We show that Friedel charge oscillation near an interface opens a gap at the Fermi energy for electrons with wave vectors perpendicular to the interface. If the Friedel gaps on two sides of the interface are different, a nonequlibrium…
We consider a transmission of electrons through a two-dimensional ballistic point contact in the low-conductance regime below the 0.7-anomaly. The scattering of electrons by Friedel oscillations of charge density results in a contribution…
We analyze the spectrum of electron density oscillations in an interacting one-dimensional electron system with an impurity. The system's inhomogeneity is characterized by different values of Fermi wave vectors $k_F=k_{L/R}$ on left/right…
A single-channel quantum wire with two well-separated Zeeman subbands and in the presence of a weak spin-orbit coupling is considered. An impurity level which is split off the upper subband is degenerate with the continuum of the lower…
It is known that the presence of the Fermi sea modifies the scattering of an electron from a point-like impurity. This is due to the Friedel oscillations of the electron density around the impurity. These oscillations create an additional…
Electrons most often organize into Fermi-liquid states in which electron-electron interactions play an inessential role. A well known exception is the case of one-dimensional (1D) electron systems (1DES). In 1D the electron Fermi-surface…
We study theoretically electronic transport through a contact of a quantum wire with 2D or 3D leads and find that if the contact is not smooth and adiabatic then the conduction is strongly suppressed below a threshold voltage $V_T$, while…
Strong electron interactions in solids increase effective mass, and shrink the electronic bands [1]. One of the most unique and robust experimental facts about iron-based superconductors [2-4] is the renormalization of the conduction band…
The electron--electron scattering does not affect the electrical current in Galilean--invariant systems. We show that nevertheless electron--electron collisions may contribute to the electric resistivity of systems with parabolic spectrum…
A metal near the topological transition can be loosely viewed as consisting of two groups of electrons. First group are "bulk" electrons occupying most of the Brillouin zone. Second group are electrons with wave vectors close to the…
Short-range electron-electron interactions are incorporated into the network model of the integer quantum Hall effect. In the presence of interactions, the electrons, propagating along one link, experience exchange scattering off the…
We study the electron transport in three terminal junctions and quantum rings looking for the classical deflection of electron trajectories in presence of intersubband scattering. We indicate that although the Aharonov-Bohm oscillations and…
The origin of interband electron pairing responsible for enhancing superconductivity and the factors controlling its strength were examined. We show that the interband electron pairing is a natural consequence of breaking down the…
We study how well-known effects of the long-ranged Friedel oscillations are affected by strong electronic correlations. We first show that their range and amplitude are significantly suppressed in strongly renormalized Fermi liquids. We…
We demonstrate that conductance anomalies can arise in a clean, adiabatic quantum point contact when a channel is partially transmitting. Even for a smooth barrier potential, backscattering induces Friedel oscillations that, via electron…
Electrons in condensed matter may transition into a variety of broken-symmetry phase states due to electron-electron interactions. Applying diverse mean-field approximations to the interaction term is arguably the simplest way to identify…
Effects due to the proximity of a superconductor has motivated a lot of research work in the last several decades both from theoretical and experimental point of view. In this review we are going to describe the physics of systems…
A two-dimensional (2D) electron gas formed in a modulation-doped GaAs/AlGaAs single quantum well undergoes a first-order transition when the first excited subband is occupied with electrons, as the Fermi level is tuned into resonance with…
We investigate quantum corrections to the conductivity due to the interference of electron-electron (electron-phonon) scattering and elastic electron scattering in weakly disordered conductors. The electron-electron interaction results in a…
Electron-electron interactions give rise to the correction, \delta\sigma^{int}(\omega), to the ac magnetoconductivity, \sigma(\omega), of a clean 2D electron gas that is periodic in \omega_c^{-1}, where \omega_c is the cyclotron frequency.…
