Journal ArticleDOI
Stability of the dense radial morphology in diffusive pattern formation.
TL;DR: This work proposes the first model to explain the stability of the dense radial structure, which develops in many diffusive pattern-forming systems and arises from the resistivity of the growth channels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phase separation during film growth
TL;DR: In this paper, a diffusion equation describing phase separation during co-deposition of a binary alloy is derived, and solved in the limit of dominant surface diffusion, which yields results similar to bulk spinodal decomposition, except that long, and possibly all, wavelength are stabilized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geometrical models of interface evolution. III. Theory of dendritic growth
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors construct a theory of velocity selection and tip stability for dendritic growth in the local evolution model, and they show that the growth rate of Dendritic patterns is determined by a nonlinear solvability condition for a translating finger.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantum walks: The first detected passage time problem.
TL;DR: This work examines a closed system, i.e., a ring, and reveals the intricate influence of the sampling time τ on the statistics of detection, discussing the quantum Zeno effect, half dark states, revivals, and optimal detection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temporal fluctuation scaling in populations and communities.

TL;DR: It is shown that the exponent generally depends on the length of the time series, and its value reflects the combined effect of many underlying mechanisms, which raises questions regarding the usefulness of Taylor's law for understanding ecological processes.
