Auger scattering channels are of fundamental importance to describe and understand the non-equilibrium charge carrier dynamics in graphene. While impact excitation increases the number of carriers in the conduction band and has been…
In the present course, an overview is presented of the fundamentals of continuum-polaron physics, which provide the basis of the analysis of polaron effects in ionic crystals and polar semiconductors. These Lecture Notes deal with "large",…
The planar phase of superfluid $^3$He has Dirac points in momentum space and the analog of Dirac monopole in the real space. Here we discuss the combined effect of Dirac point and Dirac monopole. It is shown that in the presence of the…
The latest news from $^3$He Universe are presented together with the extended map of the Universe.
Euler solved the problem of the collapse of tall thin columns under unexpectedly small loads in 1744. The analogous problem of the collapse of circular elastic rings or tubes under external pressure was mathematically intractable and only…
We report the results of theoretical and experimental investigation of spin diffusion in the normal phase of liquid $^3$He confined in planar aerogel: a material consisting of nanostrands which are almost parallel to a specific plane and…
We recently proposed polariton graphs as a novel platform for solving hard optimization problems that can be mapped into the $XY$ model. Here, we elucidate a relationship between the energy spectrum of the $XY$ Hamiltonian and the total…
The motion of helium crystals has been experimentally studied when the crystals fall in the superfluid liquid owing to gravity at temperatures above the roughening transitions where the whole crystal surface is in the atomically rough…
We performed numerical simulations of decaying quantum turbulence by using a generalized Gross-Pitaevskii equation, that includes a beyond mean field correction and a nonlocal interaction potential. The nonlocal potential is chosen in order…
In this study, we report on the observation of de Haas-van Alphen-type quantum oscillations (QO) in the ultrasound velocity of NbP as well as `giant QO' in the ultrasound attenuation in pulsed magnetic fields. The difference of the QO…
The Fokker-Planck equation derived by Brown for the probability density function of the orientation of the magnetic moment of single domain particles is one of the basic equations in the theory of superparamagnetism. Usually this equation…
In a neutral system such as liquid helium-3, transport of mass, heat, and spin provide information analogous to electrical counterparts in metals, superconductors and topological materials. Of particular interest is transport in strongly…
Formation of topological defects during symmetry breaking phase transitions via the {\it Kibble mechanism} is extensively used in systems ranging from condensed matter physics to the early stages of the universe. Kibble mechanism uses…
Even the best quality 2D materials have non-negligible concentrations of vacancies and impurities. It is critical to understand and quantify how defects change intrinsic properties, and use this knowledge to generate functionality. This…
Relaxation-induced dipolar modulation enhancement (RIDME) is a pulse EPR technique that is particularly suitable to determine distances between paramagnetic centers with a broad EPR spectrum, e.g. metal-ion-based ones. As far as high-spin…
We statistically study vortex reconnections in quantum fluids by evolving different realizations of vortex Hopf links using the Gross--Pitaevskii model. Despite the time-reversibility of the model, we report a clear evidence that the…
First principle computer simulations yield evidence of a finite superfluid response at low temperature of a parahydrogen cluster of 15 molecules in bulk superfluid He-4. The superfluid fraction is worth ~44% at T=0.25 K, growing to about…
Understanding the temperature dependence of thermal boundary resistance, or Kapitza resistance, between liquid helium and sintered metal has posed a problem in low temperature physics for decades. In the ballistic regime of superfluid…
We evaluate the dipolar oscillations of a harmonically trapped fermion gas containing thermal bosonic impurities as a function of the anisotropy of the trap, from the numerical solution of the Vlasov-Landau equations for the one-body…
A mathematical model is developed for the process of mass transfer from a fluid flowing through a packed column. Mass loss, whether by absorption or adsorption, may be significant. This is appropriate for example when removing contaminants…
