    • Dissipative structures induced by photoisomerization in a dye-doped nematic liquid crystal layer 
      Andrade Silva, Ignacio Javier; Bortolozzo, Umberto; Castillo Pinto, Camila; Clerc Gavilán, Marcel; González Cortés, Gregorio; Residori, S.; Wilson, Mario (Royal Society Publishing, 2018)
      Order–disorder phase transitions driven by temperature or light in soft matter materials exhibit complex dissipative structures. Here, we investigate the spatio-temporal phenomena induced by light in a dye-doped nematic ...
    • Front propagation into an unstable state in a forced medium: Experiments and theory 
      Alfaro Bittner, K.; Castillo-Pinto, C.; Clerc Gavilán, Marcel; González Cortés, Gregorio; Rojas, R.; Wilson, M. (American Physical Society, 2018)
      Spatially forced systems can exhibit coexistence and a rich interface dynamics between manipulable states. We show here how the propagation speed of a front into an unstable state can be modified through periodic space ...
    • Nonvariational mechanism of front propagation: theory and experiments 
      Álvarez Socorro, A. J.; Clerc Gavilán, Marcel; González Cortés, G.; Wilson, M. (American Physical Society, 2017)
      Multistable systems exhibit a rich front dynamics between equilibria. In one-dimensional scalar gradient systems, the spread of the fronts is proportional to the energy difference between equilibria. Fronts spreading p ...
