Collisionless plasma systems are often studied using fully kinetic simulations, where protons and electrons are treated as particles. Due to their computational expense, it is necessary to reduce the ion-to-electron mass ratio $m_i/m_e$ or…
The so-called minimal models of unconventional superconductivity are lattice models of interacting electrons derived from materials in which electron pairing arises from purely repulsive interactions. Showing unambiguously that a minimal…

Previous studies of phase mixing of ion cyclotron (IC), Alfv\'enic, waves in the collisionless regime have established the generation of parallel electric field and hence acceleration of electrons in the regions of transverse density…
High-harmonic generation (HHG) in solids has rapidly emerged as a promising platform for creating compact attosecond sources and probing ultrafast electron dynamics. Resonant metasurfaces are essential for enhancement of the otherwise small…
Many in-situ spacecraft observations have demonstrated that magnetic reconnection in the Earth's magnetotail is largely controlled by the pre-reconnection current sheet configuration. One of the most important thin current sheet…
In 1970s, Wilson shown the deep connection of renormalization and scaling of the effective Lagrangian. Polchinski further proved that such connection implied renormalizability of perturbative field theory. We develop the mechanism by an…

We develop a theory that describes the response of non-reciprocal devices employing 2-dimensional materials in the quantum Hall regime capacitively coupled to external electrodes. As the conduction in these devices is understood to be…
We have shown that the electron transport through junctions of one-dimensional and two-dimensional systems, as well as through quantum point contacts, is considerably affected by the interaction of electrons of different subbands. The…
Particle distributions in weakly collisional environments such as the magnetosphere have been observed to show deviations from the Maxwellian distribution. These can often be reproduced in kinetic simulations, but fluid models, which are…
We investigate the kinetic-energy spectrum of electrons emitted from an excited many-electron system, often called photo-electron spectrum (PES). We are particularly interested on the impact of resonant modes of the system on PES. To this…
We investigate numerically the long-time behavior of balanced Alfven wave turbulence forced at intermediate scales. Whereas the usual constant-flux solution is found at the smallest scales, two new scalings are obtained at the forcing…
We consider a system of two-dimensional electrons strongly localized by disorder. Interactions create a gap in the average tunneling density of states $\nu(E)$ at energies, E, close to the Fermi level. We derive a system of self-consistent…
We introduce a new paradigm for one-dimensional uniform electron gases (UEGs). In this model, $n$ electrons are confined to a ring and interact via a bare Coulomb operator. We use Rayleigh-Schr\"odinger perturbation theory to show that, in…
A three-dimensional, space-frequency model for simulation of interaction in free-electron lasers (FELs) is presented. The model utilizes an expansion of the total electromagnetic field (radiation and space-charge waves) in terms of…
