Periodic spatial modulations of the superfluid density, or pair density waves, have now been widely detected in unconventional superconductors, either as the primary or the secondary states accompanying charge density waves. Understanding…
We revisit the question of the convergence of lattice perturbation theory for a pure SU(3) lattice gauge theory in 4 dimensions. Using a series for the average plaquette up to order 10 in the weak coupling parameter beta^{-1}, we show that…

Superfluidity, liquid flow without friction, is familiar in helium. The first evidence for "supersolidity", its analogue in quantum solids, came from recent torsional oscillator (TO) measurements involving 4-He. At temperatures below 200…
Textbooks introduce the Debye temperature to simplify the integration of the heat capacity. This approach gives the impression that the Debye temperature is a parameter which makes the integration more convenient. The Debye frequency cut…

Periodic nanostructures are fundamental elements in optical instrumentation as well as basis structures in integrated electronic circuits. Decreasing sizes and increasing complexity of nanostructures have made roughness a limiting parameter…
Recent heat-capacity experiments show quite unambiguously the existence of a liquid $^3$He phase adsorbed on graphite. This liquid is stable at an extremely low density, possibly one of the lowest found in Nature. Previous theoretical…

To estimate the diffusion constant $D$ of particles in a plasma, we develop a method that is based on the mean free path $\lambda$ for scatterings with momentum transfer $q >~ T$. Using this method, we estimate $\lambda$ and $D$ for squarks…
We study self-avoiding walks on the square lattice restricted to a square box of side $L$ weighted by a length fugacity without restriction of their end points. This models a confined polymer in dilute solution. The model admits a phase…
Sigma-phase Fe0.525Cr0.455Ni0.020 alloy was studied by means of M\"ossbauer spectrometry in the temperature range of 5-293 K. The average center shift, <CS>, determined from the recorded M\"ossbauer spectra was shown to significantly…
We made heat-capacity measurements of two dimensional (2D) $^3$He adsorbed on graphite preplated with monolayer $^4$He in a wide temperature range (0.1 $\leq T \leq$ 80 mK) at densities higher than that for the 4/7 phase (= 6.8 nm$^{-2}$).…
