Phase diagram of two-lane driven diffusive systems
M. R. Evans, Y. Kafri, K. E. P. Sugden +1
We consider a large class of two-lane driven diffusive systems in contact with reservoirs at their boundaries and develop a stability analysis as a method to derive the phase diagr…
Non-equilibrium phase transitions in tubulation by molecular motors
J. Tailleur, M. R. Evans, Y. Kafri
The extraction of membrane tubes by molecular motors is known to play an important role for the transport properties of eukaryotic cells. By studying a generic class of models for…
Dynamics of DNA Melting
Amir Bar, Yariv Kafri, David Mukamel
The dynamics of loops at the DNA denaturation transition is studied. A scaling argument is used to evaluate the asymptotic behavior of the autocorrelation function of the state of…
Loop Dynamics in DNA Denaturation
A. Bar, Y. Kafri, D. Mukamel
The dynamics of a loop in DNA molecules at the denaturation transition is studied by scaling arguments and numerical simulations. The autocorrelation function of the state of compl…
DNA unzipping and the unbinding of directed polymers in a random media
Yariv Kafri, Anatoli Polkovnikov
We consider the unbinding of a directed polymer in a random media from a wall in dimensions and a simple one-dimensional model for DNA unzipping. Using the replica trick we…
Unzipping flux lines from extended defects in type-II superconductors
Yariv Kafri, David R. Nelson, Anatoli Polkovnikov
With magnetic force microscopy in mind, we study the unbinding transition of individual flux lines from extended defects like columnar pins and twin planes in type II superconducto…
