We determine the lowest bound-state pole of the density-density correlator in the scalar Wick-Cutkosky model where two equal-mass constituents interact via the exchange of mesons. This is done by employing the worldline representation of…
Electronic states in silicon quantum dots are examined theoretically, taking into account a multivalley structure of the conduction band. We find that (i) exchange interaction hardly works between electrons in different valleys. In…
Electronic states localized at domain walls between ferromagnetically ordered phases in two-dimensional electron systems are generated by moderate spin-orbit coupling. The spin carried by these states depends on the slope of the magnetic…
