Coronal loop physical parameters from the analysis of multiple observed transverse oscillations
The analysis of quickly damped transverse oscillations of solar coronal loops using magneto-hydrodynamic seismology allow us to infer physical parameters that are difficult to measure otherwise. Under the assumption that such damped oscillations are due to the resonant conversion of global modes into Alfven oscillation...

Scaling of spin Hall angle in 3d, 4d and 5d metals from Y3Fe5O12/metal spin pumping
Pure spin currents generated by spin pumping in ferromagnet/nonmagnet (FM/NM) bilayers produce inverse spin Hall effect (ISHE) voltages in the NM, from which spin pumping and transport characteristics of the NM can be extracted.

Evidence for Wave Heating of the Quiet Sun Corona
We have measured the energy and dissipation of Alfvenic waves in the quiet Sun. A magnetic field was used to infer the location and orientation of the magnetic field lines along which the waves are expected to travel. The waves were measured using spectral lines to infer the wave amplitude. The waves cause a non-therma...

Non-Markovian dynamics of open quantum systems without rotating wave approximation
We study the non-Markovian dynamics of a damped oscillator coupled with a reservoir. We present exact formulas for the oscillator's evolution directly from the BCH formula by series expansion with neither Markovian nor rotating wave approximation (RWA). Based on these, we show the existence of the non-Markovian feature...

Collective Dynamics of Interacting Particles in Unsteady Flows
We use the Fokker-Planck equation and its moment equations to study the collective behavior of interacting particles in unsteady one-dimensional flows. Particles interact according to a long-range attractive and a short-range repulsive potential field known as Morse potential. We assume Stokesian drag force between par...

Correlated decay of triplet excitations in the Shastry-Sutherland compound SrCu$_2$(BO$_3$)$_2$
The temperature dependence of the gapped triplet excitations (triplons) in the 2D Shastry-Sutherland quantum magnet SrCu$_2$(BO$_3$)$_2$ is studied by means of inelastic neutron scattering. The excitation amplitude rapidly decreases as a function of temperature while the integrated spectral weight can be explained by a...

Enhanced dissipation and inviscid damping in the inviscid limit of the Navier-Stokes equations near the 2D Couette flow
In this work we study the long time, inviscid limit of the 2D Navier-Stokes equations near the periodic Couette flow, and in particular, we confirm at the nonlinear level the qualitative behavior predicted by Kelvin's 1887 linear analysis. At high Reynolds number Re, we prove that the solution behaves qualitatively lik...

Dynamical symmetries and crossovers in a three-spin system with collective dissipation
We consider the non-equilibrium dynamics of a simple system consisting of interacting spin-$1/2$ particles subjected to a collective damping. The model is close to situations that can be engineered in hybrid electro/opto-mechanical settings. Making use of large-deviation theory, we find a Gallavotti-Cohen symmetry in t...

Self-similar solutions of the one-dimensional Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation
We consider the one-dimensional Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) equation, a model describing the dynamics for the spin in ferromagnetic materials.

Angular dependence of spin-orbit spin transfer torques
In ferromagnet/heavy metal bilayers, an in-plane current gives rise to spin-orbit spin transfer torque which is usually decomposed into field-like and damping-like torques. For two-dimensional free-electron and tight-binding models with Rashba spin-orbit coupling, the field-like torque acquires nontrivial dependence on...

Non-linear collisionless damping of Weibel turbulence in relativistic blast waves
The Weibel/filamentation instability is known to play a key role in the physics of weakly magnetized collisionless shock waves. From the point of view of high energy astrophysics, this instability also plays a crucial role because its development in the shock precursor populates the downstream with a small-scale magnet...

The Fate of Scattered Planets
As gas giant planets evolve, they may scatter other planets far from their original orbits to produce hot Jupiters or rogue planets that are not gravitationally bound to any star. Here, we consider planets cast out to large orbital distances on eccentric, bound orbits through a gaseous disk. With simple numerical model...

Unified Theory of Inertial Granular Flows and Non-Brownian Suspensions
Rheological properties of dense flows of hard particles are singular as one approaches the jamming threshold where flow ceases, both for aerial granular flows dominated by inertia, and for over-damped suspensions. Concomitantly, the lengthscale characterizing velocity correlations appears to diverge at jamming. Here we...

Monami as an oscillatory hydrodynamic instability in a submerged sea grass bed
The onset of monami ~-- the synchronous waving of sea grass beds driven by a steady flow -- is modeled as a linear instability of the flow. Unlike previous works, our model considers the drag exerted by the grass in establishing the steady flow profile, and in damping out perturbations to it. We find two distinct modes...
