We investigate a two-dimensional electron model with Rashba spin-orbit interaction where the coupling constant $g=g(n)$ depends on the electronic density. It is shown that this dependence may drive the system unstable towards a long-wave…

A Charge Density Wave (CDW) submitted to an electric field displays a strong shear deformation because of pinning at the lateral surfaces of the sample. This CDW transverse pinning was recently observed but has received little attention…
We study the steady-state low-temperature dynamics of an elastic line in a disordered medium below the depinning threshold. Analogously to the equilibrium dynamics, in the limit T->0, the steady state is dominated by a single configuration…

Plane wave density functional theory codes generally assume periodicity in all three dimensions. This causes difficulties when studying charged systems, for instance energies per unit cell become infinite, and, even after being renormalised…
We experimentally study linear and nonlinear waves on the surface of a fluid covered by an elastic sheet where both tension and flexural waves take place. An optical method is used to obtain the full space-time wave field, and the…

Charge-density-wave systems have a static modulation of the electronic charge at low temperatures when they enter an ordered state. While they have been studied for decades in equilibrium, it is only recently that they have been examined in…
