It is well known that electrically neutral excitons can still be affected by crossed electric and magnetic fields that make them move in a direction perpendicular to both fields. We show that a similar effect appears in the absence of…

It has been known that a B=2 skyrmion is axially symmetric. We consider the Skyrme model coupled to gravity and obtain static axially symmetric black hole solutions numerically. The black hole skyrmion no longer has integer baryonic charge…
The interplay between exctions and vibrations is considered to be a key factor in determining the exciton transfer properties in light-harvesting exciton transfer complexes. Here we study this interplay theoretically in a model for exciton…

The quantum spin Hall effect is conventionally thought to require a strong spin-orbit coupling, producing an effective spin-dependent magnetic field. However, spin currents can also be present without transport of spins, for example, in…
