For generic mesoscopic systems like quantum dots or nanoparticles, we study the Anderson orthogonality catastrophe (AOC) and Fermi edge singularities in photoabsorption spectra in a series of two papers. In the present paper we focus on AOC…
We study Anderson orthogonality catastrophe (AOC) for an parabolic quantum dot (PQD), one of the experimentally realizable few-electron systems. The finite number of electrons in PQD causes AOC to be incomplete, with a broad distribution of…
The Anderson overlap catastrophe (AOC) is a many-body effect arising as a result of a shakeup of a Fermi sea due to an abrupt change of a local potential, leading to a power-law dependence of the density of states on energy. Here we…
In the thermodynamic limit, a many-body ground state has zero overlap with another state which is a slightly perturbed state of the original one, known as the Anderson orthogonality catastrophe (AOC). The amplitude of the overlap for two…
We study the Anderson orthogonality catastrophe (AOC) in finite conductors with diffusive disorder. The disorder averaged logarithm of $\chi$, the overlap between the ground states before and after adding a static impurity, is found to…
We prove a simple theorem on the overlap of the wavefunctions of a manybody system with and without a single impurity and show how, and under which conditions, this leads to the ``Orthogonality Catastrophe'' (OC) described by Anderson. A…
We derive rigorously the leading asymptotics of the so-called Anderson integral in the thermodynamic limit for one-dimensional, non-relativistic, spin-less Fermi systems. The coefficient, $\gamma$, of the leading term is computed in terms…
We propose schemes for unambiguous direct observation of Anderson orthogonality catastrophe (AOC) effects in a quantum dot coupled to a charge detector, and to estimate the strength of the AOC exponent $\alpha$. We show that certain…
The heart of every switched mode converter consists of several switching semiconductor elements. Due to their non-ideal behaviour there are ON state and switching losses heating up the silicon chip. That heat must effectively be transferred…
The Fermi edge singularity and the Anderson orthogonality catastrophe describe the universal physics which occurs when a Fermi sea is locally quenched by the sudden switching of a scattering potential, leading to a brutal disturbance of its…
According to Anderson's orthogonality catastrophe, the overlap of the $N$-particle ground states of a free Fermi gas with and without an (electric) potential decays in the thermodynamic limit. For the finite one-dimensional system various…
In the configuration in which two-level atoms with an initial thermal distribution of their states are sent in succession to a cavity sustaining a single mode of electromagnetic radiation, one atom leaving the cavity as the next one enters…
We investigate the statistical orthogonality catastrophe (StOC) in single-particle and many-body localized systems by studying the response of the many-body ground state to a local quench. Using scaling arguments and exact numerical…
This manuscript reports a semiconductor-sensitized thermal cell (STC) that converts ambient heat into electrical power while simultaneously reducing its own temperature under isothermal conditions. Using a printable…
We describe a novel phenomenon in which vortices are produced due to resonant oscillations of a scalar field which is driven by a periodically varying temperature T, with T remaining much below the critical temperature $T_c$. Also, in a…
MOSFETs based on wide band-gap semiconductors are suitable for operations at high temperature, at which additional atomic-scale processes that are benign at lower temperatures can get activated which results in device degradation. Recently…
Electric resistance in conducting media is related to heat (or entropy) production in presence of electric fields. In this paper, by using Araki's relative entropy for states, we mathematically define and analyze the heat production of free…
A general axion-electrodynamic formalism is presented on the phenomenological level when the environment is dielectric (permittivity and permeability assumed to be constants). Thereafter, a strong and uniform magnetic field is considered in…
The principle that heat spontaneously flows from higher temperature to lower temperature is a cornerstone of classical thermodynamics, often assumed to be independent of the sequence of interactions. While this holds true for macroscopic…
Anisotropy in temperature, chemical potential, or ion concentration, provides the fuel that feeds dynamical processes that sustain life. At the same time, anisotropy is a root cause of incurred losses manifested as entropy production. In…
