Shear Banding of Soft Glassy Materials in Large Amplitude Oscillatory Shear (2016)
Journal Article
Radhakrishnan, R., & Fielding, S. M. (2016). Shear Banding of Soft Glassy Materials in Large Amplitude Oscillatory Shear. Physical Review Letters, 117(18), Article 188001. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.117.188001

We study shear banding in soft glassy materials subject to a large amplitude oscillatory shear flow (LAOS). By numerical simulations of the widely used soft glassy rheology model, supplemented by more general physical arguments, we demonstrate strong...

Non-volatile electronic devices based on magnetoelectric multiferroics have triggered new possibilities of outperforming conventional devices for applications. However, ferroelectric reliability issues, such as imprint, retention and fatigue, must be... Read More about Permanent ferroelectric retention of BiFeO3 mesocrystal.

Flavon-induced connections between lepton flavour mixing and charged lepton flavour violation processes (2016)
Journal Article
Pascoli, S., & Zhou, Y. (2016). Flavon-induced connections between lepton flavour mixing and charged lepton flavour violation processes. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016(10), Article 145. https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep10%282016%29145

In leptonic flavour models with discrete flavour symmetries, couplings between flavons and leptons can result in special flavour structures after they gain vacuum expectation values. At the same time, they can also contribute to the other lepton-flav... Read More about Flavon-induced connections between lepton flavour mixing and charged lepton flavour violation processes.

Size evolution of normal and compact galaxies in the EAGLE simulation (2016)
Journal Article
Furlong, M., Bower, R., Crain, R., Schaye, J., Theuns, T., Trayford, J., …Helly, J. (2017). Size evolution of normal and compact galaxies in the EAGLE simulation. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 465(1), 722-738. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw2740

We present the evolution of galaxy sizes, from redshift 2 to 0, for actively star forming and passive galaxies in the cosmological hydrodynamical 1003 cMpc3 simulation of the EAGLE project. We find that the sizes increase with stellar mass, but that... Read More about Size evolution of normal and compact galaxies in the EAGLE simulation.

Cooperative eigenmodes and scattering in one-dimensional atomic arrays (2016)
Journal Article
Bettles, R. J., Gardiner, S. A., & Adams, C. S. (2016). Cooperative eigenmodes and scattering in one-dimensional atomic arrays. Physical Review A, 94(4), Article 043844. https://doi.org/10.1103/physreva.94.043844

Collective coupling between dipoles can dramatically modify the optical response of a medium. Such effects depend strongly on the geometry of the medium and the polarization of the light. Using a classical coupled dipole model, here we investigate th... Read More about Cooperative eigenmodes and scattering in one-dimensional atomic arrays.

The standard model of elementary particle physics has provided a consistent description of Nature's fundamental constituents and their interactions. Its predictions have been tested and confirmed by numerous experiments. The Large Hadron Collider's r...

Development of ZnO nanowire based CdTe thin film solar cells (2016)
Journal Article
Major, J. D., Tena-Zaera, R., Azaceta, E., Bowen, L., & Durose, K. (2017). Development of ZnO nanowire based CdTe thin film solar cells. Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, 160, 107-115. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.solmat.2016.10.024

This work reports on the development of CdTe thin film solar cells grown on ZnO nanowire arrays. The focus was placed on utilising ZnO nanowire arrays as a replacement to the conventional ZnO thin film buffer layer, thereby requiring minimal alterati...

CdTe thin-film solar cells are now the main industrially established alternative to silicon-based photovoltaics. These cells remain reliant on the so-called chloride activation step in order to achieve high conversion efficiencies. Here, by compariso...

The dark nemesis of galaxy formation: why hot haloes trigger black hole growth and bring star formation to an end (2016)
Journal Article

The dark nemesis of galaxy formation: why hot haloes trigger black hole growth and bring star formation to an end. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 465(1), 32-44. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw2735

Galaxies fall into two clearly distinct types: ‘blue-sequence’ galaxies which are rapidly forming young stars, and ‘red-sequence’ galaxies in which star formation has almost completely ceased. Most galaxies more massive than 3 × 1010 M⊙ follow the re... Read More about The dark nemesis of galaxy formation: why hot haloes trigger black hole growth and bring star formation to an end.

The metal enrichment of passive galaxies in cosmological simulations of galaxy formation (2016)
Journal Article

Massive early-type galaxies have higher metallicities and higher ratios of α elements to iron than their less massive counterparts. Reproducing these correlations has long been a problem for hierarchical galaxy formation theory, both in semi-analytic...
