We show that the difference in the Seebeck coefficients between two voltage probes produces an additional electric signal in the local resistance measurement of the submicron-sized junction. This is because the temperature increase at the junction induced by the Joule heating produces unnegligible Seebeck voltage in a…

We have analyzed magnetic-field-dependent small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) data of soft magnetic two-phase nanocomposite ferromagnets in terms of a recent micromagnetic theory for the magnetic SANS cross section [Honecker and Michels, Phys. Rev. B 87, 224426 (2013)]. The approach yields a value for the average ex…

It is shown numerically that a rotating inviscid liquid ring has a temporally oscillating state, where the radius of the ring varies periodically because of the competition between the centrifugal force and the centripetal force caused by the surface tension. Stability analysis reveals that an enlarging or shrinking r…

The computer-based design of PPIs (protein-protein interactions) is a challenging problem because large desolvation and entropic penalties must be overcome by the creation of favourable hydrophobic and polar contacts at the target interface. Indeed, many computationally designed interactions fail to form when tested i…
