The very long range nature of capillary interactions in liquid films
R. Di Leonardo, F. Saglimbeni, G. Ruocco
Micron-sized objects confined in thin liquid films interact through forces mediated by the deformed liquid-air interface. This capillary interactions provide a powerful driving mec…
Dynamically correlated regions and configurational entropy in supercooled liquids
Simone Capaccioli, Giancarlo Ruocco, Francesco Zamponi
When a liquid is cooled below its melting temperature, if crystallization is avoided, it forms a glass. This phenomenon, called glass transition, is characterized by a marked incre…
Light-matter interaction in Mie nanolasers
C. Conti, A. Fratalocchi, G. Ruocco
By deriving a three dimensional vector set of Maxwell-Bloch equations, we report on an ab-initio investigation of a spherical Mie nanolaser. Parallel numerical simulations predict…
Shear banding phenomena in a Laponite suspension
F. Ianni, R. Di Leonardo, S. Gentilini +1
Shear localization in an aqueous clay suspension of Laponite is investigated through dynamic light scattering, which provides access both to the dynamics of the system (homodyne mo…
Shocks in nonlocal media
Neda Ghofraniha, Claudio Conti, Giancarlo Ruocco +1
We investigate the formation of collisionless shocks along the spatial profile of a gaussian laser beam propagating in nonlocal nonlinear media. For defocusing nonlinearity the sho…
Acoustic attenuation in glasses and its relation with the boson peak
W. Schirmacher, G. Ruocco, T. Scopigno
A theory for the vibrational dynamics in disordered solids [W. Schirmacher, Europhys. Lett. {\bf 73}, 892 (2006)], based on the random spatial variation of the shear modulus, has b…
