Genuinely two-dimensional robust crosscurrents---which flow against the natural direction of heat flux--- have been missing since discovery their one-dimensional counterpart. We provide a setup to realize them on cubic three-dimensional (3D) lattice hosting Hofstadter model coupled two baths with different temperatures. show that these currents exhibit dissipative robustness; they are stable pr...

We study the surface phase diagram of the three-dimensional kinetic Ising model below the equilibrium critical point subjected to a periodically oscillating magnetic field. Changing the surface interaction strength as well as the period of the external field, we obtain a nonequilibrium surface phase diagram that in parts strongly resembles the corresponding equilibrium phase diagram, with an or...

We investigate the adsorption dynamics of colloidal particles to a liquid/liquid interface. Such an analysis is important in the formation of Pickering emulsions. Using a free energy formulation that has been used for adsorption of surfactants, we obtain the time evolution of the surface coverage and dynamic surface tension. We estimate the characteristic time for adsorption, and show that it c...

metal nanoshells consists of a dielectric core surrounded by a thin noble metal shell, possess unique optical properties that render nanoshells attractive for use in different technologies. this paper reports a facile method for growth of small gold nanoparticles on the functionalized surface of larger silica nanoparticles. mono-dispersed silica particles and gold nanoparticles were prepared by...

A cartilage growth mixture (CGM) model is linearized for infinitesimal elastic and growth strains. Parametric studies for equilibrium and nonequilibrium boundary-value problems representing the in vitro growth of cylindrical cartilage constructs are solved. The results show that the CGM model is capable of describing the main biomechanical features of cartilage growth. The solutions to the equi...

We present a computational study of the dynamic behavior of a Ziff-Gulari-Barshad model of CO oxidation with CO desorption on a catalytic surface. Our results provide further evidence that below a critical desorption rate the model exhibits a nonequilibrium, first-order phase transition between low and high CO coverage phases. Our kinetic Monte Carlo simulations indicate that the transition pro...

The QCD phase diagram may feature a critical end point at a temperature T and baryon chemical potential μ which is accessible in heavy ion collisions. The universal long wavelength fluctuations which develop near this Ising critical point result in experimental signatures which can be used to find the critical point. The magnitude of the observed effects depends on how large the correlation len...

Evaluating the optical properties of matter under action ultrafast light is crucial in modeling laser–surface interaction and interpreting laser processing experiments. We report optimized coefficients for Drude-Lorentz model describing permittivity several transition metals (Cr, W, Ti, Fe, Au, Ni) electron-phonon nonequilibrium, with electrons heated up to 30,000 K lattice staying cold at 300 ...

Two-dimensional, nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations have been applied to study the structure of thin films grown on single-crystal Lennard-Jones substrates. The principal microstructural features to develop within these films are single vacancies and small voids which tend to be slightly elongated and to be aligned in the growth direction. Both the void volume and the mean surface ro...
