The bare Coulomb interaction between two like-charges is repulsive. When these charges are immersed in an electrolyte, the thermal fluctuations of the ions turn the bare Coulomb interaction into an effective interaction between the two…

In a superconductor electrons form pairs despite the Coulomb repulsion as a result of an effective attractive interaction mediated by, for example phonons. In the present paper DeGennes' description of the dynamically screened Coulomb…
The physics of itinerant electrons in condensed matter is by and large governed by repulsive Coulomb forces. However, rare cases exist where local attractive interactions emerge and prevail in determining the ground state of the system…
We show that in anharmonic one-dimensional crystal lattices pairing of electrons or holes in a localized bisolectron state is possible due to coupling between the charges and the lattice deformation that can overcompensate the Coulomb…
