Nernst effect is the transverse electric field due to a longitudinal thermal gradient in presence of magnetic field. Its magnitude was recently studied up to 33 T in a bismuth single crystal with a magnetic field oriented along the trigonal…
Electrons in a metal subject to magnetic field commonly exhibit oscillatory behavior as the field strength varies, with a period set by the area of quantized electronic orbits. Recent experiments on elemental bismuth have revealed…
We explain the origin of most of the peaks in the Nernst coefficient that were recently observed at magnetic fields directed along the trigonal axis and the bisectrix direction in bismuth. Additional experiments are discussed that enable…
With a widely available magnetic field of 10 T, one can attain the quantum limit in bismuth and graphite. At zero magnetic field, these two elemental semi-metals host a dilute liquid of carriers of both signs. When the quantum limit is…
Bulk bismuth has a complex Landau spectrum. The small effective masses and the large g-factors are anisotropic. The chemical potential drifts at high magnetic fields. Moreover, twin boundaries further complexify the interpretation of the…
In material systems with slab geometry, the surface contribution to physical responses is commonly expected to diminish rapidly with increasing thickness, giving way to the bulk response. Here, we show that this conventional wisdom is…
A supersymmetry anomaly is found in the presence of non-perturbative fields. When the action is expressed in terms of the correct quantum variables, anomalous surface terms appear in its supersymmetric variation - one per each collective…
A Comment [1] to our recent article [2], expressed criticism on our estimate of the maximum magnetic field that can exist inside a neutron star and on the pressure anisotropy we found for a magnetized gas of fermions. These two points are…
The confluence between high-energy physics and condensed matter has produced groundbreaking results via unexpected connections between the two traditionally disparate areas. In this work, we elucidate additional connectivity between…
D. J. Antonio et al. report an x-ray diffraction experiment on uranium dioxide at high-magnetic field and low temperature. The authors have apparently not realized that the diffraction data actually shows unambiguously the presence of a…
This is a comment on Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 110}, 126405 (2013), showing it biases the ferromagnetic order more than mean field theories would do. With over-biases like this, the theoretical method applied in the given context is called into…
The recent measurement by Bignami and co-workers of the magnetic field of a neutron star for the first time gives a value that differs by about two orders of magnitude from the expected value. The speculation has been that the nuclear…
We report the occurrence of ferromagnetic-like anomalous Hall effect (AHE) below $30$ mT in bismuth single and policrystals. The signatures of ferromagnetism in transport are not corroborated in magnetization measurements, thus suggesting…
In the recent letter [1] by H. Ikeda and Y. Ohashi, a new, very attractive idea is proposed for the explanation of the micromagnetism in U-based heavy fermion compounds. For this sake a nontrivial spin density wave (d-SDW) is introduced.…
This review summarises results of recent magnetic and chemical abundance surface mapping studies of early-type stars. We discuss main trends uncovered by observational investigations and consider reliability of spectropolarimetric inversion…
Whereas bulk bismuth supports very-high mobility, light, Dirac electrons and holes in its interior, its boundaries support a layer of heavy electrons in surface states formed by spin orbit interaction in the presence of the surface electric…
We consider the possibility that cosmic magnetic field, instead of being uniformly distributed, is strongly correlated with the large scale structure of the universe. Then, the observed rotational measure of extra-galactic radio sources…
We review some recent results on the phenomenon of surface superconductivity in the framework of Ginzburg-Landau theory for extreme type-II materials. In particular, we focus on the response of the superconductor to a strong longitudinal…
Superconductors with nontrivial band structure topology represent a class of materials with unconventional and potentially useful properties. Recent years have seen much success in creating artificial hybrid structures exhibiting main…
A new phenomenon is observed experimentally in a heavily doped asymmetric quantum-size structure in a magnetic field parallel to the quantum-well layers - a transverse magnetoresistance which is asymmetric in the field (there can even be a…
