We study the effect of open boundary condition on charge density waves (CDW). The electron density oscillates rapidly close to the boundary, and additional non-oscillating terms (~ln(r)) appear. The Friedel oscillations survive beyond the…

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…
Plasmons in ordinary electron liquids are collective excitations whose long-wavelength limit is rigid center-of-mass motion with a dispersion relation that is, as a consequence of Galileian invariance, unrenormalized by many-body effects.…
We illustrate how finite-temperature charge and thermal Drude weights of one-dimensional systems can be obtained from the relaxation of initial states featuring global (left-right) gradients in the chemical potential or temperature. The…
Drude weight ($D$) is a useful measure to distinguish a metal from an insulator. However, $D$ has not been justifiably estimated by the variation theory for long, since Millis and Coppersmith [Phys. Rev. B 43 (1991) 13770] pointed out that…
We have examined the behavior of the compressibility, the dc-conductivity, the single-particle gap, and the Drude weight as probes of the density-driven metal-insulator transition in the Hubbard model on a square lattice. These quantities…
We construct a system of bosonic closed string field theory coupled to a D-brane. The interaction between the D-brane and closed string field is introduced using the boundary state which is a function of constant field strength $F_{\mu\nu}$…

We study the dependence on the strength and orientation of applied uniaxial strain of the Drude weight in the conductivity of graphene. We find a nonmonotonic dependence on strain, which may be related to the proximity to several…
Nonlinear Drude weight (NLDW) is a new concept which characterizes the nonlinear transport in quantum many-body systems. We investigate these weights for the spin-1/2 XXZ chain in the critical regime. The effects of the…
The adiabatic connection of density functional theory (DFT) for electronic systems is generalized here to negative values of the coupling strength $\alpha$ (with {\em attractive} electrons). In the extreme limit $\alpha\to-\infty$ a simple…
We study the strong correlation effects in the vicinity of the Mott metal-insulator transition using coupled clean or disordered Hubbard chains with a infinitely large coordinate number $D_{\perp}\to\infty$ in the direction perpendicular to…
We demonstrate that the plasmon frequency and Drude weight of the electron liquid in a doped graphene sheet are strongly renormalized by electron-electron interactions even in the long-wavelength limit. This effect is not captured by the…
Hydrodynamic instabilities are usually investigated in confined geometries where the resulting spatiotemporal pattern is constrained by the boundary conditions. Here we study the Faraday instability in domains with flexible boundaries. This…
We show that the conductivity of a two-dimensional electron gas can be intrinsically anisotropic despite isotropic Fermi surface, energy dispersion, and disorder configuration. In the model we study, the anisotropy stems from the interplay…
The Hubbard model on a Sierpinski gasket fractal is carefully examined within a Hartree-Fock mean field approach. We examine the influence of a magnetic flux threading the gasket on its ground state energy, persistent current and the Drude…
We study the transport properties of one-dimensional (1D) interacting Fermions through a barrier by numerically calculating the Kohn charge stiffness constant and the relative Drude weight. We find that the transport properties of the 1D…
