We study the localization dynamics of a SU(2) fermionic wavepacket launched in a (pseudo)random potential. We show that in the limit of strong inter-component repulsions, the total wavepacket exhibits a boomerang-like dynamics, returning…
Owing to their integer spin, exciton-polaritons in microcavities can be used for observation of non-equilibrium Bose-Einstein condensation in solid state. However, spin-related phenomena of such condensates are difficult to explore due to…
A spin-charge recombination route to superconductivity, proposed earlier (1992)], is examined using the Schwinger boson representation of the t-J model. The representation is known to work well at half-filling. It was shown in the earlier…
Currently there is a common belief that the explanation of superconductivity phenomenon lies in understanding the mechanism of the formation of electron pairs. Paired electrons, however, cannot form a superconducting condensate…
We show that a supercurrent carried by spinless singlet Cooper pairs can induce a spin accumulation in the normal metal interlayer of a Josephson junction. This phenomenon occurs when a nonequilibrium spin-energy mode is excited in the…
