Interaction between colloidal particles on an oil-water interface in dilute and dense phases (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Parolini, L., Law, A. D., Maestro, A., Buzza, D. M. A., & Cicuta, P. Interaction between colloidal particles on an oil-water interface in dilute and dense phases

The interaction between micron-sized charged colloidal particles at polar/non-polar liquid
interfaces remains surprisingly poorly understood for a relatively simple physical chemistry
system. By measuring the pair correlation function g(r) for differ... Read More about Interaction between colloidal particles on an oil-water interface in dilute and dense phases.

Journal Article
Moyano Loyola, G. R., Flynn, C., Hurley, J. R., & Gibson, B. K. (2015). Tracking Cluster Debris (TraCD) – I. Dissolution of clusters and searching for the solar cradle. Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 449(4), 4443-4457. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stv550

The capability to reconstruct dissolved stellar systems in dynamical and chemical space is a key factor in improving our understanding of the evolution of the Milky Way. Here we concentrate on the dynamical aspect and given that a significant portion... Read More about Tracking Cluster Debris (TraCD) – I. Dissolution of clusters and searching for the solar cradle.

Collective behaviour is a characteristic feature in many-body systems, important for developments in fields such as magnetism, superconductivity, photonics and electronics. Recently, there has been increasing interest in the optically nonlinear respo... Read More about Sensitivity of nonlinear photoionization to resonance substructure in collective excitation.

Polarization and mutual coupling effects in aluminum nanoantenna arrays (2015)
Journal Article
Dorh, N., Stokes, J., & Cryan, M. J. (2015). Polarization and mutual coupling effects in aluminum nanoantenna arrays. Journal of the Optical Society of America B, 32(4), 721-729. https://doi.org/10.1364/JOSAB.32.000721

This paper uses finite-difference time-domain modeling to study the impact of varying the polarization of the point source(s) on both a single aluminum dipole nanoantenna and a 2×2 array. Starting with the single dipole nanoantenna, this paper demons... Read More about Polarization and mutual coupling effects in aluminum nanoantenna arrays.

Accurate and convergent T-matrix calculations of light scattering by spheroids (2015)
Journal Article
Somerville, W., Auguié, B., & Le Ru, E. (2015). Accurate and convergent T-matrix calculations of light scattering by spheroids. Journal of quantitative spectroscopy & radiative transfer, 160, 29-35. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jqsrt.2015.03.020

The convergence behavior of the T-matrix method as calculated by the extended boundary condition method (EBCM) is studied, in the case of light scattering by spheroidal particles. By making use of a new formulation of the EBCM integrals specifically... Read More about Accurate and convergent T-matrix calculations of light scattering by spheroids.

The IGIMF and other IMFs in dSphs: the case of Sagittarius (2015)
Journal Article

We have studied the effects of various initial mass functions (IMFs) on the chemical evolution of the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy (Sgr). In particular, we tested the effects of the integrated galactic initial mass function (IGIMF) on various predicted a... Read More about The IGIMF and other IMFs in dSphs: the case of Sagittarius.

The nature and role of the gold-krypton interactions in small neutral gold clusters (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 American Chemical Society. We investigate the nature and role of krypton embedding in small neutral gold clusters. For some of these clusters, we observe a particular site-dependent character of the Kr binding that does not completely follow t...

Simple and accurate modelling of the gravitational potential produced by thick and thin exponential discs (2015)
Journal Article
Smith, R., Flynn, C., Candlish, G. N., Fellhauer, M., & Gibson, B. K. (2015). Simple and accurate modelling of the gravitational potential produced by thick and thin exponential discs. Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 448(3), 2934-2940. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stv228

We present accurate models of the gravitational potential produced by a radially exponential disc mass distribution. The models are produced by combining three separate Miyamoto–Nagai discs. Such models have been used previously to model the disc of... Read More about Simple and accurate modelling of the gravitational potential produced by thick and thin exponential discs.

Letters, 800(2), L32. https://doi.org/10.1088/2041-8205/800/2/l32

We study the kinematics of a local sample of stars, located within a cylinder of 500 pc radius centered on the Sun, in the RAVE data set. We find clear asymmetries in the v R v∞ velocity distributions of thin and thick disk stars: there are more sta... Read More about The imprints of the Galactic Bar on the Thick Disk with RAVE.
