We propose an intrinsic spin scattering mechanism in graphene originated by the interplay of atomic spin-orbit interaction and the local curvature induced by flexural distortions of the atomic lattice. Starting from a multiorbital…

Interlayer excitons in layered materials constitute a novel platform to study many-body phenomena arising from long-range interactions between quantum particles. The ability to localise individual interlayer excitons in potential energy…

Accurate measurement of the lifetime of the neutron (which is unstable to beta decay) is important for understanding the weak nuclear force and the creation of matter during the Big Bang. Previous measurements of the neutron lifetime have…

We show theoretically that a lattice of exciton-polaritons can behave as a life-like cellular automaton when simultaneously excited by a continuous wave coherent field and a time-periodic sequence of non-resonant pulses. This provides a…

When neutrinos are produced from long lived particles the life-time of the source particle affects the flavour conversion probability formula. Due to this source dependence experiments (like LSND) which use muon decay neutrinos are two…

Beam and trap methods find incompatible results for the lifetime of the neutron: the former delivers a value which is about $8.7\pm2.1$ s longer than the latter. Very recently (1906.10024) it has been proposed that the inverse Zeno effect…

Neutron-antineutron ($n-\bar n$) oscillations in the deuteron are considered. Specifically, the deuteron lifetime is calculated in terms of the free-space $n-\bar n$ oscillation time $\tau_{n-\bar n}$ based on $NN$ and $\bar NN$…

The lifetimes of magnetic hopfions on a discrete lattice with competing exchange interactions are calculated within the framework of the transition state theory for magnetic degrees of freedom. Three sets of discrete model parameters…

Motivated by the observation and prediction of clustering behavior for impurities substituted into the host lattice of a real material, and the dramatic impact this can have on electronic properties, we develop a simple approach to describe…

We study excitonic polariton relaxation and propagation in bulk CdZnTe using time- resolved photoluminescence and time-of-flight techniques. Propagation of picosecond optical pulses through 0.745 mm thick crystal results in time delays up…

We study the lifetimes of TeV-scale heavy neutral leptons (Majorana neutrinos) that appear in a model suggested by Okamura et al. [2]. We develop a convenient way to parametrize the neutrino mass texture of the model, and illustrate our…

We consider the effects of a massive, unstable neutrino on the evolution of large--scale structure and anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background. Comparison with large--scale structure data allows us to rule out a wide range of masses…

Energies and lifetimes (widths) of vibrational states above the lowest dissociation limit of $^{16}$O$_3$ were determined using a previously-developed efficient approach, which combines hyperspherical coordinates and a complex absorbing…

We review our progress on the lattice calculation of low moments of both the unpolarised and polarised nucleon structure functions.

We consider here the decay of unstable particles in geodesic circular motion around compact objects. For the neutron, in particular, strong and weak decay are calculated by means of a semiclassical approach. Noticeable effects are expected…

We analyze Planck scale induced modifications of the relativistic time dilation using data from the Muon Storage Ring experiment at CERN. By examining the lifetimes of muons, we establish, for the first time, a constraint on such quantum…

We study the effects of additive noise on the lifetimes of chaotic repellors. Using first order perturbation theory we argue that noise will increase the lifetime if the escape holes lie in regions where the unperturbed density is higher…

Recent scattering-type scanning near-field optical spectroscopy (s-SNOM) experiments on single-layer graphene have reported Dirac plasmon lifetimes that are substantially shorter than the dc transport scattering time \tau_{tr}. We highlight…

We study the lifetime of an atom trapped in an optical vertical lattice in proximity of a massive surface using a complex scaling approach. We analyze how the presence of the surface modifies the known lifetimes of Wannier-Stark states…

We present a model-independent calculation of hadron matrix elements for all dimension-six operators associated with baryon number violating processes using lattice QCD. The calculation is performed with the Wilson quark action in the…
