Certain classes of strongly correlated systems promise high thermopower efficiency, but a full understanding of correlation effects on the Seebeck coefficient is lacking. This is partly due to limitations of Boltzmann-type approaches. One…
The effects of electromagnetic fields (EMF) have been widely debated concerning their role in chemical reactions. Reactions usually took hours or days to complete, and have been shown to happen a thousand times faster using EMF radiations.…
In this paper we consider classical and quantum versions of the critical long-range $O(N)$ model, for which we study finite-size and finite-temperature effects, respectively, at large $N$. First, we consider the classical (isotropic) model,…

We use the maximum information principle to include particle-interaction into the grand-canonical theory of BECs. The inclusion of the particle-interaction elucidates why thermodynamic calculations for BECs by the grand-canonical ensemble…
The unitarity regime of the BCS-BEC crossover can be realized by diluting a system of two-component lattice fermions with an on-site attractive interaction. We perform a systematic-error-free finite-temperature simulations of this system by…
The thermoelectric (TE) properties of a material are dramatically altered when electron-electron interactions become the dominant scattering mechanism. In the degenerate hydrodynamic regime, the thermal conductivity is reduced and becomes a…
The ternary intermetallic compound Gd$_2$Cu$_2$In crystallizes in Mo$_2$Fe$_2$B type structure with the space group $P4/mbm$ and we study critical behaviour and magnetocaloric effect near the ferromagnetic transition ($T_C$ $\approx$ 94 K)…
Albeit occurring at zero temperature, quantum critical phenomena are known to have a huge impact on the finite-temperature phase diagram of strongly correlated systems -- an aspect which gives experimental access to their observation. In…
