Multiple ionisation and electron capture are found to be vital mechanisms for K and L x-ray emissions along with the direct coulomb ionisation in heavy ion-atom collisions. Naturally, these two mechanisms may also be significant for M x-ray…

This paper derives the anisotropic superexchange interactions from a Hubbard model for excitations within the copper 3d band and the oxygen 2p band of the undoped insulating cuprates. We extend the recent calculation of Yildirim et al.…
Symmetric heavy-ion collisions are known to display an `extra-push' effect. That is, the energy at which the s-wave transmission is 0.5 lies significantly higher than the nominal Coulomb barrier. Despite this, however, the capture cross…
We investigate the interplay between Coulomb driven orbital order and octahedral distortions in strongly correlated Mott insulators due to orbital dilution, i.e., doping by metal ions without an orbital degree of freedom. In particular, we…

The two-body Coulomb scattering problem is solved using the standard complex scaling method. The explicit enforcement of the scattering boundary condition is avoided. Splitting of the scattering wave function based on the Coulomb modified…
Electromagnetic field produced in high-energy heavy-ion collisions contains much useful information, because the field can be directly related to the motion of the matter in the whole stage of the reaction. One can divide the total…
We study the inelastic scattering rate due to the Coulomb interaction in three-dimensional Dirac/Weyl semimetals at finite temperature. We show that the perturbation theory diverges because of the long-range nature of the interaction,…
