  • Random RNA under tension
    Europhysics Letters (EPL), 2007
    Co-Authors: François David, Christian Hagendorf, Kay Joerg Wiese
    Abstract:

    The Laessig-Wiese (LW) Field theory For the Freezing transition oF random RNA secondary structures is generalized to the situation oF an external Force. We Find a second-order phase transition at a critical applied Force F = F_c. For F F_c, the extension L as a Function oF pulling Force F scales as (F-F_c)^(1/gamma-1). The exponent gamma is calculated in an epsilon-expansion: At 1-loop order gamma = epsilon/2 = 1/2, equivalent to the disorder-Free case. 2-loop results yielding gamma = 0.6 are brieFly mentioned. Using a locking argument, we speculate that this result extends to the strong-disorder phase.

We Find a second-order phase transition at a critical applied Force F = F_c. For F < F_c Forces are irrelevant.

  • Evidence oF mechanically activated processes in slow granular Flows.
    Physical review letters, 2011
    Co-Authors: K. A. Reddy, Yoel Forterre, O Pouliquen
    Abstract:

    We study how a shear band in a granular medium dramatically changes the mechanical behavior oF the material Further in the non sheared region. To this end, we carry out a microrheology experiment, where a constant Force $F$ is applied to a small rod immersed outside the shear band. In the absence oF a shear band, a critical Force ${F}_{c}$ is necessary to move the intruder. When a shear band exists, the intruder moves even For a Force $F$ less than the critical Force ${F}_{c}$. We systematically study how the creep velocity ${V}_{\mathrm{creep}}$ oF the rod varies with ${F}_{c}\ensuremath{-}F$ and with the distance to the shear band, and show that the behavior can be described by an Eyring-like activated process.
