BasovPump-probe nano-optical experiments were used to study the light-induced insulator to metal transition (IMT) in thin films of vanadium dioxide (VO2), a prototypical correlated electron system. We show that inhomogeneous...

Sheetz, Jacques Prost, and Jean-François RupprechtCell adhesion receptors are transmembrane proteins that bind cells to their environment. These proteins typically cluster into disk-shaped or linear structures. Here, we show that such clustering patterns...

Author(s): Tomasz Wasak, Matteo Sighinolfi, Johannes Lang, Francesco Piazza, and Alessio RecatiDespite the paradigmatic nature of the Fermi-polaron model, the theoretical description of its nonlinear dynamics poses challenges. Here, we apply a quantum kinetic theory of driven polarons to recent experiments with ultracold atoms, where Rabi oscillations...

Author(s): I. S. Winter and T. FrolovIn this Letter we derive conditions that predict the existence of two-phase periodic-pattern grain boundary structures that are stable against coarsening. While previous research has established that elastic effects can lead to phase pattern formation on crystal surfaces, the possibility of stable g… [Phys. Rev....

RoweA gallium interstitial defect is thought to be responsible for the spectacular spin-dependent recombination in GaAs1−xNx dilute nitrides. Current understanding associates this defect with at least two in-gap levels corresponding...
