Magnetic impurities embedded in inert solids can exhibit long coherence times and interact with one another via their intrinsic anisotropic dipolar interaction. We argue that, as a consequence of these properties, disordered ensembles of…

We investigate the dynamical interplay between currents and electromagnetic fields in frequency-dependent transport through a single-channel quantum wire with an impurity potential in the presence of electron-electron interactions. We…

In equilibrium, the number of conduction electrons in a solid substance depends on the conformation of the atoms in the substance. When a magnetic field is applied, it takes time for the system to come to a new equilibrium with a new…

Based on a recent proposal [O.P. Sushkov, Phys. Rev. B 64, 155319 (2001)], we relate the quantum conductance through a sample in which electrons are strongly correlated to the persistent current of a large ring, composed of the sample and a…
