We address the outstanding problem of electron pairing in the presence of strong Coulomb repulsion at small to moderate values of the Coulomb parameter, $r_s \lesssim 2$, and demonstrate that the pseudopotential framework is fundamentally…
The Coulomb energy of a charge that is uniformly distributed on some set is maximized (among sets of given volume) by balls. It is shown here that near-maximizers are close to balls.
The moving neutral system of two Coulomb charges on a plane subject to a constant magnetic field $B$ perpendicular to the plane is considered. It is shown that the composite system of finite total mass is bound for any center-of-mass…
We investigate, in the framework of linearized quantum gravity, the quantum gravitational interaction between a gravitoelectrically polarizable object and a gravitomagnetically polarizable object. This interaction originates from the…
Coulomb systems in which the particles interact through the $d$-dimensional Coulomb potential but are confined in a flat manifold of dimension $d - 1$ are considered. The Coulomb potential is defined with some boundary condition involving a…
Momentum transfer due to electron-electron interaction (Coulomb drag) between two quantum wells, separated by a distance $d$, in the presence of a perpendicular magnetic field, is studied at low temperatures. We find besides the well known…
Coulomb interaction between charged particles is a well-known phenomenon in many areas of researches. In general the Coulomb repulsion force broadens the pulse width of an electron bunch and limits the temporal resolution of many scientific…
We derive a master equation for the electron transport through molecular wires in the limit of strong Coulomb repulsion. This approach is applied to two typical situations: First, we study transport through an open conduction channel for…
The temperature dependence of Coulomb blockade peaks of a one dimensional quantum dot is calculated. The Coulomb interaction is treated microscopically using the Luttinger liquid model. The electron interaction is assumed to be…
According to Newton's law of gravitation the force between two particles depends upon their inertial, as well as their active and passive gravitational masses. For ordinary matter all three of these are equal and positive. We consider here…
The empirical observation of aggregation of dielectric particles under the influence of electrostatic forces lies at the origin of the theory of electricity. The growth of clusters formed of small grains underpins a range of phenomena from…
An atom moving in a vacuum at constant velocity and parallel to a surface experiences a frictional force induced by the dissipative interaction with the quantum fluctuations of the electromagnetic field. We show that the combination of…
In sandstorms and thunderclouds, turbulence-induced collisions between solid particles and ice crystals lead to inevitable triboelectrification. The charge segregation is usually size-dependent, with small particles charged negatively and…
Within the simplest model of metals, namely a gas of electrons with Coulomb interactions, in the presence of a uniform background of positive charge to enforce electric neutrality of the system, we have derived a mechanism, by which the…
We present an effective action approach for the problem of Coulomb blocking of tunneling. The method is applied to the ``strong coupling'' problem arising near zero bias, where perturbation theory diverges. By a semiclassical argument, we…
A charged particle which is allowed to accelerate must have relativistic behavior because it is coupled to electromagnetic radiation which propagates at the speed of light. We treat the simple steady-state situation of a charged particle…
We consider a $d$-dimensional gas in canonical equilibrium under pairwise screened Coulomb repulsion and external confinement, and subject to a volume constraint. We show that its excess free energy displays a generic third-order…
The non-linear current-voltage characteristic of a tunnel junction between two Luttinger systems is calculated for an interaction with finite range. Coulomb blockade features are found. The dissipative resistance, the capacitance and the…
When a biased conductor is put in proximity with an unbiased conductor a drag current can be induced in the absence of detailed balance. This is known as the Coulomb drag effect. However, even in this situation far away from equilibrium…
We study a system of stochastic differential equations with singular drift which describes the dynamics of signed particles in two dimensions interacting by the Coulomb potential. In contrast to the well-studied cases of identical particles…
