We contend that the arguments provided in Phys. Rev. Lett. 130, 016001 (2023), purporting to show the absence of off-diagonal long-range order in hcp $^4$He dislocation cores are misleading and incorrect. In particular, the one-body density…
We numerically studied the vortex dynamics at zero temperature in superfluid $^4$He confined between two parallel rough solid boundaries, one of which oscillates in a shear mode. This study was motivated by the experimental work by Barquist…
Recently, it has been argued by Kuklov et al., that unusual features associated with the superflow-through-solid effect observed in solid He4 can be explained by unique properties of dilute distribution of superfluid edge dislocations. We…
We show that a reference frame transformation could turn a topologically trivial Dirac fermion into a topologically nontrivial Weyl semimetal. This is elucidated by the transformation of the Dirac equation into the equation for Weyl…
The process of finding activated transitions in localized spin systems with continuous degrees of freedom is developed based on a magnetic variant of the Activation-Relaxation Technique (mART). In addition to the description of the method…
We develop a mathematical model for adsorption based on averaging the flow around, and diffusion inside, adsorbent particles in a column. The model involves three coupled partial differential equations for the contaminant concentration both…
Recent studies of non-Hermitian periodic lattices unveiled the non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE), in which the bulk modes under the periodic boundary conditions (PBC) become skin modes under open boundary conditions (OBC). The NHSE is a…
In this study, we investigate the many-body non-Hermitian skin effect at finite temperatures in the thermodynamic limit. Our findings indicate an interesting correspondence between the non-Hermitian skin effect and a linear electric…
The B phase of superfluid 3He can be cooled into the pure superfluid regime, where the thermal quasiparticle density is negligible. The bulk superfluid is surrounded by a quantum well at the boundaries of the container, confining a sea of…
We derive semiclassical transport equations for a trapped atomic Fermi gas in the BCS phase at temperatures between zero and the superfluid transition temperature. These equations interpolate between the two well-known limiting cases of…
The influence of attractive boron impurities, embedded on a graphene sheet, on the phase diagrams of $^4$He and H$_2$ adsorbed on top was studied using the diffusion Monte Carlo method. The doping of graphene was made by distributing the…
Botimer and Taborek (2016) measured the mass flux of superfluid $^4$He through a capillary into an evacuated chamber for various temperatures and pressures of the reservoir chamber. They found a sharp transition from low flux at low…
A double fountain pressure model is used to analyze the recent measurements of Yu and Luo (arXiv2211.02236v4) of superfluid $^4$He flow between two chambers held at different temperatures via two superleaks and an intervening third chamber…
This paper is prepared for a special memorial issue of J. Low Temp. Phys. dedicated to memory of Alexander Andreev. I discuss his ideas devoted to the fundamental problem in modern physics -- the origin and validity of the superselection…
In Gaussian approximation, we investigate the marginal electromagnetic fluctuation in models of charged relativistic bosonic superfluids in three and two spatial dimensions at zero temperature. The electromagnetism is modeled by the…
Superfluid helium-4 (He II) is a widely adopted coolant in scientific and engineering applications owing to its exceptional heat transfer capabilities. However, boiling can spontaneously occur on a heating surface in He II when the heat…
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measures electron removal energies, providing direct access to core and valence electron binding energies, hence probing the electronic structure. In this work, we benchmark for the first time the ab…
Processes of coalescence and fragmentation are used to understand the time-evolution of the mass distribution of various systems and may result in a steady state or in stable deterministic or stochastic cycles. Motivated by applications in…
It is known that there is also a topological phase in the SSH coupled-spring system with the fixed-end boundary conditions. When this is the case, there would exist edge modes on its boundaries. In contrast, if the system satisfies the…
