A recently developed theory for the problem of Andreev reflection between a normal metal (N) and a multiband superconductor (MBS) assumes that the incident wave from the normal metal is coherently transmitted through several bands inside…
In conventional metals, electronic transport in a magnetic field is characterized by the motion of electrons along orbits on the Fermi surface, which usually causes an increase in the resistivity through averaging over velocities. Here we…

Through the study of the power spectra of a monochromatic light beam reflected by metallic mirrors, fluctuations in their reflectance is observed. The power spectra were obtained down to a factor $10^{-6}$ below the Standard Quantum Limit,…
A double planet system or planet binary undergoes eclipses that modify the reflective light curve. In the time domain, the eclipse events are fast and weak. This would make their signal difficult to find and recognize in the phase light…
We make a distinction between the spectroscopic and the mesoscopic conductance of closed systems. We show that the latter is not simply related to the Landauer conductance of the corresponding open system. A new ingredient in the theory is…
Effects of the backward scattering with large momentum transfer are examined in two-dimensional electron system with a special emphasis on electrons around ($\pi$,0), (0,$\pi$). The phase diagram is shown in the plane of temperature $T$ and…
The theory of hole superconductivity proposes that superconductivity originates in the fundamental electron-hole asymmetry of condensed matter and that it is an 'undressing' transition. Here we propose that a natural consequence of this…
A theory of light diffraction from planar quasicrystalline lattice with resonant scatterers is presented. Rich structure, absent in the periodic case, is found in specular reflection spectra, and interpreted as a specific kind of Wood…
In generic Hamiltonian systems with a mixed phase space chaotic transport may be directed and ballistic rather than diffusive. We investigate one particular model showing this behaviour, namely a spatially periodic billiard chain in which…
We show that noncollinear Andreev reflections can be induced at interfaces of semiconductor nanowires with spin-orbit coupling, Zeeman splitting and proximity-induced superconductivity. In a noncollinear local Andreev reflection, the spin…
In this work we present the results of a study of spectral statistics for a classically integrable system, namely the rectangle billiard. We show that the spectral statistics are indeed Poissonian in the semiclassical limit for almost all…
Beenakker noticed that the peculiar band structure of Dirac fermions in 2D solids allows for the specular Andreev reflection in these systems which has no analogue in other 2D electron systems. An interesting deformation of the Dirac…
The rotation of a black hole splits its spectrum in two, yet only one sector is known in the highly-damped regime. We find the second, at least partly oblate sector, with quasinormal modes approaching the total reflection frequencies…
We calculate magnetic field fluctuations above a conductor with a nonlocal response (spatial dispersion) and consider a large range of distances. The cross-over from ballistic to diffusive charge transport leads to reduced noise spectrum at…
The ``band-structure'' of a disordered stripe array is computed and compared, at a qualitative level, to angle resolved photoemission experiments on the cuprate high temperature superconductors. The low-energy states are found to be…
