We have developed a theory of the anomalous Hall effect in two-dimensional electron gas in the case where the time of electron-electron collisions is much smaller than the transport relaxation time. The transition between the diffusion…
In the dynamics of atoms and molecules at metal surfaces, electron-hole pair excitations can play a crucial role. In the case of hyperthermal hydrogen atom scattering, they lead to nonadiabatic energy loss and highly inelastic scattering.…
Through experiments, we studied defect turbulence, a type of spatiotemporal chaos in planar systems of nematic liquid crystals, to clarify the chaotic advection of weak turbulence. In planar systems of large aspect ratio, structural…

Over the last decade, an increasing body of evidence has emerged, supporting the existence of a metastable liquid-liquid critical point in supercooled water, whereby two distinct liquid phases of different densities coexist. Analysing long…
A liquid subjected to negative pressure is thermodynamically metastable. Confined within a small volume, negative pressure can build up until cavities form spontaneously. The critical negative pressure for cavitation in water has been…
Rock geophysical properties are widely reported to exhibit non-linear behaviours under low-stress conditions (below 10-20 MPa) before transitioning to the linear elastic stage, primarily due to the closure of microcracks and grain…
The spontaneous emission rate of a radiating atom reaches its time-independent equilibrium value after an initial transient regime. In this paper we consider the associated relaxation effects of the spontaneous decay rate of atoms in…

The dynamic response of an interacting electron system is determined by an extension of the relaxation-time approximation forced to obey local conservation laws for number, momentum and energy. A consequence of these imposed constraints is…
We formulate the statistical dynamics of topological defects in the active nematic phase, formed in two dimensions by a collection of self-driven particles on a substrate. An important consequence of the non-equilibrium drive is the…

Although earthquake prediction is a big challenge in the world, some simple observational tools can capture many physical signals and demonstrate that an earthquake (EQ) may be forthcoming in short period. Many researchers have studied the…
We propose that acousto-optical coupling of the electric field to strain fields around defects in disordered $^4$He is causing an increase of the dielectric function with decreasing temperature due to the arrested dynamics of defect…
Fluid pressure and flow in the crust is a key parameter controlling earthquake physics. Since earthquake slip is linked to spatio-temporal localisation of deformation, it is expected that the localised fluid pressure around the fault plane…
It is suggested that a set of positive- and negative-energy oscillations can be resonantly excited in the inner region of deformed (warped or eccentric) relativistic disks. In this paper we examine how a dissipative process affects on this…
Relaxor behavior and lattice dynamics have been studied for a single crystal of K$_{1-x}$Li$_x$TaO$_3$ $(x=0.05)$, where a small amount of a Ca impurity ($\sim 15$~ppm) was incorporated. The dielectric measurements revealed Debye-like…
