Recent THz spectroscopy of the quantum paraelectric SrTiO$_3$ (arXiv:2501.15771) and a high-$T_c$ cuprate (arXiv:2503.15646) has renewed interest in energy relaxation in correlated electron systems. We consider a situation in which…

Transport of strongly interacting fermions governs modern materials -- from the high-$T_c$ cuprates to bilayer graphene --, but also nuclear fission, the merging of neutron stars and the expansion of the early universe. Here we observe a…

The existence of an acoustic plasmon in extrinsic (doped or gated) monolayer graphene was found recently in an {\it ab initio} calculation with the frozen lattice [M. Pisarra {\it et al.}, arXiv:1306.6273, 2013]. By the {\em fully dynamic}…
