We have measured the interaction between superfluid $^3$He-B and a micro-machined goalpost-shaped device at temperatures below $0.2\,T_c$. The measured damping follows well the theory developed for vibrating wires, in which the Andreev…
We show theoretically that nonrelativistic nearly-free electrons in solids should experience a trembling motion (Zitterbewegung, ZB) in absence of external fields, similarly to relativistic electrons in vacuum. The Zitterbewegung is…
In the present contribution, by studying a fractional version of Dirac's equation for the electron, we show that the phenomenon of Zitterbewegung in a coarse-grained medium exhibits a transient oscillatory behavior, rather than a purely…
The notion of zitterbewegung is a long-standing prediction of relativistic quantum mechanics. Here we extend earlier theoretical studies on this phenomenon for the case of III-V zinc-blende semiconductors which exhibit particularly strong…
Traditionally, the zitterbewegung (ZB) of the Dirac electron has just been studied at the level of quantum mechanics. Seeing that the fact that an old interest in ZB has recently been rekindled by the investigations on spintronic, graphene,…
Zitterbewegung, a force-free trembling motion first predicted for relativistic fermions like electrons, was an unexpected consequence of the Dirac equation's unification of quantum mechanics and special relativity. Though the oscillatory…
When an electron is forced into liquid $^3$He it forms an "electron bubble", a heavy ion with radius, $R\simeq 1.5$ nm, and mass, $M\simeq 100\,m_3$, where $m_3$ is the mass of a $^3$He atom. These negative ions have proven to be powerful…
Zitterbewegung is a striking consequence of relativistic quantum mechanics which predicts that free Dirac electrons exhibit a rapid trembling motion even in the absence of external forces. The trembling motion of an electron results from…
We review recent research on Zitterbewegung (ZB, trembling motion) of electrons in semiconductors. A brief history of the subject is presented, the trembling motion in semirelativistic and spin systems is considered and its main features…
We discuss a close relationship between a quasiparticle on the Bogoliubov Fermi surface and an odd-frequency Cooper pair in a superconductor in which a Cooper pair consisting of two j=3/2 electrons forms the pseudospin-quintet even-parity…
An analogy between the band structure of narrow gap semiconductors and the Dirac equation for relativistic electrons in vacuum is used to demonstrate that semiconductor electrons experience a Zitterbewegung (trembling motion). Its frequency…
In a semiclassical context we investigate the Zitterbewegung of relativistic particles with spin 1/2 moving in external fields. It is shown that the analogue of Zitterbewegung for general observables can be removed to arbitrary order in…
We study the dynamics of Bogoliubov excitations of a Bose-Einstein condensate in the quasiperiodic kicked rotor. In the weakly interacting regime, the condensate is stable and both the condensate and the excitations undergo a phase…
We consider the $\alpha$-$T_3$ model which provides a smooth crossover between the honeycomb lattice with pseudospin $1/2$ and the dice lattice with pseudospin $1$ through the variation of a parameter $\alpha$. We study the dynamics of a…
The highly successful Dirac equation can predict peculiar effects such as Klein tunneling and the "Zitterbewegung" (German for "trembling motion") of electrons. From the time it was first identified by Erwin Schrodinger, Zitterbewegung (ZB)…
Electrons embedded in liquid $^3$He form mesoscopic bubbles with radii large compared to the interatomic distance between $^3$He atoms, voids of $N_{bubble}\approx 200$ $^3$He atoms, generating a negative ion with a large effective mass…
We present a generalized quasi-particle theory for bosonic lattice systems, which naturally contains all relevant collective modes, including the Higgs amplitude in the strongly correlated superfluid. In contrast to Bogoliubov theory, this…
The momentum dependence of the low energy quasiparticle spectrum and the related Bogoliubov angle in cuprate superconductors are studied within the kinetic energy driven superconducting mechanism. By calculation of the ratio of the low…
We demonstrate both classically and quantum mechanically that the Zitterbewegung (ZB, the trembling motion) of electrons in crystalline solids is nothing else, but oscillations of velocity assuring the energy conservation when the electron…
We perform a systematic study of the Zitterbewegung effect of fermions, which are described by a Gaussian wave with broken spatial-inversion symmetry in a three-dimensional low-energy Weyl semimetal. Our results show that the motion of…
