In the presence of mixing between massive neutrino states, the distortion of the electron spectrum in beta decay is, in general, a function of several masses and mixing angles. For $3\nu$-schemes which describe the solar and atmospheric…

Based on large-scale shell model calculations we have determined the electron capture, positron capture and beta-decay rates on more than 100 nuclei in the mass range A=45-65. The rates are given for densities \rho Y_e =10^7-10^{10}…

Electron capture of 123Te from the K shell has been investigated in a new underground search with an array of 340 g TeO_2 thermal detectors. We find that some previous indication of this decay could be attributed to E.C. of 121Te resulting…

Electron dynamics in the bulk and at the surface of solid materials are well known to play a key role in a variety of physical and chemical phenomena. In this article we describe the main aspects of the interaction of low-energy electrons…

Energy dissipation is of fundamental interest and crucial importance in quantum systems. However, whether energy dissipation can emerge inside topological systems remains a question, especially when charge transport is topologically…

The entanglement properties of two-electron atomic systems have been the subject of considerable research activity in recent years. These studies are still somewhat fragmentary, focusing on numerical computations on particular states of…

The results of a joint experimental and theoretical investigation of the C60 collective excitations in the process of inelastic scattering of electrons are presented. The shape of the electron energy loss spectrum is observed to vary when…

The electrical double layer (EDL) at aqueous solution-metal oxide interfaces critically affects many fundamental processes in electrochemistry, geology and biology, yet understanding its microscopic structure is challenging for both theory…

The electron dephasing time $\tau_{\phi}$ in a diffusive quantum dot is calculated by considering the interaction between the electron and dynamical defects, modelled as two-level system. Using the standard tunneling model of glasses, we…

A new evaluation of 2beta-decay half lives and their systematics is presented. These data extend the previous evaluation and include the analysis of all recent measurements. The nuclear matrix elements for 2beta-decay transitions in 12…

Polyelectrolytes under confinement are crucial for energy storage and for understanding biomolecular functions. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we analyze a polyelectrolyte solution confined between two oppositely charged planar…

The magnitude of binding energy used in the conventional nuclear theory to explain the EMC experimental data, seems to be larger than the one expected. In this paper to get sufficient depletion in the binding energy, different…

Electronic stopping of H and He ions in metals and insulators is analyzed at velocities below 0.2 atomic units, i.e. below 1 keV for H and below 4 keV for He. In metals, stopping of H ions is affected by d-electrons only when the d-band…

The electrical double layer (EDL) is fundamental to the operation of devices for electrochemical energy storage and conversion. Existing models of EDL in solid electrolytes focus predominantly on the space charge layer and lack a complete…

We propose a setup enabling electron energy loss spectroscopy to determine the density of the electrons accumulated by an electro-positive dielectric in contact with a plasma. It is based on a two-layer structure inserted into a recess of…

Electronic stopping power in the \(\mathrm{keV/\AA}\) range is accurately calculated from first principles. The energy loss to electrons in self-irradiated nickel, a paradigmatic transition metal, using real-time time-dependent density…

We consider the possibility that neutrinoless double beta decay may occur in models with unbroken lepton number via the emission of a massive gauge boson with electron lepton number $-2$. We determine the shape of the $\beta\,\beta$ sum…

Geometry incommensurability between weakly coupled shells in multi-walled carbon nanotubes is shown to be the origin of unconventional electronic conduction mechanism, power-law scaling of the conductance, and remarkable magnetotransport…

The present status of double beta decay experiments are reviewed. The results of the most sensitive experiments, NEMO-3 and CUORICINO, are discussed. Proposals for future double beta decay experiments are considered. In these experiments…
