We present experiments on nematic aerogel oscillating in superfluid $^3$He. This aerogel consists of nearly parallel mullite strands and is attached to a vibrating wire moving along the direction of the strands. Previous nuclear magnetic…
Correcting scan-positional errors is critical in achieving electron ptychography with both high resolution and high precision. This is a demanding and challenging task due to the sheer number of parameters that need to be optimized. For…
We consider two semi-infinite magnetoelectric media with constant dielectric permittivity separated by a planar interface, whose electromagnetic response is described by non-dynamical axion electrodynamics and investigate the radiation of a…
The process by which a nuclear projectile is decelerated by the electrons of the condensed matter it traverses is currently being studied by following the explicit dynamics of projectile and electrons from first principles in a simulation…
We present a multi-edge-length aperiodic tiling which exhibits 6--fold rotational symmetry. The edge lengths of the tiling are proportional to 1:$\tau$, where $\tau$ is the golden mean $\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}$. We show how the tiling can be…
We have derived a dispersion relation governing the surface plasmon resonance established along a planar interface between a metal and a chiral medium (chiral case). Resulting numerical solutions are compared with the well-known results…
Non-hermiticity presents a vast newly opened territory that harbors new physics and applications such as lasing and sensing. However, only non-Hermitian systems with real eigenenergies are stable, and great efforts have been devoted in…
We present an analysis of positron lifetimes in solids with unprecedented depth. Instead of modeling correlation effects with density functionals, we study positron-electron wave functions with long-range correlations included. This gives…
The design and performance of a low-noise, modular cryogenic probe, applicable to a wide range of measurements over a broad range of working frequencies, temperatures, and magnetic fields is presented. The design of the probe facilitates…
The mathematical foundation of quantum mechanics is built on linear algebra, while the application of nonlinear operators can lead to outstanding discoveries under some circumstances. In this Letter, we propose a model of square-root…
Recent electron spin resonance experiments on CaWO$_4$:Gd$^{3+}$ and on other magnetic impurities have demonstrated that sustained Rabi oscillations can be created by driving a magnetic moment with a microwave field frequency slightly…
We have studied the microstructure of a system of interacting Bose particles under zero boundary conditions and have found two possible orderings. One ordering is traditional and is characterized by the Bogolyubov dispersion law E^2 = (h^2…
We propose a possible microscopic explanation of the exhaustion of \rho_s of helium-II on the wall at T>T_{c} = 0.5 - 1 K and predict a possibility of the existence in He-II of the "dry" friction at T < T_{c}. Both of the effects connect…
We calculate the probability of the birth of a circular phonon (c-phonon) in He II by a c-photon of the resonator. It is shown that this probability has sharp maxima at frequencies, where the effective group velocity of the c-phonon is…
By solving the equations of ordinary and two-fluid hydrodynamics, we study the oscillatory modes in isotropic nonpolar dielectrics He I and He II in the presence of an alternating electric field…
Since the discovery of topological insulators a lot of research effort has been devoted to magnetic topological materials, in which non-trivial spin properties can be controlled by magnetic fields, culminating in a wealth of fundamental…
Solid state material at high pressure is prevalent throughout the Universe, and an understanding of the structure of matter under such extreme conditions, gleaned from x-ray diffraction, has been pursued for the best part of a century. The…
We investigate a variant of the SSH model consisting of an SSH chain with an embedded Aharonov-Bohm quantum ring. The embedded ring gives rise to domain wall states whose energy levels are in the band gap. The dependence of some of the…
A very simple method for determining the center (isomer) shift, CS, and the spectral area, A, of a M\"ossbauer spectrum is outlined. Its applicability is demonstrated in two examples viz. pyrite and a ternary sigma-phase Fe-Cr-Ni compound.…
The Laplace operator encodes the behavior of physical systems at vastly different scales, describing heat flow, fluids, as well as electric, gravitational, and quantum fields. A key input for the Laplace equation is the curvature of space.…
