A remarkably long-lived spin plasmon may exist in two-dimensional electron liquids with imbalanced spin up and spin down population. Predictions for this interesting mode by Agarwal et al. [Phys. Rev. B 90, 155409 (2014)] are based on the…
We study the dynamics of a quantum particle coupled to dissipative (ohmic) environments, such as an electron liquid. For some choices of couplings, the properties of the particle can be described in terms of an effective mass. A particular…
We argue that Coulomb blockade phenomena are a useful probe of the cross-over to strong correlation in quantum dots. Through calculations at low density using variational and diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (up to r_s ~ 55), we find that the…
We study plasmonic excitations in the limit of few electrons, in one-atom thick sodium chains, and characterize them based on collectivity. We also compare the excitations to classical localised plasmon modes and find for the longitudinal…
