A electron of mass $m$, when electrically scatters of nucleus, of mass $M$, transfers momentum $q$ to the nucleus. The energy lost by electron is more than the energy gained by the nucleus. The resulting energy goes in exciting the atom to…

The elastic collective modes of a moir\'e superlattice arise not from vibrations of a rigid crystal but from the relative displacement between the constituent layers. Despite their similarity to acoustic phonons, these modes, called…
The electron-electron scattering increases the resistance of ballistic many-mode channels whose width is smaller than their length. We show that this increase saturates in the limit of infinitely long channels. Because the mechanisms of…
