Momentum transfer due to Coulomb interaction between two parallel, two-dimensional, narrow, and spatially separated layers, when a current I_{drive} is driven through one layer, is studied in the presence of a perpendicular magnetic field…
This paper is devoted to semiclassical tunneling estimates induced on the circle by a double well electric potential in the case when a magnetic field is added. When the two electric wells are connected by two geodesics for the Agmon…
We investigate the effect of an applied magnetic field on resonant tunneling of electrons through the bound states of self-assembled InAs quantum dots (QDs) embedded within an (AlGa)As tunnel barrier. At low temperatures (no more than 2 K),…
The discovery of long-lived electrostatic coherent structures with large-amplitude electric fields ($1 \leq E \leq 500 $ mV/m) by the Van Allen Probes has revealed alternative routes through which planetary radiation belts' acceleration can…
We elucidate how black holes form in trans-Planckian collisions. In the rest frame of one of the incident particles, the gravitational field of the other, which is rapidly moving, looks like a gravitational shock wave. The shock wave…
We argue that the entropy of a black hole is due to the entanglement of matter fields and gravitons across the horizon. While the entanglement entropy of the vacuum is divergent because of UV correlations, we show that low-energy…
I review recent novel experimental and theoretical advances in the physics of quantum Hall effect bilayers. Of particular interest is a broken symmetry state which optimizes correlations by putting the electrons into a coherent…
We use holography to study sensitive dependence on initial conditions in strongly coupled field theories. Specifically, we mildly perturb a thermofield double state by adding a small number of quanta on one side. If these quanta are…
We construct the holographic dual of an electrically charged, localised defect in a conformal field theory at strong coupling, by applying a spatially dependent chemical potential. We find that the IR behaviour of the spacetime depends on…
We consider the dynamics of a compressible fluid under the influence of electrostrictive ponderomotive forces in strong inhomogeneous nonstationary electric fields. It is shown that if the fronts of the voltage rise at a sharp, needle-like…

Longitudinal density correlations of produced matter in Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN)=200 GeV have been measured from the inclusive charged particle distributions as a function of pseudorapidity window sizes. The extracted \alpha \xi…
We study the effects of electron-hole asymmetry on the electronic structure of helical edge states in HgTe/HgCdTe quantum wells. In the framework of the four-band kp-model, which takes into account the absence of a spatial inversion centre,…
Inspired by recent experiments by Geim et al. we discuss the classical theory of the Hall effect of a 2 dimensional electron gas in an inhomogeneous magnetic field. The field modulation is in the form of flux tubes created by a…
We consider the collision in 2+1 dimensions of a black hole and a negative tension brane on an orbifold. Because there is no gravitational radiation in 2+1 dimensions, the horizon area shrinks when part of the brane falls through. This…
We discuss quantum mechanical decay of color magnetic field generated initially at high energy heavy ion collisions. It is caused by Nielsen-Olesen unstable modes and is accomplished possibly in a period $<1$fm/c. We show that the decay…
Magnetic field applied to the quantum dot coupled between one metallic and one superconducting electrode can produce a similar effect as has been experimentally observed by Meservey, Tedrow and Fulde [Phys. Rev. Lett. 25, 1270 (1970)] for…

Startling magnetic effects on the spontaneous polarization echo in some silicate glasses at low and ultra-low temperatures have been reported in the last decade or so. Though some progress in search of an explanation has been made by…
An anomalous energy splitting of spin triplet states at zero magnetic field has recently been measured in germanium quantum dots. This zero-field splitting could crucially alter the coupling between tunnel-coupled quantum dots, the basic…
