Exciton-mediated optical control of liquid-solid friction

Interfacial friction in nanofluidic systems can arise from fluctuation-induced coupling between liquid charge fluctuations and the internal excitations of the confining solid. Here, we develop a microscopic theory of exciton-mediated solid-liquid friction based on the coupling between optically generated excitons and charge fluctuations in water. We distinguish between static excitons, localized by disorder or functionalization, and dynamic excitons, which interact with water through polarization fluctuations. In both cases, we derive analytical formulas for the excitonic friction, which is experimentally tunable and can significantly reduce the slip length and thereby the hydraulic permeability of nanochannels. Applying our framework to carbon nanotubes, we quantitatively reproduce the recent measurements of Kistwal et al., showing a reduction of nanotube diffusion under optical excitation, without fitting parameters. More broadly, our results establish excitons as a mechanism to optically control nanofluidic transport and suggest that excitonic photoluminescence could provide an optical probe of flow velocity inside nanochannels.

On particle collisions in the vicinity of the charged black holes

The process of particle collision in the vicinity of black holes is known to generate unbounded energies in the center-of-mass frame (the Banados-Silk-West (BSW) effect) under specific conditions. We consider this process in the charged black hole metrics, namely, the Reissner-Nordstrom (RN) and Majumdar-Papapetrou (MP) metrics. We consider the energy extraction from Bardeen regular black hole due to BSW effect. Like in RN case, we show that there is no restriction on energy extraction, but for real charged particles this effect is negligible. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for this process. The conditions for the BSW effect in RN and MP metrics are shown to be identical, which is explained by the asymptotic equivalence of the two metrics near the horizons. Energy extraction in the RN metric is discussed. It is shown that if two real particles collide while falling onto a black hole, they are extremely unlikely to generate an ultra-massive particle. For the case of head-on collisions, we derive an upper bound on extracted mass, which depends on the lapse function of the metric at the point of collision.
