We consider dressing of excitonic properties by strongly correlated electrons in gate controlled twisted homo-bilayer heterostructures. The combined effect of the moir\'e potential and the Coulomb interaction supports the formation of…
We study a mechanism to induce superconductivity in atomically thin semiconductors where excitons mediate an effective attraction between electrons. Our model includes interaction effects beyond the paradigm of phonon-mediated…
We show that two added, excess electrons with opposite spins in one-dimensional crystal lattices with quartic anharmonicity may form a bisolectron, which is a localized bound state of the paired electrons to a soliton-like lattice…
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…
Strong short ranged positional correlations involving counterions can induce a net attractive force between negatively charged strands of DNA, and lead to the formation of ion pairs in dilute ionic solutions. But the long range of the…
The physics of excitons, electron-hole pairs that are bound together by their mutual Coulomb attraction, can to great extent be understood in the framework of the quantum-mechanical hydrogen model. This model has recently been challenged by…
Unconventional symmetries of the order parameter allowed some researchers to maintain that a purely repulsive interaction between electrons provides superconductivity without phonons in a number of high-temperature superconductors. It is…
Identity of electrons leads to description of their states by symmetrical or anti-symmetrical combination of free coherent states. Due to the coordinate uncertainty potential energy of the Coulomb repulsing is limited from above and so when…

Coulomb repulsion between electrons moving on a frustrated lattice can give rise, at simple commensurate electronic densities, to exotic insulating phases of matter. Such a phenomenon is illustrated using an extended t--J model on a planar…
Electronic charge carriers in ionic materials can self-trap to form large polarons. Interference between the ionic displacements associated with oppositely charged large polarons increases as they approach one another. Initially this…

A state of an excitonic insulator with the electric current is studied. Initially, in the metallic phase, the electrons and holes are assumed to be moving in the opposite directions, so as the electric current exists. This state is…

We describe a physical mechanism for creating multi-soliton bound states where solitons are glued together by attraction between the beams they guide, `solitonic gluons'. We verify the concept of the solitonic gluons experimentally,…
A superconductor emerges as a condensate of electron pairs, which bind despite their strong Coulomb repulsion. Eliashberg's theory elucidates the mechanisms enabling them to overcome this repulsion and predicts the transition temperature…
We consider the interplay between persistent motion, which is a generic property of active particles, and a recoil interaction which causes particles to jump apart on contact. The recoil interaction exemplifies an active contact interaction…
