Disorder-induced broadening of quantum momentum distribution

Vili Heinonen, Jani Lukkarinen

We study the long-time behavior of a non-interacting two-dimensional quantum gas in a weak random potential with long-range correlations. Any peaked initial momentum distribution w…

Emergent universal statistics in nonequilibrium systems with dynamical scale selection

Vili Heinonen, Abel J. Abraham, Jonasz Słomka +3

Pattern-forming nonequilibrium systems are ubiquitous in nature, from driven quantum matter and biological life forms to atmospheric and interstellar gases. Identifying universal a…

Linearly forced fluid flow on a rotating sphere

Rohit Supekar, Vili Heinonen, Keaton J. Burns +1

We investigate generalized Navier-Stokes (GNS) equations that couple nonlinear advection with a generic linear instability. This analytically tractable minimal model for fluid flow…

Phase field crystal model for heterostructures

Petri Hirvonen, Vili Heinonen, Haikuan Dong +3

Atomically thin 2-dimensional heterostructures are a promising, novel class of materials with groundbreaking properties. The possiblity of choosing the many constituent components…

Quantum hydrodynamics for supersolid crystals and quasicrystals

Vili Heinonen, Keaton J. Burns, Jörn Dunkel

Supersolids are theoretically predicted quantum states that break the continuous rotational and translational symmetries of liquids while preserving superfluid transport properties…

Long wavelength properties of phase field crystal models with second order dynamics

V. Heinonen, C. V. Achim, T. Ala-Nissila

The phase field crystal (PFC) approach extends the notion of phase field models by describing the topology of the microscopic structure of a crystalline material. One of the conseq…

Phase-field-crystal models and mechanical equilibrium

V. Heinonen, C. V. Achim, K. R. Elder +2

Phase field crystal (PFC) models constitute a field theoretical approach to solidification, melting and related phenomena at atomic length and diffusive time scales. One of the adv…
