Thermally activated processes in polymer dynamics
Lorenzo Bongini, Roberto Livi, Alessandro Torcini +1
Jumps between neighboring minima in the energy landscape of both homopolymeric and heteropolymeric chains are numerically investigated by determining the average escape time from d…
Doppler Effect of Nonlinear Waves and Superspirals in Oscillatory Media
Lutz Brusch, Alessandro Torcini, Markus Baer
Nonlinear waves emitted from a moving source are studied. A meandering spiral in a reaction-diffusion medium provides an example, where waves originate from a source exhibiting a b…
From multiplicative noise to directed percolation in wetting transitions
F. Ginelli, V. Ahlers, R. Livi +4
A simple one-dimensional microscopic model of the depinning transition of an interface from an attractive hard wall is introduced and investigated. Upon varying a control parameter…
