Electrical conductance is quantized in units of $\sigma_{\rm Q}=2e^2/h$ in ballistic one-dimensional conductors. Similarly, thermal conductance at temperature $T$ is expected to be limited by the quantum of thermal conductance of one mode,…

Existence and properties of the electroweak phase transition in the early universe depend strongly on the mass of the Higgs scalar M_H. There is presumably no true symmetry restoration at high temperature. Nevertheless, a first order phase…

We calculate the thermal conductivity of electrons produced by electron-electron Coulomb scattering in a strongly degenerate electron gas taking into account the Landau damping of transverse plasmons. The Landau damping strongly reduces…

We show that a phase transition may take place in the early Universe at a temperature $T_*$ via a Standard Model singlet scalar field which happens to couple to right handed neutrinos (RHN) resulting a temperature dependent mass for them…
We study the 21-cm differential brightness temperature in the presence of primordial helical magnetic fields for redshift $z=10-30$. We argue that the $\alpha$-effect that sets in at earlier time can be helpful in lowering the gas…

Superconductivity, the lossless flow of electric current, occurs typically at very low temperatures. A possible exception is highly pressurized hydrogen, for which room temperature superconductivity has been predicted. However, as a result…
We study the transport of electrons through a long quantum wire connecting two bulk leads. As the electron density in the wire is lowered, the Coulomb interactions lead to short-range crystalline ordering of electrons. In this Wigner…
We calculate the dissipative dc conductivity of a two-dimensional electron system in a magnetic field for the situation when its effective temperature exceeds the temperature of the acoustic phonon system. We demonstrate that at…
