The effects of thermal elastic fluctuations in rubber materials are examined. It is shown that, due to an interplay with the incompressibility constraint, these fluctuations qualitatively modify the large-deformation stress-strain relation,…
When charge current passes through a normal metal that exhibits spin Hall effect, spin accumulates at the edge of the sample in the transverse direction. We predict that this spin accumulation, or spin voltage, enables quantum tunneling of…
In this paper, a microscopic theory of magnetic-interaction-induced pairing in superconductivity of metals was developed on the basis of four idealized assumptions: (1) only a small number of electrons are involved in superconductivity; (2)…
We investigate theoretically the Seebeck effect in materials close to a ferromagnetic quantum critical point to explain anomalous behaviour at low temperatures. It is found that the main effect of spin fluctuations is to enhance the…
