The Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity are two critical quantities to optimize simultaneously in designing thermoelectric materials, and they are determined by the dynamics of carrier scattering. We uncover a new regime where…
The relativistic and quantum theoretical explanations of the magnetic moment anomaly of the electron (or proton) show that it is a complicated function of the fine structure constant. In this work, a simple non-relativistic approach shows…
We consider the quantum mechanics of a spinless charged particle on a 2-dimensional sphere. When threaded with a magnetic monopole field, this is the well-known Haldane sphere that furnishes a translationally-invariant, incompressible…
Topological magnets host two sets of gauge fields: that of native Maxwell electromagnetism, thanks to the magnetic dipole moment of its constituent microscopic moments; and that of the emergent gauge theory describing the topological phase.…
It is commonly believed that the current response of an electron fluid to a mechanical force (such as an electric field) or to a ``statistical force" (e.g., a gradient of chemical potential) are governed by a single linear transport…
The derivation of the Maxwell equations is reproduced whereby magnetic charges are included. This ansatz yields the results: 1) Longitudinal Ampere forces in a differential magnetostatic force law are improbable. Otherwise an electric…
Anomalous transport processes in which the variance of the distance travelled does not necessarily increase linearly with time are modelled using the formalism of continuous time random walks. We compute particle propagators which have the…
We show that the charge-swapping phenomenon can be understood as a real valued oscillon carrying an excitation in imaginary direction in the target space. Furthermore, we introduce a two dimensional collective model which quantitatively…
Having the chiral anomaly induced magneto-transport phenomena extensively studied in single Weyl semimetal (WSM) as characterized by topological charge $n=1$, we here address the transport properties in the context of multi-Weyl semimetals…
Topology change in quantum gravity is considered. An exact wave function of the Universe is calculated for topological Chern-Simons 2+1 dimensional gravity. This wave function occurs as the effect of a quantum anomaly which leads to the…
A charged particle initially at rest in an external magnetic field starts to rotate when the magnetic field is switched off. This is a variant of the Feynman disc paradox, where the conservation of angular momentum is seemingly violated.…
We discuss new transport phenomena in the presence of both a strong magnetic field and a vortex field. Their interplay induces a charge distribution and a current along the magnetic field. We show that the associated transport coefficients…
We investigate the bounds between normal or anomalous effective diffusion for inertial particles transported by parallel flows. The infrared behavior of the fluid kinetic-energy spectrum, i.e. the possible presence of long-range…
In bilayers of two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors with stacking arrangements which lack inversion symmetry charge transfer between the layers due to layer-asymmetric interband hybridisation can generate a potential difference between the…
The anomalous Hall, Nernst and thermal Hall coefficients of Fe$_{3-x}$GeTe$_2$ display several features upon cooling, like a reversal in the Nernst signal below $T = 50$ K pointing to a topological transition (TT) associated to the…
In this paper we study the scattering of massive fermions off of smooth, spherically symmetric monopoles in $4d$ $SU(2)$ gauge theory. We propose a complete physical picture of the monopole-fermion interaction which encompasses all angular…
We study several properties of some new charges of asymptotically flat spacetimes. These dual supertranslation charges are akin to the magnetic large $U(1)$ charges in QED. In this paper we find the symmetries associated with these charges…
We discuss whether electric charge conservation may not hold in four-dimensional world in models with infinite extra dimensions, i.e., whether escape of charged particles from our brane is consistent with effectively four-dimensional…
A dc (e.g. electric) field with commensurate lattice direction turns a single particle band structure in $d=3$ dimensions into an infinite set of equally spaced irreducible $(d-1)=2$-dimensional Wannier-Stark (WS) band structures that are…
As the dimensions of a conductor approach the nano-scale, quantum effects will begin to dominate its behavior. This entails the exciting possibility of controlling the conductance of a device by direct manipulation of the electron wave…
