We extend the static theory of disorder-induced exponential decay of the averaged Green function of a quantum charged particle in a classical one-component plasma to the dynamic regime by incorporating the temporal evolution of the ionic…
How atoms in covalent solids rearrange over a medium-range length-scale during amorphization is a long pursued question whose answer could profoundly shape our understanding on amorphous (a-) networks. Based on ab-intio calculations and…
Heisenberg's intuition was that there should be a tradeoff between measuring a particle's position with greater precision and disturbing its momentum. Recent formulations of this idea have focused on the question of how well two…
We present a rigorous proof of an ordering transition for a two-component two-dimensional antiferromagnet with nearest and next-nearest neighbor interactions. The low-temperature phase contains two states distinguished by local order among…
A novel feature for control of carrier mobility is explored in an order-disorder separated double quantum ring, where the two rings thread different magnetic fluxes. Here we use simple tight-binding formulation to describe the system. In…
In this paper we study the problem of a possibility to use quantum observables to describe a possible combination of the order effect with sequential reproducibility for quantum measurements. By the order effect we mean a dependence of…
We consider stochastic dynamical systems defined by differential equations with a uniform random time delay. The latter equations are shown to be equivalent to deterministic higher-order differential equations: for an $n$-th order equation…
High entropy oxides (HEOs) are a rapidly growing class of compositionally complex ceramics in which configurational disorder is engineered to unlock novel functionality. While average crystallographic symmetry is often retained, local…
Fluctuation-induced forces, such as the Critical Casimir Effect (CCE), are fundamental mechanisms driving organization and self-assembly near second-order phase transitions. The existence of a comparable, universal force for systems…
As pointed out by Linus Pauling in his classic work on the relationship between crystal packing and ionic radius ratio, a difference in atomic size can be accommodated more readily by an ordered structure than by a disordered one. Because…
The electronic structure of heavy elements, when described in a space-time which the metric is affected by the electromagnetic interaction, presents instabilities. These instabilities increase with the atomic number, and above a critical…
In various types of many-particle systems, bidispersity is frequently used to avoid spontaneous ordering in particle configuration. In this study, the relation between bidispersity and disorder degree of particle configuration is…
We present a simple theory accounting for two central observations in a recent experiment on quantum coarsening and collective dynamics on a programmable quantum simulator [T. Manovitz et al., Nature \textbf{638}, 86 (2025)]: an apparent…
A causal set is a partially ordered set on a countably infinite ground-set such that each element is above finitely many others. A natural extension of a causal set is an enumeration of its elements which respects the order. We bring…
We consider an array of non-locally coupled oscillators on a ring, which for equally spaced units possesses a Kuramoto-Battogtokh chimera regime and a synchronous state. We demonstrate that disorder in oscillators positions leads to a…
Many real objects are modeled as discrete sets of points, such as corners or other salient features. For our main applications in chemistry, points represent atomic centers in a molecule or a solid material. We study the problem of…
A fundamental problem of out-of-equilibrium physics is the speed at which the order parameter grows upon crossing a phase transition. Here, we investigate the dynamics of ordering in a Fermi gas undergoing a density-wave phase transition…
The destruction of quasi-long range crystalline order as a consequence of strong disorder effects is shown to accompany the strict localization of all classical plasma modes of one-dimensional Wigner crystals at T=0. We construct a phase…

Equation of state for systems with particles self-assembling into aggregates is derived within a mesoscopic theory combining density functional and field-theoretic approaches. We focus on the effect of mesoscopic fluctuations in the…
