We develop a kinetic model for polariton condensation, in which the field dynamics of collective excitations is treated self-consistently during the condensation kinetics. This model allows to account properly for the quantum fluctuations of the condensate ...
The manipulation of living biological cells in microfluidic channels by a combination of negative dielectrophoretic barriers and pressure-driven flows is widely employed in lab-on-a-chip systems. However, electric fields in conducting media induce Joule he ...
Using Grazing-incidence small-angle scattering (GISAXS) technique we investigated the surface morphology of polymer films spin-coated on different silicon substrates. As substrates we used either technologically smooth silicon wafers or the same silicon wa ...
The thermal position fluctuations of a single micron-sized sphere immersed in a fluid were recorded by optical trapping interferometry with nanometer spatial and microsecond temporal resolution. We find, in accord with the theory of Brownian motion includi ...
A method for simultaneously thermostatting an atomistic region and absorbing energetic pulses impinging on the atormstic/continuum interface from the atomistic region is developed to operate within the framework of the coupled atomistic/discrete dislocatio ...
Granular matter submitted to external perturbations exhibits various behaviors depending on the vibration intensity: when strongly vibrated, the granular system has a fluid aspect, whereas under low intensity perturbations, it is in a quasi-solid phase. In ...
Atomic force microscopy has become potent tool for investigating interand intramolecular interactions. Single molecule force spectroscopy on supramolecular guest-host-complexes reveal information about the depth of the binding pocket and thermal off-rates. ...
Water diversion for hydroelectric power generation impacts the temperature of mountain streams. Such changes are estimated by using a coupled one-dimensional dead-zone heat balance model. In very steep river sections, the dissipation of kinetic energy is t ...
The past few years we have witnessed a tremendous surge of interest in so-called array-based miniaturised analytical systems due to their value as extremely powerful tools for high-throughput sequence analysis, drug discovery and development, and diagnosti ...
Tracers released into the pelagic, stratified center of lakes, show that interior mixing - based on both mode-related internal shear and higherfrequency internal waves â is extremely weak. After horizontal spreading, the tracers "feel" the local bottom ...
