Surface wave excitations and backflow effect over dense polymer brushes
Sofia Biagi, Lorenzo Rovigatti, Francesco Sciortino +1
Polymer brushes are increasingly used to tailor surface physicochemistry for various applications such as wetting, adhesion of biological objects, implantable devices, etc. We perf…
Universality classes for unstable crystal growth
Sofia Biagi, Chaouqi Misbah, Paolo Politi
Universality has been a key concept for the classification of equilibrium critical phenomena, allowing associations among different physical processes and models. When dealing with…
Space symmetries draw elasticity theory
Chaouqi Misbah, Sofia Biagi, Paolo Politi
The foundation of continuum elasticity theory is based on two general principles: (i) the force felt by a small volume element from its surrounding acts only through its surface (t…
Coarsening scenarios in unstable crystal growth
Sofia Biagi, Chaouqi Misbah, Paolo Politi
Crystal surfaces may undergo thermodynamical as well kinetic, out-of-equilibrium instabilities. We consider the case of mound and pyramid formation, a common phenomenon in crystal…
