Unusually large spontaneous and piezoelectric fields in the III-V nitrides have led to the making of an entirely new class of two-dimensional electron gas. Fluctuation from a perfectly periodic binary structure in highly polar semiconductor…
Electronic structure calculations performed on very large supercells have shown that the local charge excesses in metallic alloys are related through simple linear relations to the local electrostatic field resulting from distribution of…
Recent investigations have provided important insights into the complex structure and dynamics of collectively moving flocks of living organisms. Two intriguing observations are, scale-free correlations in the velocity fluctuations, in the…
Liquid hydrocarbons are often modeled with fixed, symmetric, atom-centered charge distributions and Lennard-Jones interaction potentials that reproduce many properties of the bulk liquid. While useful for a wide variety of applications,…
A nanocomposite film containing highly polarizable inclusions in a fluid background is explored when an external electric field is applied perpendicular to the planar film. For small electric fields, the induced dipole moments of the…
The processes occurring in the solar atmosphere are diverse and depend on many important factors. For example, from magnetic fields, their sudden changes, from emissions of substance from the depths of the Sun, distribution of shock waves…
The ball lightning phenomenon is explained in the frame of a self-organization scenario suggested by experiments performed on the spontaneously generated complex spherical space charge configuration in plasma. Originated in a hot plasma,…
The properties of small clusters can differ dramatically from the bulk phases of the same constituents. In equilibrium, cluster assembly has been recently explored, whereas out of equilibrium, the physical principles of clustering remain…
We consider theories of fractons with $N$ fields. These theories have exotic spacetime symmetries, including a conserved dipole moment. Using collective fields we solve these models to leading order in large $N$. The large $N$ solution…
The article is devoted to electromagnetic phenomena in the atmosphere. The set of experimental data on the thunderstorm activity is analyzed. It helps to identify a possible physical mechanism of lightning flashes. This mechanism can…
Insulating particles can become highly electrified during powder handling, volcanic eruptions, and the wind-blown transport of dust, sand, and snow. Measurements in these granular systems have found that smaller particles generally charge…
We propose a simple model of columnar growth through {\it diffusion limited aggregation} (DLA). Consider a graph $G_N\times\N$, where the basis has $N$ vertices $G_N:=\{1,\dots,N\}$, and two vertices $(x,h)$ and $(x',h')$ are adjacent if…
Diffusion of electrons in two-dimensional disordered systems with spin-orbit interactions is investigated numerically. Asymptotic behaviors of the second moment of the wave packet and of the temporal auto-correlation function are examined.…
Surprisingly large spontaneous electric dipole moments recently observed in homonuclear niobium clusters below 100 K (Moro el. al. Science 300, 1265 (2003)) are explained using first-principles electronic structure calculations. The…
We generalize the small scale dynamics of the universe by taking into account models with an equation of state which evolves with time, and provide a complete formulation of the cluster virialization attempting to address the nonlinear…
A cumulus cloud model which can explain the observed characteristics of warm rain formation in monsoon clouds is presented. The model is based on classical statistical physical concepts and satisfies the principle of maximum entropy…
This paper proposes a probabilistic model for uncontrolled charging of electric vehicles (EVs). EV charging will add significant load to power systems in the coming years and, due to the convenience of charging at home, this is likely to…
We perform Monte Carlo simulations of a simplified two-dimensional model for colloidal hard spheres in an external uniaxial AC electric field. Experimentally, the external field induces dipole moments in the colloidal particles, which in…
A scale invariant, selfsimilar atmospheric eddy continuum exists in the planetary atmospheric boundary layer spanning several orders of magnitude in scales and gives rise to the observed fractal geometry for the global cloud cover pattern.…
The relativistic theory for the electric dipole moment (EDM) of paramagnetic atoms arising from the electric dipole moment of the electron is presented. A novel approach using the relativistic coupled-cluster method that incorporates the…
