In strongly correlated systems the strength of Coulomb interactions between electrons, relative to their kinetic energy, plays a central role in determining their emergent quantum mechanical phases. We perform resonant x-ray scattering on…
We argue that the well known Dynes formula [Dynes R C {\it et al.} 1978 {\it Phys. Rev. Lett.} {\bf 41} 1509] for the superconducting quasiparticle density of states, which tries to incorporate the lifetime broadening in an approximate way,…
Energy conservation in radiating processes requires, at the classical level, to take into account damping forces on the sources. These forces can be represented in terms of asymptotic data and lead to charges defined as integrals over the…
