Correlated charge inhomogeneity breaks the electron-hole symmetry in two-dimensional (2D) bilayer heterostructures which is responsible for non-zero drag appearing at the charge neutrality point. Here we report Coulomb drag in novel drag…

Ferroelectrics under suitable electric boundary conditions can present a negative capacitance response, whereby the total voltage drop across the ferroelectric opposes the externally applied bias. When the ferroelectric is in a…

From the fundamental requirement of causality, we derive a rigorous criterion of negative refraction (left-handedness). This criterion imposes the lower limits on the electric and magnetic losses in the region of the negative refraction. If…
