We present experimental observation of a new phenomenon, that we interpret as NMR-like effect on anisotropic magnetic moment of the surface Andreev bound states in topological superfluid $^3$He-B at zero temperature limit. We show that an…
Three-dimensional anisotropic turbulence in classical fluids tends towards isotropy and homogeneity with decreasing scales, allowing --eventually-- the abstract model of "isotropic homogeneous turbulence" to be relevant. We show here that…
We seek a rational route to large-deformation, thermo-mechanical modeling of solids with metrical defects. It assumes the reference and deformed geometries to be of the Weyl type and introduces the Weyl one-form -- an additional set of…
For two prototype systems, we calculate the exact exchange-correlation kernels $f_{\mathrm{xc}}(x,x',\omega)$ of time-dependent density functional theory. $f_{\mathrm{xc}}$, the key quantity for optical absorption spectra of electronic…
We present a new method to compute resonance Raman spectra based on ab initio level calculations using the frequency-dependent Placzek approximation. We illustrate the efficiency of our hybrid quantum-classical method by calculating the…
Quantum fluctuations in vacuum can exert a dissipative force on moving objects, which is known as Casimir friction. Especially, a rotating particle in the vacuum will eventually slow down due to the dissipative Casimir friction. Here, we…
We study the effect of a Chern-Simons term on dynamical gap generation in a low energy effective theory that describes some features of mono-layer suspended graphene. We use a non-perturbative Schwinger-Dyson approach. We solve a set of…
We study spectral and transport properties of one-dimensional tight-binding $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric chains with alternating couplings. Based on the transfer matrix method, we have analytically developed the expressions for the transmission…
Although the overwhelming majority of natural processes occurs far from the equilibrium, general theoretical approaches to non-equilibrium phase transitions remain scarce. Recent breakthroughs introducing description of open dissipative…
Magnetic materials generate demagnetizing field that depends on geometry of the sample and results in a shift of magnetic resonance frequency. This phenomenon should occur in porous nanostructures as well, e.g., in globally anisotropic…
Three-dimensional numerical simulations in a square duct were conducted to investigate entrance lengths of normal fluid and superfluid flows in a thermal counterflow of superfluid $^4$He. The two fluids were coarse-grained by using the…
We review the theoretical background for obtaining both quantum defects and scattering phase shifts from time-dependent density functional theory. The quantum defect on the negative energy side of the spectrum and the phase shift on the…
A new mathematical approach to condensed matter physics, based on the finite temperature field theory, was recently proposed. The field theory is a scale-free formalism, thus, it denies absolute values of thermodynamic temperature and uses…
Third sound measurements of superfluid $^4$He thin films adsorbed on 10 nm diameter multiwall carbon nanotubes are used to probe the superfluid onset temperature as a function of the film thickness, and to study the temperature dependence…
To study resistance noise (DeltaR) by a spectrum analyzer we must convert this noise into a noise voltage (DeltaV) at the reach of such generalized voltmeter. Whenever a current Iconv is set in a resistor to convert its resistance noise…
In pure superfluid $^3$He-B at ultra-low temperatures, quartz tuning fork oscillator response is expected to saturate when the dissipation caused by the superfluid medium becomes substantially smaller than the internal dissipation of the…
Wavefunctions for large electron numbers $N$ are plagued by the Exponential Wall Problem (EWP), i.e., an exponential increase in the dimensions of Hilbert space with $N$. Therefore they loose their meaning for macroscopic systems, a point…
Historically, there is little faith in particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) as a tool to make quantitative measurements of thermal counterflow in He II, since tracer particle motion is complicated by influences from the normal fluid,…
In the cooling concept by adiabatic melting, solid $^{4}$He is converted to liquid and mixed with $^{3}$He to produce cooling power directly in the liquid phase. This method overcomes the thermal boundary resistance that conventionally…
In this work, we define a set of analytic tools to describe the dynamic response of the magnetization to small perturbations, which can be used on its own or in combination with micromagnetic simulations and does not require saturation. We…
