The covalent-like characteristics of hydrogen bonds offer a new perspective on intermolecular interactions. Here, using density functional theory and post-Hartree-Fock methods, we reveal that there are two bonding molecular orbitals (MOs)…
We prove a new lower bound on the indirect Coulomb energy in quantum mechanics in terms of the single particle density of the system. The new universal lower bound is an alternative to the classical Lieb--Oxford bound (with a smaller…
Water ice is a unique material presenting intriguing physical properties, like negative thermal expansion and anomalous volume isotope effect (VIE). They arise from the interplay between weak hydrogen bonds and nuclear quantum fluctuations,…
A key question in the theory of high-temperature superconductivity is whether Off-diagonal Long-Range Order (ODLRO) can be induced wholly or in large part by repulsive electronic correlations. Electron pairs on Cuprate and the iron-based…
It is shown that the convective instability in electron fluids in three- and two-dimensional (3D and 2D) Dirac and Weyl semimetals is strongly inhibited. The major obstacles for electron convection are the effects of the Coulomb forces and…
Recent years have seen a surge of interest in studies of hydrodynamic transport in electronic systems. We investigate the electron viscosity of metals and find a new component that is closely related to Coulomb drag. Using the linear…
We address the problem of resistivity saturation observed in materials such as the A-15 compounds. To do so, we calculate the resistivity for the Hubbard-Holstein model in infinite spatial dimensions to second order in on-site repulsion…
Hyperbolic plasmons are collective electron excitations in layered conductors. They are of relevance to a number of superconducting materials, including the cuprates and layered hyperbolic metamaterials [V. N. Smolyaninova, et al.…
Making use of generalized Eliashberg equations, we describe the Altshuler-Aronov (AA) effect and superconductivity on equal footing. We derive explicit expressions for the Coulomb pseudopotential in 3D, taking into account also the…
Magneto-drag reveals the nature of compressible states and the underlying interplay of disorder and interactions. At \nu=3/2 a clear T^{4/3} dependence is observed, which signifies the metallic nature of the N=0 Landau level. In contrast,…
It is difficult to intuit how electronic structure features$-$such as band gap magnitude, location of band extrema, effective masses, etc.$-$arise from the underlying crystal chemistry of a material. Here we present a strategy to distill…
Many experimental techniques such as tagging photodissociation and helium nanodroplet isolation spectroscopy operate at very low temperatures in order to investigate hydrogen bonding. To elucidate the differences between such ultra-cold and…
The Casimir force between metallic plates made of realistic materials is evaluated for distances in the nanometer range. A spectrum over real frequencies is introduced and shows narrow peaks due to surface resonances (plasmon polaritons or…
In general,the optical binding force between identical particles is thought to be symmetric.However,we demonstrate analytically a counter-intuitively asymmetric longitudinal optical binding force between two identical dual dipolar…
Many theoretical approaches find d-wave superconductivity in the prototypical one-band Hubbard model for high-temperature superconductors. At strong-coupling (U > W, where U is the on-site repulsion and W=8t the bandwidth) pairing is…
The dispersion of the in-plane Cu-O bond-stretching LO phonon mode in the high-$T_{C}$ superconducting cuprates shows strong softening with doping near the zone boundary. We suggest that it can be described with a negative electronic…
We investigate the transport properties of itinerant electrons interacting with a background of localized spins in a correlated paramagnetic phase of the pyrochlore lattice. We find a residual resistivity at zero temperature due to the…
Hydrogen in metals has attracted much attention for a long time from both basic scientific and technological points of view. Its electronic state has been investigated in terms of a proton embedded in the electron gas mostly by the local…
The theory of electron-phonon superconductivity depends on retardation drastically reducing effects of the strong Coulomb repulsion. The standard theory only treats the lowest order diagram, which is an uncontrolled approximation. We study…
The ultraviolet (UV) photodissociation of amorphous water ice at different ice temperatures is investigated using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and analytical potentials. Previous MD calculations of UV photodissociation of amorphous…
