We discuss the effects of fluctuations of the local density of charged dopants near a first order phase transition in electronic systems, that is driven by change of charge carrier density controlled by doping level. Using a generalization…
We study phase separation frustrated by the long-range Coulomb interaction in two dimensional electronic systems with emphasys in the case of a metallic and an insulating phase. We find that two-dimensional systems are more prone to…
We have derived the interaction between Jahn-Teller centers due to optical and acoustic phonons. Without Coulomb repulsion the model leads to a global phase separation at low temperature. At long distances Coulomb repulsion always dominates…
One dimensional non-equilibrium systems with short-range interaction can undergo phase transitions from homogeneous states to phase separated states as interaction ($\epsilon$) among particles is increased. One of the model systems where…

Phase separation and a tendency to form inhomogeneous structures seems to be a generic property of systems with strongly correlated electrons. After shortly summarising the existing theoretical results in this direction, I concentrate on…
Localized charged states and phase segregation are described in the framework of the phenomenological Ginzburg-Landau theory of phase transitions. The Coulomb interactions determines the charge distribution and the characteristic length of…
The theoretical model of the short-range interacting Luttinger liquid predicts a power-law scaling of the density of states and the momentum distribution function around the Fermi surface, which can be readily tested through tunneling…
Electronic, magnetic or structural inhomogeneities ranging in size from nanoscopic to mesoscopic scales seem endemic, and are possibly generic, to colossal magnetoresistance manganites and other transition metal oxides. We show here that an…
Recent computational studies of models for manganese oxides have revealed a rich phase diagram, not anticipated in early calculations in this context performed in the 1950's and 60's. In particular, the transition between the…
Phase separation, i.e., the coexistence of two different phases, is observed in many systems away from the coexistence curve of a first-order transition, leading to a stable heterogeneous phase or region. Examples include various quantum…
Competition between interactions on different length scales leads to self-organized textures in classical as well as quantum systems. This pattern formation phenomenon has been invoked to explain some intriguing properties of a large…
We study a class of models with long-range repulsive interactions of the generalized Coulomb form $V(r)\sim 1/r^{\alpha}$. We show that decreasing the interaction exponent in the regime $\alpha < d$ dramatically depresses the charge…
