It is known that in a water solution with multivalent counterions (Z-ions), two likely charged macroions can attract each other due to correlations of Z-ions adsorbed on their surfaces. This "correlation" attraction is short-ranged and…
A dependence of phonon interaction on the interelectronic distance is found for a translation-invariant (TI) strong-coupling bipolaron. It is shown that the charge induced by the electrons in a TI-bipolaron state is always greater than that…
When materials are in the diffusive regime, i.e. when the scattering length is less than the sample size, charge transport is mediated by diffusons and cooperons. We argue that these charge carriers are not always spread out throughout the…
