RAPID COMMUNICATION

Channeling of particles and associated anomalous transport in a two-dimensional complex plasma crystal

Cheng-Ran Du, Vladimir Nosenko, Sergey Zhdanov, Hubertus M. Thomas, and Gregor E. Morfill

Phys. Rev. E 89, 021101(R) (2014) - Published 19 February, 2014

The authors experimentally study the interaction of two-dimensional complexplasma crystals with extra charged particles moving above the main layer, and findthat these extra particles can have a significant effect on experimental results.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Thermal excitations of warped membranes

Andrej Košmrlj and David R. Nelson

Phys. Rev. E 89, 022126 (2014) - Published 21 February, 2014

The authors study the elastic properties of warped membranes at finite temperature including the effects of thermal fluctuations. This work reveals an anomalous length-scale dependence of effective elastic constants and assesses the relative importance of quenched random warping and thermal fluctuations.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Dense periodic packings of tori

Ruggero Gabbrielli, Yang Jiao, and Salvatore Torquato

Phys. Rev. E 89, 022133 (2014) - Published 24 February, 2014

This work shows analytically that carefully chosen packings of tori can achieve a density not only higher than that of spheres but also higher than the densest known packings of ellipsoids.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Active crystals and their stability

Andreas M. Menzel, Takao Ohta, and Hartmut Löwen

Phys. Rev. E 89, 022301 (2014) - Published 6 February, 2014

A phase-field crystal model predicts that a crystal composed of self-propelled particles can be forced to perform a collectively ordered migration as a single traveling object so that duringmigration the single-crystalline texture together with the globally ordered collective motion ispreserved even on large length scales.

Crystallization in organic semiconductor thin films: A diffuse-interface approach

Alta Fang and Mikko Haataja

Phys. Rev. E 89, 022407 (2014) - Published 18 February, 2014

A phase-field model reveals a wide variety of microstructures that are possible in thin-film growth driven by a combination of kinetic and thermodynamics effects. This work provides useful insight into crystallization morphologies in organic semiconductor thin films.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Transitions between patterned states in vegetation models for semiarid ecosystems

Karna Gowda, Hermann Riecke, and Mary Silber

Phys. Rev. E 89, 022701 (2014) - Published 3 February, 2014

A study of existing models of vegetation pattern formation in semiarid ecosystems sheds light on thereliability of any pattern or sequence as a precursor of vegetation collapse.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Optimal estimation of diffusion coefficients from single-particle trajectories

Christian L. Vestergaard, Paul C. Blainey, and Henrik Flyvbjerg

Phys. Rev. E 89, 022726 (2014) - Published 28 February, 2014

What is the best way to determine the diffusion coefficient from the trajectory of a single particle? This work points out that it is not the mean square deviation of values at different times, since these values are severely correlated. The authors introduce, for this purpose, an unbiased estimator that operates at the information limit.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Coexistence of phases and the observability of random graphs

Antoine Allard, Laurent Hébert-Dufresne, Jean-Gabriel Young, and Louis J. Dubé

Phys. Rev. E 89, 022801 (2014) - Published 6 February, 2014

The authors study analytically the characterization of nonobservable giant components, and the conditions under which observable and nonobservable giant components coexist on random graphs.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Regularized thin-fiber model for nanofiber formation by centrifugal spinning

S. M. Taghavi and R. G. Larson

Phys. Rev. E 89, 023011 (2014) - Published 14 February, 2014

Inspired by recently developed nanofiber-forming technology, this work introduces a model to determine the steady fiber trajectory, velocity, and diameter for a viscous thin fiber emerging from a nozzle through a small spinning orifice.
