Exploring colourful holographic superconductors (2009)
Journal Article
Peeters, K., Powell, J., & Zamaklar, M. (2009). Exploring colourful holographic superconductors. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2009(09), Article 101. https://doi.org/10.1088/1126-6708/2009/09/101

We explore a class of holographic superconductors built using non-abelian condensates on probe branes in conformal and non-conformal backgrounds. These are shown to exhibit behaviour of the specific heat which resembles that of heavy fermion compound... Read More about Exploring colourful holographic superconductors.

A Thermodynamic Model of Microtubule Assembly and Disassembly (2009)
Journal Article
Piette, B., Liu, J., Peeters, K., Smertenko, A., Hawkins, T., Deeks, M., …Hussey, P. (2009). A Thermodynamic Model of Microtubule Assembly and Disassembly. PLoS ONE, 4(8), Article e6378. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0006378

Microtubules are self-assembling polymers whose dynamics are essential for the normal function of cellular processes including chromosome separation and cytokinesis. Therefore understanding what factors effect microtubule growth is fundamental to our... Read More about A Thermodynamic Model of Microtubule Assembly and Disassembly.

Temperature versus acceleration: The Unruh effect for holographic models (2009)
Journal Article
Paredes, A., Peeters, K., & Zamaklar, M. (2009). Temperature versus acceleration: The Unruh effect for holographic models. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2009(04), Article 015. https://doi.org/10.1088/1126-6708/2009/04/015

We analyse the effect of velocity and acceleration on the temperature felt by particles and strings in backgrounds relevant in holographic models. First, we compare accelerated strings and strings at finite temperature. We find that for fixed Unruh t... Read More about Temperature versus acceleration: The Unruh effect for holographic models.

Group theory of icosahedral virus capsid vibrations: a top-down approach (2009)
Journal Article
Peeters, K., & Taormina, A. (2009). Group theory of icosahedral virus capsid vibrations: a top-down approach. Journal of Theoretical Biology, 256(4), 607-624. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtbi.2008.10.019

We explore the use of a top-down approach to analyse the dynamics of icosahedral virus capsids and complement the information obtained from bottom-up studies of viral vibrations available in the literature. A normal mode analysis based on protein ass... Read More about Group theory of icosahedral virus capsid vibrations: a top-down approach.
