The frequency-dependent conductivity is studied for the one-dimensional Hubbard model, using a selection rule, the Bethe ansatz, and symmetries associated with conservation laws. For densities where the system is metallic the absorption…
For electron transport in parallel-plane semiconducting structures, a model is developed that unifies ballistic and diffusive transport and thus generalizes the Drude model. The unified model is valid for arbitrary magnitude of the mean…
A generalization of the Drude model is studied. On the one hand, the free motion of the particles is allowed to be sub- or superdiffusive; on the other hand, the distribution of the time delay between collisions is allowed to have a long…
The Drude-Smith model successfully describes the frequency and phase-resolved electrical conductivity data for a surprisingly broad range of systems, especially in the terahertz region. Still, its interpretation is unclear since its…
Electrons moving in graphene behave as massless Dirac fermions, and they exhibit fascinating low-frequency electrical transport phenomena. Their dynamic response, however, is little known at frequencies above one terahertz (THz). Such…
The frequency-dependent conductivity is studied for both the one-dimensional Hubbard model and a model of spinless fermions, using a selection rule, the Bethe ansatz energy eigenstates, and conformal invariance. For densities where the…
The model of hole superconductivity predicts that the superfluid weight in the zero-frequency $\delta$-function in the optical conductivity has an anomalous contribution from high frequencies, due to lowering of the system's kinetic energy…

We study charge transport across the metal-insulator crossover in the half-filled two-dimensional Hubbard model, with particular emphasis on precision control. The dynamic current-current correlation function is obtained directly in the…
The density-wave with d-wave order parameter (DDW) is possibly realized in the underdoped regime of high-T_c cuprates. The DDW state is characterized by two branches of low-lying electronic excitations, and the quantum mechanical current…
In classical Drude theory the conductivity is determined by the mass of the propagating particles and the mean free path between two scattering events. For a quantum particle this simple picture of diffusive transport loses relevance if…
We address the in-plane pressure-dependent electrodynamics of graphite through synchrotron based infrared spectroscopy and ab initio Density Functional Theory calculations. The Drude term remarkably increases upon pressure application, as a…
This is the third paper of a series revisiting the Faraday effect. The question of the absolute convergence of the sums over the band indices entering the Verdet constant is considered. In general, sum rules and traces per unit volume play…
Mermin's dielectric function [N.D. Mermin, Phys. Rev. B 1, 2362 (1970)] is widely assumed to satisfy the f-sum rule because he constrains his ansatz with the continuity equation. However, we identify a moment-closure problem in Mermin's use…
For finite systems, the real part of the conductivity is usually decomposed as the sum of a zero frequency delta peak and a finite frequency regular part. In studies with periodic boundary conditions, the Drude weight, i.e., the weight of…
Employing a quantum Monte Carlo simulation we find a pairing instability in the normal state of the infinite dimensional periodic Anderson model. Superconductivity arises from a normal state in which the screening is protracted and which is…
In interacting theories, hydrodynamics describes the universal behavior of states close to local thermal equilibrium at late times and long distances in a gradient expansion. In the hydrodynamic regime of metals, momentum relaxes slowly…
We consider spin accumulation at a ferromagnet--normal metal interface in the presence of magnetic scattering in the normal metal. In the classical regime, we discuss the inverse Drude scaling of the conductance as a function of the…

Understanding the origin of electron incoherence is believed to be the first step toward the resolution of the mysteries of the high-T$_{c}$ cuprate superconductors. Such electron incoherence manifests itself most evidently in the non-Drude…
