The piston dispersive shock wave problem

Author(s)
Mark Hoefer, Mark J. Ablowitz, Peter Engels
The one-dimensional piston shock problem is a classical result of shock wave theory. In this work, the analogous dispersive shock wave (DSW) problem for a...

Non-Brownian Microrheology of a Fluid Gel Interface

Author(s)
Erik K. Hobbie, Sheng Lin-Gibson, S K. Kumar
We use stroboscopic video microscopy to study the motion of a sheared fluid-gel interface. External mechanical noise plays a role analogous to temperature, but...

Counting near-infrared single-photons with 95% efficiency

Author(s)
Adriana E. Lita, Aaron J. Miller, Sae Woo Nam
Single-photon detectors operating at visible and near-infrared wavelengths with high detection efficiency and low noise are a requirement for many quantum...

Defining Units in the Quantum SI

Author(s)
Peter J. Mohr
Possible changes to the International System of Units (SI) are being discussed, including a proposal to define the units by specifying the values of a set of...

Contact Induced Crystallinity for High Performance Soluble Acene-Based TFTs

Author(s)
David J. Gundlach, James Royer, Behrang Hamadani, Lucile C. Teague, Andrew J. Moad, Oana Jurchescu, Oleg A. Kirillov, Lee J. Richter, James G. Kushmerick, Curt A. Richter, Sungkyu Park, Thomas Jackson, Sankar Subramanian, John E. Anthony
Organic electronics present a tremendous opportunity to significantly impact the functionality and pervasiveness of large-area electronics. However, the lack of...

Preparation of Nanoparticles by Continuous-Flow Microfluidics

Author(s)
Andreas Jahn, Joseph E. Reiner, Wyatt N. Vreeland, Don DeVoe, Laurie E. Locascio, Michael Gaitan
We review a variety of micro- and nanoparticle formulations produced with microfluidic methods. A diverse variety of approaches to generate micro-scale and nano...

Pseudo-Fermionization of 1-D Bosons in Optical Lattices

Author(s)
G Pupillo, A M. Rey, Carl J. Williams, Charles W. Clark
We present a model that generalizes the Bose-Fermi mapping for strongly correlated 1D bosons in an optical lattice, to cases in which the average number of...
