There has been much recent work on the spectrum of the random non-hermitean Hamiltonian which models the physics of vortex line pinning in superconductors. This note is loosely based on the talk I gave at the conference "New Directions in…
As a first step towards a microscopic understanding of the effective interaction between colloidal particles suspended in a solvent we study the wetting behavior of one-component fluids at spheres and fibers. We describe these phenomena…
Evidence is offered for log-periodic (in time) fluctuations in the S&P 500 stock index during the three years prior to the October 27, 1997 "correction". These fluctuations were expected on the basis of a discretely scale invariant rupture…
A review is given of a relativistic non-Abelian gauge theory approach to the physics of spin-charge separation in doped quantum antiferromagnetic planar systems, proposed recently by the authors. Emphasis is put on the effects of constant…
Ground state of the bond-random antiferromagnetic S=1 Heisenberg chain with the biquadratic interaction -\beta\sum_i(S_i S_i+1)^2 is investigated by means of the exact-diagonalization method and the finite-size-scaling analysis. It is shown…
We describe a simple ansatz to approximate the low temperature behavior of proteins and peptides by a mean-field-like model which is analytically solvable. For a small peptide some thermodynamic quantities are calculated and compared with…
We present detailed Monte Carlo results for a two-dimensional grain boundary model on a lattice. The effective Hamiltonian of the system results from the microscopic interaction of grains with orientations described by spins of unit length,…
The generalization of Kasteleyn and Fortuin clusters formalism is introduced in XY (or more generally O(n)) models. Clusters geometrical structure may be linked to spin physical properties as correlation functions. To investigate…
We discuss the use of Tsallis generalized mechanics in simulated annealing algorithms. For a small peptide it is shown that older implementations are not more effective than regular simulated annealing in finding ground state…
A simple pseudopotential model is proposed, which allows the phonon spectra and temperature dependence of the lattice heat capacity of Ir and Rh be described with a high enough accuracy. A careful comparison of the calculated and…
For the first time the phenomenon of cellular structure coarsening are consistently analysed from the positions of kinetic, hydrodynamic and stochastodynamic theories of nonequilibrium statistical systems. Thereby micro-, meso- and…
We have postulated a single pole for the self-energy, $\Sigma(\vec{k},\omega)$, looking for the consequences on the one-particle Green function, $G(\vec{k},\omega)$ in the Hubbard model. We find that $G(\vec{k},\omega)$ satisfies the first…
We compute the single-particle inverse lifetime, along with the conductivity-derived scattering rate, for a metallic system in an s-wave superconducting state. When both electron-phonon and electron-impurity scattering are included, we find…
The dynamics of a random (quenched) field Ising model (in two dimension) at zero temperature in the presence of an additional sinusoidally oscillating homogeneous (in space) magnetic field has been studied by Monte Carlo simulation using…
We consider here the problem of a "giant spin", with spin quantum number S>>1, interacting with a set of microscopic spins. Interactions between the microscopic spins are ignored. This model describes the low-energy properties of magnetic…
Within the $t$-$J$ model, we study the doping dependence of antiferromagnetism in the copper oxide materials by considering quantum fluctuations of spinons in the random-phase-approximation. The staggered magnetization vanishes around…
The charge dynamics of the copper oxide materials in the underdoped and optimal doped regimes is studied within the framework of the fermion-spin theory. The conductivity spectrum shows the non-Drude behavior at low energies and unusual…
Femtosecond pump-probe second-harmonic generation (SHG) and transient linear reflectivity measurements were carried out on polycrystalline Cu, Ag and Au in air to analyze whether the electron temperature affects Fresnel factors or nonlinear…
In this paper we consider the application of electromagnetic theory to the analysis of the Scanning Near-field Optical Microscope (SNOM) in order to predict experimentally observable quantities such as the transmission or reflection…
We constructed an uncountable family of classical lattice-gas models with unique ground-state measures which are not uniquely ergodic measures of any tiling system, or more generally, of any system of finite type. Therefore, we have shown…
