Discounting the Distant Future: What Do Historical Bond Prices Imply about the Long-Term Discount Rate? 

Farmer, J. Doyne; Geanakoplos, John; Richiardi, Matteo G.; Montero Matellanes, M. Mikel; Perelló, Josep, 1974-; Masoliver, Jaume, 1951- (2025-07-14)

We present a thorough empirical study on real interest rates by also including risk aversion through the introduction of the market price of risk. From the viewpoint of complex systems science and its multidisciplinary ...

A new era in brain drug delivery: Integrating multivalency and computational optimisation for blood–brain barrier permeation 

Porro, Giulia Maria; Basile, Marco; Xie, Zhendong; Tuveri, Gianmarco; Battaglia, Giuseppe; Carvalho Ferreira Lopes, Cátia Daniela (2025-07-15)

Efficient drug delivery across the blood–brain barrier (BBB) remains a significant obstacle in treating central nervous system (CNS) disorders. This review provides an in-depth analysis of the structural and molecular ...

Driving Magnetic Domains at the Nanoscale by Interfacial Strain-induced Proximity

We investigate the local nanoscale changes of the magnetic anisotropy of a Ni film subject to an inverse magnetostrictive effect by proximity to a V2O3 layer. Using temperature-dependent photoemission electron microscopy ...

The role of thermal coupling on avalanches in manganites 

Macià Bros, Ferran; Abril, G.; Hernández Ferràs, Joan Manel; Tejada Palacios, Javier (2024-01-19)

We report here a study on the environmental dependence of the occurrence, at low temperature, of ultra-sharp field induced avalanches in phase separated manganites. Despite the high reproducibility of avalanches, it has ...

Effect of stochastic resettings on the counting of level crossings for inertial random processes 

Montero Torralbo, Miquel; Palassini, Matteo; Masoliver, Jaume, 1951- (2024-10-27)

We study the counting of level crossings for inertial random processes exposed to stochastic resetting events. We develop the general approach of stochastic resetting for inertial processes with sudden changes in the state ...

We report here a study on the environmental dependence of the occurrence, at low temperature, of ultra-sharp field induced avalanches in phase separated manganites. Despite the high reproducibility of avalanches, it has ...

Magnetic studies of Fe-Y compositionally modulated thin films 

Badia, Ferran; Ferrater Martorell, Cèsar; Lousa Rodríguez, Arturo; Martínez Perea, Benjamin; Labarta, Amílcar; Tejada Palacios, Javier (2012-02-16)

Compositionally modulated thin films of Y/Fe have been studied by using SQUID magnetometry. Samples were grown by electron‐beam evaporation onto Kapton substrates. In the low applied field regime, the samples show irreversible ...

La llicenciatura en Física: Perfil de la professió. Estudi d’inserció professional 

Llosa, Josep; Dorio Alcaraz, Inmaculada; Ferrater Martorell, Cèsar; Figuera Gazo, Pilar; Grifols, J. A.; Jou i Mirabent, David, 1953-; Martínez, Ma. Celia; Redaño, Àngel; Torrado Fonseca, Mercè; Vives i Santa-Eulàlia, Eduard (2018-02-13)

Les oportunitats professionals dels llicenciats i llicenciades en Física han evolucionat molt en el passat immediat, i també s’ha ampliat els tipus de sectors laborals que enrolen físics. Fa just trenta anys, la major ...

Tunneling magnetoresistance in Co-ZrO2 granular thin films 

Hattink, Bart Jan; García del Muro y Solans, Montserrat; Konstantinović, Zorica; Batlle Gelabert, Xavier; Labarta, Amílcar (2009-12-29)

Granular films composed of well defined nanometric Co particles embedded in an insulating ZrO2 matrix were prepared by pulsed laser depositon in a wide range of Co volume concentrations 0.15 x 0.43. High-resolution ...

Evidence of extended orientational order in amorphous Fe/Sm thin films 

Ruiz, J. M.; Zhang, Xixiang; Ferrater Martorell, Cèsar; Tejada Palacios, Javier (2009-12-29)

Amorphous thin films of Fe/Sm, prepared by evaporation methods, have been magnetically characterized and the results were interpreted in terms of the random magnets theory. The samples behave as 2D and 3D random magnets ...

Einstein (1905): una commemoració imprescindible 

Navarro Veguillas, Luis; Sallent Del Colombo, Emma (2020-07-07)

El febrer de 1902 Albert Einstein (1879-1955) va establir-se a Berna. A l'Oficina Suïssa de Patents d'aquesta ciutat va obtenir el juny del mateix any una còmoda i desitjada feina com a perit tècnic de tercera classe. Poc ...

Single-molecule kinetics and footprinting of DNA bis-intercalation: the paradigmatic case of Thiocoraline

Concavity, response functions and replica energy 

Campa, Alessandro; Casetti, L.; Latella, Ivan; Pérez Madrid, Agustín; Ruffo, S. (2019-07-11)

In nonadditive systems, like small systems or like long-range interacting systems even in the thermodynamic limit, ensemble inequivalence can be related to the occurrence of negative response functions, this in turn being ...

Spatio-temporal organization of correlated local activity within global avalanches in slowly driven interfaces 

Planet Latorre, Ramon; López, Juan M.; Santucci, Stéphane; Ortín, Jordi, 1959- (2019-05-03)

Quasiopen inflation 

García-Bellido, Juan; Garriga Torres, Jaume; Montes, Xavier (2010-05-06)

We show that a large class of two-field models of single-bubble open inflation do not lead to infinite open universes, as it was previously thought, but to an ensemble of very large but finite inflating `islands'. The ...

Abella, David; Franzese, Giancarlo; Hernández Rojas, Javier (2023-03-16)

Many-body interactions in water are known to be important but difficult to treat in atomistic models and often are included only as a correction. Polarizable models treat them explicitly, with long-range many-body potentials, ...
