Electromagnetism (E&M) is often challenging for students enrolled in introductory college-level physics courses. Compared to mechanics, the mathematics of E&M is more sophisticated and the representations are more abstract. Furthermore,…

The adsorption of large ions from solution to a charged surface is investigated theoretically. A generalized Poisson--Boltzmann equation, which takes into account the finite size of the ions is presented. We obtain analytical expressions…

Defects in semiconductors can exhibit multiple charge states, which can be used for charge storage applications. Here we consider such charge storage in a series of oxygen deficient phases of TiO$_2$, known as Magn\'eli phases. These…

Our recent arXiv preprints have described the experimental evidence for the universal occurrence of short circuit photocurrents on illumination of solid state surfaces by strongly absorbed light. A likely mechanism has been proposed based…

The papers setting upper bounds on the value of electric charge of the photon are briefly reviewed. The theoretical framework of these bounds is shown to be incomplete. Hence the bounds seem to be unreliable.

We predict a condensation phenomenon in an overall neutral system, consisting of a single charged plate and its oppositely charged counterions. Based on the ``two-fluid'' model, in which the counterions are divided into a ``free'' and a…

Parameterized representations of the equation of state play an important role in efforts to measure the properties of the matter in the cores of neutron stars using astronomical observations. New representations are presented here that are…

We investigate the suitability of natural orbitals as a basis for describing many-body excitations. We analyze to which extend the natural orbitals describe both bound as well as ionized excited states and show that depending on the…

Despite its importance, the understanding of ionic cloud distribution close to a charged macroion under physiological salt conditions has remained very limited especially for strongly coupled systems with, for instance, multivalent…

These brief comments on the article in Phys. Rev. B 93, 155116 (2016), address an inadvertent misrepresentation of the capabilities of density functional theory (DFT) and of its local density approximation (LDA) in describing electronic and…

In this paper, we derive a general formula for the quantized fractional corner charge in two-dimensional C_n-symmetric higher-order topological insulators. We assume that the electronic states can be described by the Wannier functions and…

We consider asymptotics of the ground state energy of heavy atoms and molecules and derive it including Schwinger and Dirac corrections. We consider also related topics: an excessive negative charge, ionization energy and excessive negative…

It is shown that the geometry of multi-electron threshold ionization in atoms depends on the initial configuration of bound electrons. The reason for this behavior is found in the stability properties of the classical fixed point of the…

We investigate the chemical bonding characteristics of the transition metal dichalcogenides based on their static and dynamical atomic charges within Density Functional Theory. The dynamical charges of the trigonal transition metal…

Quantum physics frequently involves a need to count the states, subspaces, measurement outcomes, and other elements of quantum dynamics. However, with quantum mechanics assigning probabilities to such objects, it is often desirable to work…

Probabilities of various final states are determined numerically for a number of {\ss}- decaying light atoms. In our evaluations of the final state probabilities we have used the highly accurate atomic wave functions constructed for each…

Electrons have three quantized properties -- charge, spin, and Fermi statistics -- that are directly responsible for a vast array of phenomena. Here we show how these properties can be coherently and dynamically stripped from the electron…

Electron scattering will provide the most direct information about charge distribution in exotic nuclei. A technical proposal for an electron-heavy-ion collider has been incorporated in the GSI/Germany physics program (spokesperson: Haik…

We present a theory that enables us to calculate the effective surface charge of colloidal particles and to efficiently obtain titration curves for different salt concentrations. The theory accounts for the shift of pH of solution due to…

We consider the general situation of a compact relativistic body with anisotropic pressures in the presence of the electromagnetic field. The equation of state for the matter distribution is linear and may be applied to strange stars with…
