In quantum dots or molecules with vibrational degrees of freedom the electron-vibron coupling renormalizes the electronic charging energy. For sufficiently strong coupling, the renormalized charging energy can become negative. Here, we…
We consider free electrons in rectangular quantum dots, with either hard wall boundary conditions or anharmonic confinement. In both cases, due to finite size effects, a homogeneous electric field applied along one of the rectangular axis…

Plane wave density functional theory codes generally assume periodicity in all three dimensions. This causes difficulties when studying charged systems, for instance energies per unit cell become infinite, and, even after being renormalised…
We develop an analytical theory to explain the experimentally-observed morphological transitions of giant vesicles induced by AC electric fields (1). The model treats the inner and suspending media as lossy dielectrics, while the membrane…

In the presence of strong density stratification, hydromagnetic turbulence attains qualitatively new properties: the formation of magnetic flux concentrations. We review here the theoretical foundations of this mechanism in terms of what is…
Discontinuous changes in the electronic structure upon infinitesimal changes to the Hamiltonian are demonstrated. Remarkably, these are revealed in one and two electron molecular systems if the realm of the nuclear charge is extended to be…
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,…
We introduce the idea that the electronic band structure of a charge density wave system may mimic the electronic structure of graphene. In that case a class of materials quite different from graphene might be opened up to exploit…
