Ising Models of Cooperativity in Muscle Contraction
Elaheh Saadat, Matthieu Caruel, Stefano Gherardini +6
Regulation of contraction in striated muscle is controlled by a dual mechanism involving both thin filaments containing actin and thick filaments containing myosin. The thin filame…
Free-energy REconstruction from Stable Clusters (FRESC): A new method to evaluate nucleation barriers from simulation
Adrian Llamas-Jaramillo, Ivan Latella, David Reguera
We present a simulation technique to evaluate the most important quantity for nucleation processes: the nucleation barrier, i.e. the free energy of formation of the critical cluste…
Feynman paradox induced by vacuum and thermal fluctuations
Svend-Age Biehs, Ivan Latella
A charged particle initially at rest in an external magnetic field starts to rotate when the magnetic field is switched off. This is a variant of the Feynman disc paradox, where th…
On persistent energy currents at equilibrium in non-reciprocal systems
Svend-Age Biehs, Ivan Latella
We investigate the properties of the mean Poynting vector in global thermal equilibrium, which can be non-zero in non-reciprocal electromagnetic systems. Using dyadic Green's funct…
Radiative Corbino effect in nonreciprocal many-body systems
Ivan Latella, Philippe Ben-Abdallah
When a magnetic field is applied in the perpendicular direction to a metallic disk under the action of a radial bias voltage, a tangential electric current superimposes to the radi…
