the equations for the…
Light diffusion and localization in 3D nonlinear disordered media
Claudio Conti, Luca Angelani, Giancarlo Ruocco
Using a 3D Finite-Difference Time-Domain parallel code, we report on the linear and nonlinear propagation of light pulses in a disordered assembly of scatterers, whose spatial dist…
