Dean Phys. Rev. E 108, 054125 (2023) – Published 16 November 2023 In single-file diffusion, particles in one dimension cannot cross each other due to a hard-core repulsion. For such a system with a periodically varying potential and diffusivity, the authors show that it has the same long-time behavior as Brownian particles in a spatially homogeneous system characterized by a known effective diffusion constant.     Editors' Suggestion Geometric frustration of hard-disk packings on cones Jessica H. Sun, Abigail Plummer, Grace H. Zhang, David R. Nelson, and Vinothan N. Manoharan Phys. Rev. E 108, 054608 (2023) – Published 21 November 2023 This work models slow reaction-limited growth of crystals on a conical surface. Frustration arises from closure constraints when the crystal wraps around the cone. Defects form a seam running along the axial direction of the cone; a disordered region forms near the tip. The authors study how various parameters affect details.     Featured in Physics Impact craters formed by spinning granular projectiles Douglas D. Carvalho, Nicolao C. Lima, and Erick M. Franklin Phys. Rev. E 108, 054904 (2023) – Published 22 November 2023 Synopsis:"Spin" Leaves Its Mark on Some Meteorite Craters Numerical simulations reveal that an impact crater's shape can depend on the impactor's spin and its degree of cohesion.     Editors' Suggestion Letter Universal to nonuniversal transition of the statistics of rare events during the spread of random walks R. K. Singh and Stanislav Burov Phys. Rev. E 108, L052102 (2023) – Published 2 November 2023 In a large class of systems governed by rare event statistics, the probability density function for particle position shows a universal exponential decay. Using the continuous-time random walk method, this paper shows that there is a critical transition between this universal behavior and a more specific, slower decay.       American Physical Society: 1 Physics Ellipse, College Park, MD 20740 ©2023 American Physical Society | All rights reserved   You are receiving this email because you are subscribed to Table of Content alerts.
