The Rossiter-McLaughlin (RM) effect has been widely used to estimate the sky-projected spin-orbit angle, $\lambda$, of transiting planetary systems. Most of the previous analysis assume that the host stars are rigid rotators in which the…
We consider a resonant level coupled to a chiral Luttinger liquid which can be realized, e.g., at a fractional quantum Hall edge. We study the dependence of the occupation probability n of the level on its energy \epsilon for various values…
It is shown that the local density of states (LDOS), measured in an Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) experiment, at a single tip position contains oscillations as a function of Energy, due to quasiparticle interference, which is related…
We discuss theoretically how electrons confined to two dimensions in a delta-doped heterostructure can arrange themselves in a droplet-like spatial distribution due to disorder and screening effects when their density is low. We apply this…
The conductance resulting from resonant tunneling through a droplet of $N \sim 30$ electrons is used to measure its chemical potential $\mu_N$. Abrupt shifts of $\mu_N$ occur at sharply defined values of the magnetic field, at which the…
When a mixture of propylene glycol and water is deposited on a clean glass slide, it forms a droplet of a given apparent contact angle rather than spreading as one would expect on such a high-energy surface. The droplet is stabilized by a…
We study how local rearrangements alter droplet stresses within flowing dense quasi-two-dimensional emulsions at area fractions $\phi \geq 0.88$. Using microscopy, we measure droplet positions while simultaneously using their deformed shape…
The emergence of glassy behavior of electrons is investigated for systems close to the disorder and/or interaction-driven metal-insulator transitions. Our results indicate that Anderson localization effects strongly stabilize such glassy…

Exchange of orbital angular momentum between Laguerre-Gaussian beam of light and center-of-mass motion of an atom or molecule is well known. We show that orbital angular momentum of light can also be transferred to the internal electronic…
We introduce a method to sample the orientational distribution function in computer simulations. The method is based on the exact torque balance equation for classical many-body systems of interacting anisotropic particles in equilibrium.…
Orbital angular momentum (OAM) of light is an attractive degree of freedom for funda- mentals studies in quantum mechanics. In addition, the discrete unbounded state-space of OAM has been used to enhance classical and quantum…
Electromagnetic radiation can be emitted not only by particle charges but also by magnetic moments and higher electric and magnetic multipoles. However experimental proofs of this fundamental fact are extremely scarce. In particular, the…
We study, analytically and numerically, mesoscopic fluctuations of the off-diagonal matrix elements of the orbital angular momentum between the nearest energy levels $i=(n_{x},n_{y}) $ and $f=(k_{x},k_{y}) $ in a rectangular box with…
A new class of analytic and parameter-free, strongly correlated wave functions of simple functional form is derived for few electrons in two-dimensional quantum dots under high magnetic fields. These wave functions are constructed through…
A variational method for many electron system is applied to momentum distribution calculations. The method uses a generating two-electron geminal and the amplitudes of the occupancies of one particle natural orbitals as variational…
We demonstrate that the angular distribution of electrons knocked out from an atom by a fast charge particle is determined not only by dipole but also by quadrupole transitions, the contribution of which can be considerably enhanced as…
We investigate the geometry of typical equilibrium configurations for a lattice gas in a finite macroscopic domain with attractive, long range Kac potentials. We focus on the case when the system is below the critical temperature and has a…
