Surface tension and a self-consistent theory of soft composite solids with elastic inclusions
Francesco Mancarella, John S. Wettlaufer
The importance of surface tension effects is being recognized in the context of soft composite solids, where it is found to significantly affect the mechanical properties, such as…
Surface tension and the Mori-Tanaka theory of non-dilute soft composite solids
Francesco Mancarella, Robert W. Style, John S. Wettlaufer
Eshelby's theory is the foundation of composite mechanics, allowing calculation of the effective elastic moduli of composites from a knowledge of their microstructure. However it i…
Interfacial tension and a three-phase generalized self-consistent theory of non-dilute soft composite solids
Francesco Mancarella, Robert W. Style, John S. Wettlaufer
In the dilute limit Eshelby's inclusion theory captures the behavior of a wide range of systems and properties. However, because Eshelby's approach neglects interfacial stress, it…
Superfluid flow above the critical velocity
A. Paris-Mandoki, J. Shearring, F. Mancarella +3
Superfluidity and superconductivity have been studied widely since the last century in many different contexts ranging from nuclear matter to atomic quantum gases. The rigidity of…
Josephson coupling between superconducting islands on single and bilayer graphene
Francesco Mancarella, Jonas Fransson, Alexander Balatsky
We study the Josephson coupling of superconducting (SC) islands through the surface of single-layer (SLG) and bilayer (BLG) graphene, as a function of distance between the grains,…
Energy-pressure relation for low-dimensional gases
Francesco Mancarella, Giuseppe Mussardo, Andrea Trombettoni
A particularly simple relation of proportionality between internal energy and pressure holds for scale invariant thermodynamic systems, including classical and quantum Bose and Fer…
Angular momentum blockade in nanoscale high-T_c superconducting grains
Francesco Mancarella, Alexander V. Balatsky, Mats Wallin +1
We discuss the angular momentum blockade in small d-wave superconducting grains in an external field. We find that abrupt changes in angular momentum state of the condensate, angul…
Statistical Interparticle Potential of an Ideal Gas of Non-Abelian Anyons
Francesco Mancarella, Andrea Trombettoni, Giuseppe Mussardo
We determine and study the statistical interparticle potential of an ideal system of non-Abelian Chern-Simons (NACS) particles, comparing our results with the corresponding results…
Statistical Mechanics of an Ideal Gas of Non-Abelian Anyons
Francesco Mancarella, Andrea Trombettoni, Giuseppe Mussardo
We study the thermodynamical properties of an ideal gas of non-Abelian Chern-Simons particles and we compute the second virial coefficient, considering the effect of general soft-c…
Abelian link invariants and homology
Enore Guadagnini, Francesco Mancarella
We consider the link invariants defined by the quantum Chern-Simons field theory with compact gauge group U(1) in a closed oriented 3-manifold M. The relation of the abelian link i…
