Superconductivity in some metals at low temperature is known to arise from an electron-phonon coupling mechanism. Such the mechanism enables an effective attraction to bind two mobile electrons together, and even form a kind of pairing…
We examine the one-dimensional motion of two similarly charged particles under the influence of only two forces, i.e. their Coulombic repulsion and their gravitational attraction, using the relativistic equation of motion. We find that when…
Nonequilibrium conditions offer novel routes to superconductivity that are not available at equilibrium. For example, by engineering nonequilibrium electronic populations, pairing may develop between electrons in different energy bands. A…
Collective, low-energy excitations in quasi-two-dimensional d-wave superconductors are analyzed. While the long-range Coulomb interaction shifts the charge-density-wave and phase modes up to the plasma energy, the spin-density-wave…

The BCS results for the superconducting gap $\Delta$ and $T_C$ are obtained from a one-particle model. Superconductivity appears when the electronic energy gains of the band structure surpass the energy needed for atomic vibrations or…
The electrostatic force on a charge above a neutral conductor is generally attractive. Surprisingly, that force becomes repulsive in certain geometries (Levin & Johnson 2011), a result that follows from an energy theorem in electrostatics.…

It is well known that the Casimir force between two half-spaces is dictated by their electromagnetic properties. In particular, when one of the half-spaces is mainly metallic or dielectric and the other is mainly magnetic, it is possible to…
We calculate in a linear response the admittance of a quantum dot out of equilibrium. The interaction between two electrons with opposite spins simultaneously residing on the resonant level is modeled by an Anderson Hamiltonian. The…
Two rings with currents ia and ib become magnets that can either attract or repel each other. If mechanical work is extracted from this ring system, either by bringing closer the rings during an attraction or by separating them as the…

The physics of an electron solid, held on a cryogenic liquid surface by a pressing electric field, is examined in a low-density regime that has not been explored before. We consider the effect of the pressing field in distorting the surface…
It is shown that it is possible for bound fermions on a cosmic string to form a superconducting state. Due to the attractive force between them, particles moving in opposite directions along the string form bound pairs. This involves a…
