Correlated electron systems often show strong bosonic fluctuations, e.g., of antiferromagnetic nature, around a large wave vector such as $\mathbf{q}=(\pi,\pi\ldots)$. These fluctuations can give rise to vertex corrections to the optical…
We carefully revisit the electron-boson scattering problem, going beyond popular semi-classical treatments. By providing numerically exact results valid at finite temperatures, we demonstrate the existence of a regime of electron-boson…
Bad metals have a large resistivity without being strongly disordered. In many bad metals the Drude peak moves away from zero frequency as the resistivity becomes large at increasing temperatures. We catalogue the position and width of the…
Using dc transport and wide-band spectroscopic ellipsometry techniques we study localization phenomena in highly disordered metallic \beta-Ta films grown by rf sputtering deposition. The dc transport study implies non-metallic behavior…
We investigate the properties of a system where the itinerant electrons coexist and interact with the preformed local pairs. Using the nonperturbative continuous unitary transformation technique we show that Andreev-type scattering between…
Sub-dimensional localization, also known as directional localization, arises when 2d electrons are subject to a periodic potential and incommensurate magnetic field which cause them to become exponentially localized along one crystal axis,…
Plutonium is a critically important material as the behavior of its 5f-electrons stands midway between the metallic-like itinerant character of the light actinides and localized atomic-core-like character of the heavy actinides. The…
We discuss the influence of the electromagnetic environment and the electron-electron interaction on the weak localization correction to the conductivity of a disordered metal. The theory of this phenomenon for sufficiently high…
We investigate the space distribution of carrier density and the compressibility of two-dimensional (2D) electron systems by using the local density approximation. The strong correlation is simulated by the local exchange and correlation…
Quantum acoustics -- a recently developed framework parallel to quantum optics -- establishesa nonperturbative and coherent treatment of the electron-phonon interaction in real space. The quantum-acoustical representation reveals a…
Antiferromagnetic or charge density wave fluctuations couple with light through the recently discovered {\pi}-ton contribution to the optical conductivity, and quite generically constitute the dominant vertex corrections in low-dimensional…
Fundamental electronic principles underlying all transition metal compounds are the symmetry and filling of the $d$-electron orbitals and the influence of this filling on structural configurations and responses. Here we use a sensitive…
Electron transport through amorphous monatomic metallic structures generated earlier by molecular dynamics simulations is studied numerically. The interference of electronic trajectories backscattered by the structural disorder probes the…
Spatial fluctuations of the local electric field induced by a constant applied electric field in composite media are studied analytically and numerically. It is found that the density of states for the fields exhibit sharp peaks and abrupt…
Aspects of electron critical differentiation are clarified in the proximity of the Mott insulator. The flattening of the quasiparticle dispersion appears around momenta $(\pi,0)$ and $(0,\pi)$ on square lattices and determines the…
Localization and dephasing of conduction electrons in a low carrier density ferromagnet due to scattering on magnetic fluctuations is considered. We claim the existence of the "mobility edge", which separates the states with fast diffusion…
We have investigated the charge dynamics and the nature of many-body interactions in La- and Pr- doped CaFe2As2. From the infrared part of the optical conductivity, we discover that the scattering rate of mobile carriers above 200 K…
This is a study of phase-coherent conduction through a ballistic point contact with disordered leads. The disorder imposes mesoscopic (sample-to-sample) fluctuations and weak-localization corrections on the conductance, and also leads to…
Diffusion of electrons in two-dimensional disordered systems with spin-orbit interactions is investigated numerically. Asymptotic behaviors of the second moment of the wave packet and of the temporal auto-correlation function are examined.…
We show that in periodically driven systems, along with the delta-peak at the driving frequency, the spectral density of fluctuations displays extra features. These can be peaks or dips with height quadratic in the driving amplitude, for…
