Atomic-molecular effects in geophysical hydrodynamics

Hydrodynamics of torsional probes for atomic force microscopy in liquids

Macroscopic liquid-state molecular hydrodynamics

Experimental evidence and theoretical modeling suggest that piles of confined, high-restitution grains, subject to low-amplitude vibration, can serve as experimentally-accessible analogs for studying a range of liquid-state molecular hydrodynamic processes. Experiments expose single-grain and multiple-grain, collective dynamic features that mimic those either observed or predicted in molecular-...

Atomic and Molecular Effects in the Vuv Spectra of Solids

-The VUV spectra of solids are often dominated by7 atomic or molecular effects, which clearly manifest themselves in the gross features of the spectra and the fine structllre at inner shell excjtation thresholds. Evideng for the influence of atomic and molecular matrlx elements, multiplet-splitting and correlation is presented. Special emphasis is given to the direct experimental verification b...

Hydrodynamics of Normal Atomic Gases with Spin-orbit Coupling

Successful realization of spin-orbit coupling in atomic gases by the NIST scheme opens the prospect of studying the effects of spin-orbit coupling on many-body physics in an unprecedentedly controllable way. Here we derive the linearized hydrodynamic equations for the normal atomic gases of the spin-orbit coupling by the NIST scheme with zero detuning. We show that the hydrodynamics of the syst...

“Fundamental” Physics: Molecular Dynamics vs. Hydrodynamics

Condensed matter physics concerns the “study of matter at everyday length and energy scales.” [12] The physics of such systems is by and large decoupled from the more “fundamental” physics at small lengths and higher energies. The nature of this decoupling is of great interest and brings with it the possibility of understanding aspects of how certain phenomena can be emergent. I believe there a...
