We have performed quantum Monte Carlo simulations measuring the finite size and temperature superfluid response of helium-4 to the linear and rotational motion of the walls of a nanopore. Within the two-fluid model, the portion of the normal liquid dragged along with the boundaries is dependent on the type of motion and the resulting anisotropic superfluid density saturates far below unity at T=0.5 K. The origin of the saturation is uncovered by computing the spatial distribution of superfluidity, with only the core of the nanopore exhibiting any evidence of phase coherence. The superfluid core displays scaling behavior consistent with Luttinger liquid theory, thereby providing an experimental test for the emergence of a one dimensional quantum liquid.
In recent years, the study of heat to work conversion has been re-invigorated by nanotechnology. Steady-state devices do this conversion without any macroscopic moving parts, through steady-state flows of microscopic particles such as electrons, phot
We aim to provide engineers with an introduction to the non-equilibrium Greens function (NEGF) approach, which provides a powerful conceptual tool and a practical analysis method to treat small electronic devices quantum mechanically and atomisticall
Strain engineering offers unique control to manipulate the electronic band structure of two-dimensional materials (2DMs) resulting in an effective and continuous tuning of the physical properties. Ad-hoc straining 2D materials has demonstrated novel
Understanding transport processes in complex nanoscale systems, like ionic conductivities in nanofluidic devices or heat conduction in low dimensional solids, poses the problem of examining fluctuations of currents within nonequilibrium steady states
Wettability is the affinity of a liquid for a solid surface. For energetic reasons, macroscopic drops of liquid are nearly spherical away from interfaces with solids, and any local deformations due to molecular-scale surface interactions are negligib
