In this work we probe the dynamics of the particle-hole symmetric many-body localized (MBL) phase. We provide numerical evidence that it can be characterized by an algebraic propagation of both entanglement and charge, unlike in the…
A quite unusual diffuse scattering phenomenology was observed in the single-crystal X-ray diffraction pattern of cubic perovskite BMT ($\mathrm{BaMg}_{1/3}\mathrm{Ta}_{2/3}\mathrm{O}_3$). The intensity of the scattering is parametrized as a…
A self-consistent kinetic theory of Thomson scattering of an electromagnetic field by a non-uniform plasma is derived. We draw the readers' attention to the inconsistency in recent results on the Thomson scattering in inhomogeneous plasma,…
We have examined the local structure of PMN-PT and PZN-PT solid solutions using density functional theory. We find that the directions and magnitudes of cation displacement can be explained by an interplay of cation-oxygen bonding,…
The relaxor ferroelectric PbMg_1/3Ta_2/3O_3 was studied by single-crystal neutron and synchrotron x-ray diffraction and its detailed atomic structure has been modeled in terms of static Pb-displacements that lead to the formation of polar…
The origin of the exceptionally strong superconductivity of cuprates remains a subject of debate after more than two decades of investigation. Here we follow a new lead: The onset temperature for superconductivity scales with the strength…
Electromagnetic response of PT-dipole is studied both analytically and numerically. In analytical approach, dipole is represented by two point scatterers. Within the first Born approximation, the asymmetry of the scattering field with…
Whereas low-temperature ferroelectrics have a well understood ordered spatial dipole arrangement, the fate of these dipoles in paraelectric phases remains poorly understood. Using density functional theory (DFT), we find that unlike the…
A star crossing the tidal radius of a supermassive black hole will be spectacularly ripped apart with an accompanying burst of radiation. A few tens of such tidal disruption events (TDEs) have now been identified in the optical wavelengths,…
In this work, we revisit the model of PbTe presented in [E. Fradkin, E. Dagotto, and D. Boyanovsky, Phys. Rev. Lett. 57, 2967 (1986)]. We show that the low energy theory of this model corresponds to a (higher-order) topological crystalline…
We discuss restrictions on the existence of the diffusion pole in the translationally invariant diagrammatic treatment of disordered electron systems. We use the Bethe-Salpeter equations for the two-particle vertex in the electron-hole and…
It has been long known that numerous halide and oxide perovskites can have non-ideal octahedra, showing tilting, rotation, and metal atom displacements. It has also been known that compounds that have at low temperatures a single structural…
Sputtering of PbTe crystals by Ar plasma with ion energies 50-550 eV is investigated. A dependence of sputter yields of the Te and Pb on the sputtering ion energy and sputtering time is measured. New phenomena: aperiodical oscillations of…
We discuss the relation between the emergence of new phases with broken symmetry within the framework of simple models of biopolymers. We start with a classic model for a chain molecule of spherical beads tethered together, with the steric…
We investigate the properties of pole-skipping of the sound channel in which the translational symmetry is broken explicitly or spontaneously. For this purpose, we analyze, in detail, not only the holographic axion model, but also the…
The remarkable linear in temperature resistivity of the cuprate superconductors, which extends in some samples from $T_c$ to the melting temperature, remains unexplained. Although seemingly simple, this temperature dependence is…
In high-energy heavy-ion collisions, the correlations between the emitted particles can be used as a probe to gain insight into the charge creation mechanisms. In this Letter, we report the first results of such studies using the electric…
We investigate the minimal requirements that induce a nonreciprocal response to temperature differences in a mesoscopic electronic conductor. We identify two distinct mechanisms involved in electron-electron interactions, namely inelastic…
The discrepancy between polarized and unpolarized measurements of the proton's electromagnetic form factors is striking, and suggests that two-photon exchange (TPE) may be playing a larger role in elastic electron-proton scattering than is…
PbTe is a leading mid-range thermoelectric material with a $zT$ that has been enhanced by, amongst other methods, band engineering. Here we present an experimental study of the Hall effect, quantum oscillations, specific heat, and electron…
