Properties of the "electron gas" - in which conduction electrons interact by means of Coulomb forces but ionic potentials are neglected - change dramatically depending on the balance between kinetic energy and Coulomb repulsion. The limits…
The electron-electron scattering increases the resistance of ballistic many-mode channels whose width is smaller than their length. We show that this increase saturates in the limit of infinitely long channels. Because the mechanisms of…
Models for the integrated relativistic electron population in clusters of galaxies are presented. The results depend on the history of electron acceleration in the cluster. If there is no present particle acceleration or other sources, then…
In dense stars the nuclear reaction rates are influenced by screening effects arising from both ions and electrons. In this paper we calculate the enhancement factors due to electron polarization in the high-density, degenerate and…
Analytical expressions for the binding energy of electrons and positrons in dielectric clusters, analysed in this work, neglect the elastic effects. Therefore, we present the density-functional theory for neutral liquid clusters that…
The question whether excess electrons in SrTiO3 form free or trapped carriers is a crucial aspect for the electronic properties of this important material. This fundamental ambiguity prevents a consistent interpretation of the puzzling…
We consider free electrons in rectangular quantum dots, with either hard wall boundary conditions or anharmonic confinement. In both cases, due to finite size effects, a homogeneous electric field applied along one of the rectangular axis…
Collective charge-density modes (plasmons) of the clean two-dimensional unpolarized electron gas are stable, for momentum conservation prevents them from decaying into single-particle excitations. Collective spin-density modes (spin…
Collisionless absorption of laser energy by an electron via laser-cluster interaction in an ambient magnetic field ($B_0$) has recently renewed interest. %due to high levels of absorption. Previously, using a rigid sphere model (RSM) and an…
The thermodynamic properties of electron gas under the extreme conditions of high temperature, high matter density, and/or a strong magnetic field largely determine the behaviour of matter in upper layers of neutron stars and accretion…
In this paper we report on our theoretical studies of various aspects of the correlated stopping power of two point-like ions (a dicluster) moving in close but variable vicinity of each other in some metallic target materials the latter…
We report on the observation of a strong perturbation of the electron gas induced by 20 MeV/u U$^{91+}$ ions and 13 MeV/u Pb$^{81+}$ ions channeled in silicon crystals. This collective response (wake effect) in-duces a shift of the…
Electrons in an expanding ultracold plasma are expected to be in quasi-equilibrium, since the collision times are short compared to the plasma lifetime, yet we observe electrons evaporating out as the ion density decreases during expansion.…
We consider a three dimensional Wigner crystal of electrons lying in a host ionic dielectric. Owing to their interaction with the lattice polarization, each localized electron forms a polaron. We study the collective excitations of such a…
Recent observations of high energy (> 20 keV) X-ray emission in a few clusters extend and broaden our knowledge of physical phenomena in the intracluster space. This emission is likely to be nonthermal, probably resulting from Compton…
Constant temperature molecular dynamics simulations were used to study solutions of flexible polyelectrolyte chains at nonzero concentrations with explicit counterions and unscreened coulombic interactions. Counterion condensation, measured…

Electron microscopy relies on the spatial coherence of electron beams to generate atomic-scale images using interference and diffraction, which can be degraded by inelastic scattering processes that induce decoherence. Here, we present a…
