Pulsar timing arrays have recently observed a stochastic gravitational wave background at nano-Hertz frequencies. This raises the question whether the signal can be of primordial origin. Supercooled first-order phase transitions are among…
We consider the effect of electron correlations on tunneling from a 2D electron layer in a magnetic field parallel to the layer. A tunneling electron can exchange its momentum with other electrons, which leads to an exponential increase of…
