Journal ArticleDOI
First-passage times and distances along critical curves
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a model for anomalous transport in inhomogeneous environments, such as fractured rocks, in which particles move only along pre-existing self-similar curves (cracks).
Journal ArticleDOI
Casimir-Polder force between anisotropic nanoparticles and gently curved surfaces
TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived a general short distance expansion of the interaction potential in terms of their dipolar polarizabilities for nano-spheroids made of SiO 2 and gold.
Journal Article
Apex Exponents for Polymer-Probe Interactions
TL;DR: It is found that when the polymer can move through the attachment point, it typically slides to one end; the apex exponents quantify the entropic barrier to threading the eye of the probe.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transverse Fluctuations of Polyelectrolytes
Yacov Kantor,Mehran Kardar +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the ground state of an N-monomer charged polymer, in the absence of screening, is stretched, with nonextensive energy growing as N lnN.
Journal ArticleDOI
Probability distributions for directed polymers in random media with correlated noise.
S. Chu,Mehran Kardar +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the Tracy-Widom distribution of directed polymers in random media with uncorrelated noise in d = 1+1 dimensions satisfies the Tracy Widom distributions.
