Specific heat versus temperature curves for various pressures, or magnetic fields (or some other external control parameter) have been seen to cross at a point or in a very small range of temperatures in many correlated fermion systems. We…
Thermionic emission has been exploited to give rise to the theory of thermionic cooling also known as electron transpiration cooling, which can potentially serve as a powerful and engineerable cooling mode for hypersonic leading edges that…
We have studied the low-temperature electrical transport properties of Pb$_x$(SiO$_2$)$_{1-x}$ ($x$ being the Pb volume fraction) nanogranular films with thicknesses of $\sim$1000 nm and $x$ spanning the dielectric, transitional, and…
We consider a fermionic Hubbard chain with an additional next-to-nearest neighbor hopping term. We study the thermalization rates of the quasi-momentum distribution function within a quantum Boltzmann equation approach. We find that the…
Lithium and sodium are the only solids that are known to lose crystalline order upon cooling. The seemingly-disordered low-temperature phase shows signatures of various close-packed structures. The lack of order has been attributed to a…
In this present work we report the results of our investigation on the electronic specific heat (ESH) of DNA molecule modelled within the tight-binding framework. We take four different DNA sequences ranging from periodic, quasi-periodic to…
Helioseismic inversions for the rotation rate have established the presence of a tachocline near the base of the solar convection zone. We show that the tachocline produces a characteristic oscillatory signature in the splitting…
The parallel magnetic field tuned two-dimensional superconductor-insulator transition has been investigated in ultrathin films of amorphous Bi. The resistance is found to be independent of temperature on both sides of the transition below…
Entanglement is the quantum signature of Hawking's particle pair-creation from causal horizons, for gravitational and analog systems alike. Ambient thermal fluctuations, ubiquitous in realistic situations, strongly affects the entanglement…
We study electron localization in disordered quantum systems, focusing on both individual eigenstates and thermal states. We employ complex polarization as a numerical indicator to characterize the system's localization length. Furthermore,…
We study the entanglement properties of a molecular three-qubit system described by the Heisenberg spin Hamiltonian with anisotropic exchange interactions and including an external magnetic field. The system exhibits first order quantum…
The thermodynamics of hydration changes gradually from entropic for small solutes to enthalpic for large ones. The small-to-large crossover lengthscale of hydrophobic hydration depends on the thermodynamic conditions of the solvent such as…
One-dimensional helical liquids can appear at boundaries of certain condensed matter systems. Two prime examples are the edge of a quantum spin Hall insulator and the hinge of a three-dimensional second-order topological insulator. For…
The effect of correlated hopping on the charge and heat transport of strongly correlated particles is studied for the Falicov-Kimball model on the Bethe lattice. Exact solutions for the one particle density of states (DOS) and two particle…
Understanding the molecular mechanisms driving the binding between bio-molecules is a crucial challenge in molecular biology. In this respect, characteristics like the preferentially hydrophobic composition of the binding interfaces, the…
The thermodynamical stability of DNA minicircles is investigated by means of path integral techniques. Hydrogen bonds between base pairs on complementary strands can be broken by thermal fluctuations and temporary fluctuational openings…
Shubnikov de Haas resistance oscillations of highly mobile two dimensional helical electrons propagating on a conducting surface of strained HgTe 3D topological insulator are studied in magnetic fields B tilted by angle $\theta$ from the…
The single orbital, one-dimensional, Hatano-Nelson Hamiltonian provides deep insight into the physics of non-Hermiticity, resulting from asymmetric left/right hopping, and its connections to localization. In the absence of disorder, its…
Time-reversal symmetry prohibits elastic backscattering of electrons propagating within a helical edge of a two-dimensional topological insulator. However, small band gaps in these systems make them sensitive to doping disorder, which may…
Stiff, elongated biomolecules such as filamentous viruses, DNA or cellulose nanocrystals are known to form liquid crystals often exhibiting a helical supramolecular organization. Little is known about the microscopic origin, size and…
