The physics of an electron solid, held on a cryogenic liquid surface by a pressing electric field, is examined in a low-density regime that has not been explored before. We consider the effect of the pressing field in distorting the surface…

Electrons (or holes) confined in 2D semiconductor layers have served as model systems for studying disorder and interaction effects for almost 50 years. In particular, strong disorder drives the metallic 2D carriers into a strongly…

The two-dimensional Wigner crystal (WC) occurs in the strongly interacting regime ($r_s \gg 1$) of the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG). The magnetism of a pure WC is determined by tunneling processes that induce multi-spin ring-exchange…

We investigate the impact of random pinned disorder on a collection of self propelled particles. To achieve this, we construct a continuum model by formulating the coupled hydrodynamic equations for slow variables, local density and…

We study the transport properties of a Wigner crystal in one- and two-dimensional asymmetric periodic potential. We show that the Aubry transition takes place above a certain critical amplitude of potential with the sliding and pinned phase…

We demonstrate that unrestricted Hartree-Fock theory applied to electrons in a uniform potential has stable Wigner crystal solutions for $r_s \geq 1.44$ in two dimensions and $r_s \geq 4.5$ in three dimensions. The correlation energies of…

We study the thermodynamic and structural properties of the superconducting vortex system in high temperature layered superconductors, with magnetic field normal to the layers, in the presence of a small concentration of strong random point…

The interplay between disorder and vortex--vortex interactions in strongly disordered superconductors in a magnetic field can stabilize a vortex-glass state, characterized by strong pinning and the absence of positional order. Yet its role…

By using the exact solutions of the Weyl equation in a constant magnetic field, the equal-time Wigner function for magnetized chiral plasma is derived. It is found that the dependence of the Wigner function on the component of momentum…

Explicit current-dependent expressions for anisotropic longitudinal and transverse nonlinear magnetoresistivities are represented and analyzed on the basis of a Fokker-Planck approach for two-dimensional single-vortex dynamics in a…

We consider a long quantum wire at low electron densities. In this strong interaction regime a Wigner crystal may form, in which electrons comprise an antiferromagnetic Heisenberg spin chain. The coupling constant J is exponentially small,…

We study the pinning of few-electron charge densities by weak perturbations to circular quantum ring potentials. We find that the pinning by weak defects is only allowed when the symmetry of the classical few-electron lowest-energy…

Photoemission and tunneling spectroscopies measure the energies at which single electrons can be added to or removed from an electronic system. Features observed in such spectra have revealed electrons coupling to vibrational modes of ions…

The crystallographic (charge-ordered) and magnetic superstructures of La0.333Ca0.667MnO3 were studied by high-resolution synchrotron x-ray and neutron powder diffraction. In the antiferromagnetic structure, which was refined using a…

We report on results of simulations and experiments of vortex states in superconducting micro-wires with periodic rectangular pinhole structures. The simulations have been performed by means of numerically solving the time-dependent…

Charged colloidal crystals exhibit a subtle interplay between electrostatic screening and elastic deformation. In an anisotropic elastic medium the coupling between dilation and the local ionic environment becomes direction dependent,…

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) constitute an intriguing platform for studying charge-ordered states including conventional and generalized Wigner crystals as well as Mott insulating states. In this work, we combine a phonon mode…

In recent experiments on conductance of one-dimensional (1D) channels in ultra-clean samples, a diverse set of plateaus were found at fractions of the quantum of conductance in zero magnetic field. We consider a discrete model of strongly…

I present a study of the influence of disorder in thin magnetic films on the switching behavior of small magnetic cells of well defined shape and size. The disorder considered arises from randomly oriented crystalline grains of different…

Critically analyzing recent STM and transport experiments [Z. Ge, et al, arXiv:2510.12009] on 2D electron systems in the presence of random quenched impurities, we argue that the resulting low-density putative "solid" phase reported…
