We consider spinless electrons in two dimensions with the bare spectrum $\epsilon({\bf p})=|p_x|+|p_y|$. In momentum space, the interactions among electrons have a finite range $q_0$, which is small compared to the Fermi momentum. A golden…
Recent measurements of electron escape from a non-equilibrium charged quantum dot are interpreted within a 2D separable model. The confining potential is derived from 3D self-consistent Poisson-Thomas-Fermi calculations. It is found that…
Electronic transport in Fermi liquids is usually Ohmic, because of momentum-relaxing scattering due to defects and phonons. These processes can become sufficiently weak in two-dimensional materials, giving rise to either ballistic or…
