A metal near the topological transition can be loosely viewed as consisting of two groups of electrons. First group are "bulk" electrons occupying most of the Brillouin zone. Second group are electrons with wave vectors close to the…
In 1965 Kohn and Luttinger proposed a genuine electronic mechanism for superconductivity. Despite the bare electrostatic interaction between two electrons being repulsive, in a metal electron-hole fluctuations can give rise to Friedel…
Discontinuous quantum phase transitions besides their general interest are clearly relevant to the study of heavy fermions and magnetic transition metal compounds. Recent results show that in many systems belonging to these classes of…
As it is well known there may arise situations when an interaction between electrons is attractive. A weak attraction should manifest itself strongly in 1D systems, since it can create two-electron bound states. This paper interprets the…
We study an electron distribution under a quasiperiodic potential in light of hyperuniformity, aiming to establish a classification and analysis method for aperiodic but orderly density distributions realized in, e.g., quasicrystals. Using…
Experiments reveal that a confined electron system with two equally-populated layers at zero magnetic field can spontaneously break this symmetry through an interlayer charge transfer near the magnetic quantum limit. New fractional quantum…
Kondo effect in the vicinity of a singlet-triplet transition in a vertical quantum dot is considered. This system is shown to map onto a special version of the two-impurity Kondo model. At any value of the control parameter, the system has…
Being a general wave phenomenon, bound states in the continuum (BICs) appear in acoustic, hydrodynamic, and photonic systems of various dimensionalities. Here, we report the first experimental observation of an accidental electromagnetic…
Bound states in the continuum (BICs) are generally considered unusual phenomena. In this work, we provide a method to analyze the spatial structure of particle's bound states in the presence of a minimal length, which can be used to find…
The orbital effect on the Fulde-Ferrell (FF) phase is investigated in superconducting core/shell nanowires subjected to the axial magnetic field. The confinement in the radial direction results in the quantization of the electron motion…
A quantum phase transition that was recently observed in a high-mobility silicon MOSFET is analyzed in terms of a scaling theory. The most striking characteristic of the transition is a divergence of the thermopower, according to an inverse…
We consider a one-dimensional fermionic lattice system with long-ranged power-law decaying hopping with exponent $\alpha$. The system is further subjected to dephasing noise in the bulk. We investigate two variants of the problem: (i) an…
Atomic-like systems in which electronic motion is two dimensional are now realizable as ``quantum dots''. In place of the attraction of a nucleus there is a confining potential, usually assumed to be quadratic. Additionally, a perpendicular…
We investigate the role of charging effects in a voltage-biased quantum wire. Both the finite range of the Coulomb interaction and the long-ranged nature of the Friedel oscillation imply a finite capacitance, leading to a charging energy.…
The correct definition of the conductance of finite systems implies a connection to the system of the massive ideal leads. Influence of the latter on the properties of the system appears to be rather essential and is studied below on the…
We develop a theory of edge excitations of fractonic systems in two dimensions, and elucidate their connections to bulk transport properties and quantum statistics of bulk excitations. The system we consider has immobile point charges,…
The Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity are two critical quantities to optimize simultaneously in designing thermoelectric materials, and they are determined by the dynamics of carrier scattering. We uncover a new regime where…
Good metals are characterised by diffusive transport of coherent quasi-particle states and the resistivity is much less than the Mott-Ioffe-Regel (MIR) limit, $\frac{ha}{e^{2}}$, where $a$ is the lattice constant. In bad metals, such as…
A large-N diagrammatic approach is used to study coupled quantum dots in a parallel geometry. We show that the Friedel sum rule (FSR) holds at lowest order in a 1/N expansion for this system, thereby suggesting that the ground state is a…
