Current fluctuations in boundary-driven quantum spin chains (2018)
Journal Article
Carollo, F., Garrahan, J. P., & Lesanovsky, I. (2018). Current fluctuations in boundary-driven quantum spin chains. Physical Review B, 98(9), 1-9. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevb.98.094301

Boundary-driven quantum spin chains are paradigmatic nonequilibrium systems featuring the presence of particle currents. In general, it may not be possible to distinguish an incoherent type of particle transport from a truly quantum coherent one thro...

Shear bands and the evolving microstructure in a drying colloidal film studied with scanning μ-SAXS (2018)
Journal Article
Yang, B., Smith, N. D., Johannes, A., Burghammer, M., & Smith, M. I. (2018). Shear bands and the evolving microstructure in a drying colloidal film studied with scanning μ-SAXS. Scientific Reports, 8, Article 12979. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-31405-6

Shear localisation in thin bands is an important process involved in the plastic deformation of materials subject to stress. This process is often sensitive to the sample microstructure (amorphous / crystalline). Here we show using the scanning μ-SAX...

Galaxy Cluster Mass Reconstruction Project – IV. Understanding the effects of imperfect membership on cluster mass estimation (2018)
Journal Article
Wojtak, R., Old, L., Mamon, G., Pearce, F., de Carvalho, R., Sifón, C., …Tempel, E. (2018). Galaxy Cluster Mass Reconstruction Project – IV. Understanding the effects of imperfect membership on cluster mass estimation. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 481(1), 324-340. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/sty2257

The primary difficulty in measuring dynamical masses of galaxy clusters from galaxy data lies in the separation between true cluster members from interloping galaxies along the line of sight. We study the impact of membership contamination and incomp... Read More about Galaxy Cluster Mass Reconstruction Project – IV.
