Local stresses and pressures always exist in glasses. In this letter we consider their effects on the structure and structural correlations in simple glasses. We find that extreme values of local pressures are related to well defined local…
The behavior of collective oscillations of a trapped boson-fermion mixed condensate is studied in the sum rule approach. Mixing angle of bosonic and fermionic multipole operators is introduced so that the mixing characters of the low-lying…
We carry out a systematic study of a novel type of chaos at onset ("soft-mode turbulence") based on numerical integration of the simplest one dimensional model. The chaos is characterized by a smooth interplay of different spatial scales,…
A 3D layered system of charges with logarithmic interaction parallel to the layers and random dipoles is studied via a novel variational method and an energy rationale which reproduce the known phase diagram for a single layer. Increasing…
Motivated by some recent criticisms to our alternative Langevin equation for driven lattice gases (DLG) under an infinitely large driving field, we revisit the derivation of such an equation, and test its validity. As a result, an…
In this paper we would like give a short review of our recent works and current investigation in modeling of solid film surfaces growth based on computer Monte Carlo simulations. We also discuss effect of some simplification in growth rules…
We present a recently introduced real space renormalization group (RG) approach to the study of surface growth. The method permits us to obtain the properties of the KPZ strong coupling fixed point, which is not accessible to standard…
We present a comparison of three different types of Langevin equation exhibiting absorbing states: the Langevin equation defining the Reggeon field theory, one with multiplicative noise, and a third type in which the noise is complex. Each…
We constructed the one-particle spectral functions (diagonal and off-diagonal) which reproduce BCS for weak coupling and which take into account the effect of correlations on superconductivity in the attractive Hubbard model. The diagonal…
The Andreev current through an ultrasmall NIS junction is calculated in a systematic way by means of a nonlinear response approach basing on the elementary Hamiltonian of quasiparticle tunneling. The voltage dependence of current and…
The critical exponents for a class of one-dimensional models of interface depinning in disordered media can be calculated through a mapping onto directed percolation (DP). In higher dimensions these models give rise to directed surfaces,…
A general and transparent procedure to bosonize fermions placed on a lattice is presented. Harmonics higher than $k_F$ are shown to appear in the one-paticle Green function, due to the compact character of real electron bands. Quantitative…
The problem of crossover from BCS to Bose-Einstein condensation has recently attracted considerable interest owing to the discovery of high-$T_{\rm c}$ cuprates. Their short coherence length, $\xi$, places these materials in the interesting…
We study the Hopfield model on a random graph in scaling regimes where the average number of connections per neuron is a finite number and where the spin dynamics is governed by a synchronous execution of the microscopic update rule…
Low frequency dielectric spectroscopy and thermally stimulated discharge measurements of charge density wave (CDW) system K$_{0.3}$MoO$_{3}$ are presented. Below 80 K two distinct relaxational processes are observed, which freeze at finite…
Using resonant x-ray scattering to perform diffraction experiments at the U M$_{4}$ edge novel reflections of the generic form $<kkk>$ have been observed in UAs$_{0.8}$Se$_{0.2}$ where $\vec{k} = < k00>$, with $k = {1/2}$ reciprocal lattice…
We report experimental results for the behavior of slow-combustion fronts in the presence of a columnar defect with excess or reduced driving, and compare them with those of mean-field theory. We also compare them with simulation results…
The magnetization of a thin Fe-Co cyanide film has been investigated from 5 K to 300 K and in fields up to 500 G. Upon illumination with visible light, the magnetization of the film rapidly increases. The original cluster glass behavior is…
The phase transition in the number partitioning problem (NPP), i.e., the transition from a region in the space of control parameters in which almost all instances have many solutions to a region in which almost all instances have no…
The equations-of-motion for the density matrix are derived in a multiband model to describe the response of semiconductors (bulk or quantum well structures) under optical excitation with arbitrary polarization. The multiband model used,…
