We explore consequences of a hypothetical difference between active charges, which generate electric fields, and passive charges, which respond to them. A confrontation to experiments using atoms, molecules, or macroscopic matter yields…
The effective fractional charges like 17/4 or 19/4 are explained by our angular momentum theory. These fractions do not arise from the odd denominator rule. Due to spin polarization for both of these along the magnetic field, these states…

The persistent Hall voltage and current in an isolated annulus in a strong perpendicular magnetic field, at odd inverse filling factor, and in the presence of a weak constriction is obtained as a function of temperature, and flux piercing…
Fractional calculus is a couple of centuries old, but its development has been less embraced and it was only within the last century that a program of applications for physics started. Regarding quantum physics, it has been only in the…
The calculation of the band-gap by density-functional theory (DFT) methods is examined by considering the behavior of the energy as a function of number of electrons. It is found that the incorrect band-gap prediction with most approximate…
