The $\eta$ meson can be bound to atomic nuclei. Experimental search is discussed in the form of final state interaction for the reactions $dp\to{^3\text{He}}\eta$ and $dd\to{^4\text{He}}\eta$. For the latter case tensor polarized deuterons…
We consider a non-relativistic two-dimensional (2D) hydrogen-like atom in a weak, static, uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the atomic plane. Within the framework of the Rayleigh-Schr\"odinger perturbation theory, using the Sturmian…
We consider a possibility of capture of a heavy charged massive particle $\chi^-$ by the nucleus leading to appearance of a bound state. A simple analytic formula allowing to calculate binding energies of the $N\chi^-$ bound state for…
We prove that the maximum number $N_c$ of non-relativistic electrons that a nucleus of charge $Z$ can bind is less than $1.22Z+3Z^{1/3}$. This improves Lieb's upper bound $N_c<2Z+1$ [{\it Phys. Rev. A} {\bf 29}, 3018-3028 (1984)] when $Z\ge…
Various models of charged particles interacting with a quantized, ultraviolet cutoff radiation field (but not with each other) are investigated. Upper and lower bounds are found for the self- or ground state-energies without mass…
We discuss how to construct a tight binding model Hamiltonan for the simplest possible solid, composed of hydrogen-like atoms. A single orbital per atom is not sufficient because the on-site electron-electron repulsion mixes in higher…
We consider bosons interacting through a narrow $s$-wave resonance. Such a resonance is characterized by an infinite scattering length and a large and negative effective range $r_0$. We argue that any number $N\ge3$ of bosons can form a…
We demonstrate that the model of zero-range potentials can be successfully employed for the description of attached electrons in atomic and molecular anions, for example, negatively charged carbon clusters. To illustrate the capability of…
The Nijmegen OBE potential D is SU(3) rotated to model the strangeness -2 sector of the baryon-baryon force. Soft core repulsion is introduced to regularize the singular nature of the OBE functions. The strength of the $^1$S$_0$ $t=0$…
The two-dimensional hydrogen-like atom in a constant magnetic field is considered. It is found that this is actually two separate problems. One for which the magnetic field causes an effective attraction between the nucleus and the electron…
We study the binding energies of spin-isospin saturated nuclei with nucleon number $8 \le A \le 100$ in semiclassical Monte Carlo many-body simulations. The model Hamiltonian consists of, (i) nucleon kinetic energy, (ii) a nucleon-nucleon…
This paper establishes new bounds on the maximum number of electrons $ N_c(Z) $ that an atom with nuclear charge $Z$ can bind. Specifically, we show that \begin{equation*} N_c(Z) < 1.1185Z + O(Z^{1/3}) \end{equation*} with an explicit bound…
We measured the binding energy of N$_2$, CO, O$_2$, CH$_4$, and CO$_2$ on non-porous (compact) amorphous solid water (np-ASW), of N$_2$ and CO on porous amorphous solid water (p-ASW), and of NH$_3$ on crystalline water ice. We were able to…
A two-level atom coupled to the radiation field is studied. First principles in physics suggest that the coupling function, representing the interaction between the atom and the radiation field, behaves like $\vert k \vert^{- 1/2}$, as the…
In pursuing the essential elements of nuclear binding, we compute ground-state properties of atomic nuclei with up to $A=20$ nucleons, using as input a leading order pionless effective field theory Hamiltonian. A variational Monte Carlo…
The equilibrium binding energy is an important factor in the design of materials and devices. However, it presents great computational challenges for materials built up from nanostructures. Here we investigate the binding-energy scaling law…
It is shown that at least one particle is bound in the $N$-particle semi-relativistic Pauli-Fierz model with negative potential $V(\bx)$. It is assumed that the particles have no spin and obey the Bose or Boltzmann statistics, and the one…
Deeply bound KNN, KNNN and KNNNN states are discussed. The effective force exerted by the K meson on the nucleons is calculated with static nucleons. Next the binding energies are obtained by solving the Schrodinger equation or by…
Binding energies and other global properties of nuclei in the middle of the $pf$ shell, such as M1, E2 and Gamow-Teller sum rules, have been obtained using a new Shell Model code (NATHAN) written in quasi-spin formalism and using a…
In the context of the massless Nelson model, we prove that two non-relativistic nucleons interacting with a massless meson field do not bind when a sufficiently strong Coulomb repulsion between the nucleons is added to the Hamiltonian. The…
