Driven probe under harmonic confinement in a colloidal bath
Vincent Démery, Étienne Fodor
Colloids held by optical or magnetic tweezers have been used to explore the local rheological properties of a complex medium and to extract work from fluctuations with some appropr…
Mechanical factors affecting the mobility of membrane proteins
Vincent Démery, David Lacoste
The mobility of membrane proteins controls many biological functions. The application of the model of Saffman and Delbrück to the diffusion of membrane proteins does not account fo…
Geometry underlies the mechanical stiffening and softening of an indented floating film
Monica M. Ripp, Vincent Démery, Teng Zhang +1
A basic paradigm underlying the Hookean mechanics of amorphous, isotropic solids is that small deformations are proportional to the magnitude of external forces. However, slender b…
Memory effects in the ion conductor RbTiO
Rémi Federicci, Stéphane Holé, Vincent Démery +1
Recent studies on Rb2Ti2O5 crystals have demonstrated remarkable electrical properties. This material exhibits colossal electrical polarization between 200 K and 330 K. In the pres…
Pinning by rare defects and effective mobility for elastic interfaces in high dimensions
Xiangyu Cao, Vincent Démery, Alberto Rosso
The existence of a depinning transition for a high dimensional interface in a weakly disordered medium is controversial. Following Larkin arguments and a perturbative expansion, on…
