Using exact numerical techniques we investigate the nature of excitonic (electron-hole) bound states and the development of exciton coherence in the one-dimensional half-filled extended Falicov-Kimball model. The ground-state phase diagram…
The effects of the electromagnetic (e.m.) electron-electron interactions in half-filled graphene are investigated in terms of a lattice gauge theory model. By using exact Renormalization Group methods and lattice Ward Identities, we show…
We investigate the density instabilities present in the infinite-U Hubbard-Holstein model both at zero and finite momenta as well as the occurrence of Cooper instabilities with a specific emphasis on the role of long-range Coulomb forces.…
The Coulomb impurity problem of graphene, in the absence of a magnetic field, displays discrete scale invariance. Applying a magnetic field introduces a new magnetic length scale $\ell$ and breaks discrete scale invariance. Moreover, a…
Vertical heterostructures combining different layered materials offer novel opportunities for applications and fundamental studies of collective behavior driven by inter-layer Coulomb coupling. Here we report heterostructures comprising a…
Motivated by the observation that electrons in graphene, in the hydrodynamic regime of transport, can be treated as a two-dimensional ultra-relativistic gas with very low shear viscosity, we examine the existence of the Rayleigh-B\'enard…
In thermodynamic equilibrium, current in metallic systems is carried by electronic states near the Fermi energy whereas the filled bands underneath contribute little to conduction. Here we describe a very different regime in which carrier…
The non-interacting energy spectrum of graphene and its bilayer counterpart consists of multiple degeneracies owing to the inherent spin, valley and layer symmetries. Interactions among charge carriers are expected to spontaneously break…
Semiconductor Bloch equations, which microscopically describe the dynamics of a Coulomb interacting, spin-unpolarized electron-hole plasma, can be solved in two limits: the coherent and the quasi-equilibrium regime. These equations have…
A new state of matter, an excitonic insulator (EI) state, was predicted to emerge from Bose-Einstein condensation of electron-hole pairs. Some candidate materials were suggested but it has been elusive to confirm its existence. Recent works…
Electron beams in two-dimensional systems can provide a useful tool to study energy-momentum relaxation of electrons and to generate microwave radiation stemming from plasma-beam instabilities. Naturally, these two applications cannot…
Both insulating and conducting electronic behaviors have been experimentally seen in clean bilayer graphene samples at low temperature, and there is still no consensus on the nature of the interacting ground state at half-filling and in the…
Suspended graphene exhibits ripples of size ranging from 50 to 100 {\AA} and height $\sim$10{\AA}, however, their origin remains undetermined. Previous theoretical works have proposed that rippling in graphene might be generated by the…
The problem of the thermal and magnetic destruction of the critical state in composite superconductors is investigated. The initial distributions of temperature and electromagnetic field are assumed to be essentially inhomogeneous. The…
We study effects of a repulsive Coulomb interaction on the spectral gap in monolayer and bilayer graphene in the vicinity of the charge neutrality point by employing the functional renormalization-group technique. In both cases Coulomb…
Screening of charge impurities in graphene is analyzed using the exact solution for vacuum polarization obtained from the massless Dirac-Kepler problem. For the impurity charge below certain critical value no density perturbation is found…
A clean noninteracting parabolic semimetal is characterized by quadratic band touching between the conduction and the valence bands at isolated diabolic points in the Brillouin zone and describes a fermionic quantum critical system with…
The concept of topological excitations and the related ground state degeneracy are employed to establish an effective theory of the superconducting state evolving from the Mott insulator for high-Tc cuprates. Casting the Coulomb interaction…
There is an interesting proposal that the long-range Coulomb interaction in suspended graphene can generate a dynamical gap, which leads to a semimetal-insulator phase transition. We revisit this problem by solving the self-consistent…
We propose that recent transport experiments revealing the existence of an energy gap in graphene nanoribbons may be understood in terms of Coulomb blockade. Electron interactions play a decisive role at the quantum dots which form due to…
