While most of the rare earth metals readily form trihydrides, due to increased stability of the filled 4f electronic shell for Yb(II), only YbH$_{2.67}$, formally corresponding to Yb$^{\rm II}$(Yb$^{\rm III}$H$_4$)$_2$ or Yb$_3$H$_8$,…
In this Letter we theoretically study physical properties of a model of heavy fermion $d-f$ hybrid. In the studied model two species of fermions have dispersions with different masses, one being much heavier than the other. Hybridization…
A recent work by Zhao et al. [1] reports the realization of a synthetic Kondo lattice in a gate-tunable Moir\'e TMD bilayer system. The observation of a Kondo lattice is supported by a plateau (or dip, depending on filling) in the…
Superconductivity is a fascinating example of how "more is different". It is due to electrons binding into bosonic Cooper pairs, which exhibit coherent behavior across a macroscopic sample. Finding the mechanism responsible for this binding…

Unusual properties of strongly correlated liquid observed in the high-$T_c$ superconductors and heavy-fermion (HF) metals are determined by quantum phase transitions taking place at their critical points. Therefore, direct experimental…

A parton produced with a high transverse momentum in a hard collision is regenerating its color field, intensively radiating gluons and losing energy. This process cannot last long, if it ends up with production of a leading hadron carrying…
In preon models based on chiral gauge theories, we show that light composite fermions can ensue as a result of gauging a subset of preons in a vector-like manner. After demonstrating how this mechanism works in a toy example, we construct a…
Hot and/or dense, normal-conducting systems of relativistic fermions exhibit a particular collective excitation, the so-called plasmino. We compute the one-loop self-energy, the dispersion relation and the spectral density for fermions…
Two-dimensional system of the fermions with the indirect Einstein phonon-exchange attraction and added local four-fermion interaction is considered. It is shown that in such a system at resulting attraction between particles a new…

Traditional thermoelectric materials rely on low thermal conductivity to enhance their efficiency but suffer from inherently limited power factors. Novel pathways to optimize electronic transport are thus crucial. Here, we achieve ultrahigh…
We study the interplay of intrinsic-electronic and environmental factors on long-range charge transport across molecular chains with up to $N\sim 80$ monomers. We describe the molecular electronic structure of the chain with a tight-binding…
A new model is proposed for the strong ferromagnetism associated with partially localized orbitals in the Fe16N2 metallic system which draws substantially from models of heavy fermion metals. We demonstrated that an unusual correlation…
We consider models of heavy fermions in the strong coupling or local moment limit and include phonon degrees of freedom on the conduction electrons. Due to the large mass or low coherence temperature of the heavy fermion state, it is shown…
Four-fermion operators with large anomalous dimension may feed down mass to quarks and leptons from a heavy fourth family. No technicolor sector is required. A model illustrates the origin of the large top mass along with quark mass…
The properties of an electron in a typical solid are modified by the interaction with the crystal ions, leading to the formation of a quasiparticle: the polaron. Such polarons are often described using the Fr\"ohlich Hamiltonian, which…
