The unusual properties of two-dimensional electron systems that give rise to the quantum Hall effect have prompted the development of new microscopic models for electrical conduction. The bulk properties of the quantum Hall effect have also…
In this continuum theory, we propose a mathematical framework to study the mechanical interplay of bulk-surfaces materials undergoing deformation and phase segregation. To this end, we devise a principle of virtual powers with a…
We formulate an extension of the Debye-Hueckel-Bjerrum theory [M. E. Fisher and Y. Levin, Phys. Rev. Lett. 71, 3826 (1993)] to the fluid state of a highly asymmetric charged colloid. Allowing for the formation of clusters consisting of one…
We consider a simple model for an SNS Josephson junction in which the "normal metal" is a section of a filling-factor $\nu=2$ integer quantum-Hall edge. We provide analytic expressions for the current/phase relations to all orders in the…
Surface currents provide a general way to model static magnetic fields in source-free volumes. To facilitate the use of surface currents in magneto-quasistatic problems, we have implemented a set of computational tools in a Python package…
The electric-power dissipation of the anomalous-Hall current injected into a lateral load circuit is studied. The anomalous-Hall current is generated by a $\mathrm{Co_{75}Gd_{25}}$ ferrimagnetic Hall bar and injected into lateral contacts…
The spin-Hall effect underpins some of the most active topics in modern physics, including spin torques and the inverse spin-Hall effect, yet it lacks a proper theoretical description. This makes it difficult to differentiate the SHE from…
In this work we establish a density-functional reformulation of coupled matter-photon problems subject to general external electromagnetic fields and charge currents. We first show that for static minimally-coupled matter-photon systems an…
An effective Chern-Simons theory for the Abelian quantum Hall states with edges is proposed to study the edge and bulk properties in a unified fashion. We impose a condition that the currents do not flow outside the sample. With this…
Magnetic fields and flows in coronal structures, for example, in gradual phases in flares, can be described by 2D and 3D magnetohydrostatic (MHS) and steady magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equilibria. Within a physically simplified, but exact…
Surface modes are coupled electromagnetic/electrostatic excitations of free electrons near the vacuum-plasma interface and can be excited on a sufficiently dense plasma half-space. They propagate along the surface plane and decay in either…
We study the Hall effect in diluted plasmas within the two-fluids theory. Composed by two distinct species with opposite charge, such as electrons and ions in fully ionised hydrogen, the plasma is driven by an electric field through a…
We report the first experimental observation of magnetic-field-induced quantized charge accumulation in a quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) system -- a phenomenon originating from the intrinsic two-dimensional surface state and fundamentally…
We revisit the physics of hole-conjugate Fractional Quantum Hall (FQH) phases characterized by counter-propagating edge channels at filling factors above 1/2. We propose a minimal and intuitive model that successfully accounts for all…
Fluid pumping and the generation of electric current by living tissues are required during morphogenetic processes and for maintainance of homeostasis. How these flows emerge from active and passive ion transport in cells has been well…
The dynamics of a metallic particle confined between charged walls is studied. One wall is fixed and the other moves smoothly and periodically in time. Dissipation is considered by assuming a friction produced by the contact between the…
A systematic field theory is presented for charged systems. The one-loop level corresponds to the classical Debye-H\"uckel (DH) theory, and exhibits the full hierarchy of multi-body correlations determined by pair-distribution functions…
Electric-field-driven electrolyte transport through nanoporous membranes is important for applications including osmotic power generation, sensing and iontronics. We derive an analytical equation in the Debye--H\"uckel regime and a…
Experiments are performed in which dust particles are levitated at varying heights above the powered electrode in a RF plasma discharge by changing the discharge power. The trajectories of particles dropped from the top of the discharge…
Thermal energy can be conducted by different mechanisms including by single particles or collective excitations. Thermal conductivity is system-specific and shows a richness of behaviors currently explored in different systems including…
