The concept of tortuosity is used to characterize the structure of porous media, to estimate
their electrical and hydraulic conductivity, and to study the travel time and length for tracer …

This article reviews the physics of high-temperature superconductors from the point of view
of the doping of a Mott insulator. The basic electronic structure of cuprates is reviewed …

Over the past two decades percolation theory has been used to explain and model a wide
variety of phenomena that are of industrial and scientific importance. Examples include …

This monograph presents, for the first time, a unified and comprehensive introduction to
some of the basic transport properties of porous media, such as electrical and hydraulic …

Tortuosity (T) is a parameter describing an average elongation of fluid streamlines in a
porous medium as compared to free flow. In this paper several methods of calculating this …

We describe the most important developments in the application of three theoretical tools to
modeling of the morphology of porous media and flow and transport processes in them. One …

First principles methods based on periodic boundary conditions are used extensively by
materials theorists. However, applying these methods to systems with confined electronic …

Allosteric transition, defined as conformational changes induced by ligand binding, is one of
the fundamental properties of proteins. Allostery has been observed and characterized in …

In the stripe-ordered state of a strongly correlated two-dimensional electronic system, under
a set of special circumstances, the superconducting condensate, like the magnetic order …

Antiferromagnetism and superconductivity are both fundamental and common states of
matter. In many strongly correlated systems, including the high-T c cuprates, the heavy …
