The gap caused by a strong electric field between the quark surface and nuclear crust of a strange star is studied in an improved model including gravity and pressure as well as electrostatic forces. The transition from gap to crust is…
The neutrino produced in the pion decay reveals a new diffraction phenomenon due to many-body interactions in an intermediate time region when wave functions of the parent and daughters overlap. Because of diffraction, the probability to…
We investigate the diffraction conditions and associated formation of stopgaps for waves in crystals with different Bravais lattices. We identify a prominent stopgap in high-symmetry directions that occurs at a frequency below the…
The traditional Bragg crystal diffraction experiments use X-rays, harming the participants bodies. Therefore, many universities have not offered this basic experiment. Although microwave simulation Bragg experiments can reduce harm, there…
At the supranuclear densities achieved inside a neutron star, matter may exhibit extreme properties. In particular, it may be the case that a suitable average of the speed of sound squared exceeds the so-called conformal limit, i.e.,…
Nonequilibrium conditions imposed by neutrino cooling through the liquid-solid transition lead to disorder in the solid crust of neutron stars. Disorder reduces the superfluid fraction, $\rho_s/\rho$, at densities above that of neutron…
New effects of nontrivial neutrino electromagnetic properties are investigated on the basis of exact solutions of the modified Dirac equations for neutrinos in dense magnetized rotating matter. The effect of spatial separation of different…
The impact of neutrino mixing, refraction and absorption on high-energy neutrino propagation through a thick medium is studied using the MSW evolution equation with complex indices of refraction. It is found that, owing to the mixing with…
Thanks to recent measurements of tidal deformability and radius, the nuclear equation of state and structure of neutron stars are now better understood. Here, we show that through resonant tidal excitations in a binary inspiral, the neutron…
The scattering of fast charged particles in a thin crystalline undulator is considered under conditions when all particles of the beam undergo above-barrier motion with respect to the bent crystalline atomic planes. The consideration is…
The neutron to mirror neutron transitions in neutron stars would possibly result in significant effects. In this work we show that collisional decoherence entails exponential relaxation in lieu of oscillations. Decoherence is a great many…
The presence of superfluid phases in the interior of a neutron star affects its dynamics, as neutrons can flow relative to the non-superfluid (normal) components of the star with little or no viscosity. A probe of superfluidity comes from…
Spatially resolved neutron diffraction as a function of crystal depth in Pb(Mg$_{1/3}$Nb$_{2/3}$)O$_{3}$ reveals the presence of a distinct near-surface region. A dramatic change in both the lattice constant and the Bragg peak intensity as…
We discuss the nature of the kaon condensation phase transition. We find several features which, if kaons condense in neutron stars, are not only remarkable, but must surely effect such properties as superfluidity and transport properties,…
We determine the spectrum of particles accelerated at shocks with arbitrary speed and arbitrary scattering properties for different choices of the equation of state of the downstream plasma. More specifically we consider the effect of…
We consider the rate of transition for a particle between two metastable states coupled to a thermal environment for various magnitudes of the coupling strength, using the recently proposed infrequent metadynamics approach (Tiwary and…
We review well-known signatures of disorder in crystallographic and inelastic neutron scattering data. We show that these can arise from different types of disorder, corresponding to different values of the system entropy. Correlating the…
The inner layers of a neutron star crust, composed of a Coulomb lattice of neutron rich nuclear clusters immersed in a sea of ``free'' superfluid neutrons, are closely analogous to periodic condensed matter systems such as electronic,…
The band gap, a key concept in solid-state physics, is traditionally explained by the Bragg diffraction of electron waves in the periodic potential of a crystal. Although widely accepted, this framework raises fundamental issues in…
The presence of neutral hydrogen in the shock proximity changes the structure of the shock and affects the spectra of particles accelerated through the first-order Fermi mechanism. This phenomenon has profound implications for the…
