A material whose electrons are correlated can affect electron dynamics across the interface with another material. Such a "proximity effect" can have several manifestations, from order parameter leakage to generated effective interactions.…
This article summarizes recent work on the many-body (beyond density functional theory) electronic structure of layered rare-earth nickelates, both in the context of the materials themselves and in comparison to the high-temperature…
Electron-electron interactions generally reduce the low temperature resistivity due to the screening of the impurity potential by the electron gas. In the weak-coupling limit, the magnitude of this screening effect is determined by the…

It can be argued that electron correlation, as a concept, deserves the same prominence in general chemistry as molecular orbital theory. We show how it acts as Nature's "chemical glue" at both the molecular and supramolecular levels.…

Exchange interaction strongly influences the long-range behaviour of localised electron orbitals and quantum tunneling amplitudes. It violates the oscillation theorem (creates extra nodes) and produces a power-law decay instead of the usual…
Optical microscopy and multi-particle tracking are used to investigate the spatially correlated motion of weakly charged silica spheres at an air-water interface for different area fraction $n$ occupied by the particles. When the area…
