The Hubbard on-site repulsion $U$ between opposite spin electrons on the same atomic orbital is widely regarded to be the most important source of electronic correlation in solids. Here we extend the Hubbard model to account for the fact…

The multipole expansion is a key tool in the study of light-matter interactions. All the information about the radiation of and coupling to electromagnetic fields of a given charge-density distribution is condensed into few numbers: The…
Common belief, confirmed by existing experiments, is that arbitrarily weak disorder should lead to spatial localization of eigenmodes of scalar wave equations when wave propagation is two-dimensional (2D). We predict that contrary to this…
