Friedel's law guarantees an inversion-symmetric diffraction pattern for thin, light materials where a kinematic approximation or a single-scattering model holds. Typically, breaking Friedel symmetry is ascribed to multiple scattering events…
We analyze the fermion density of the one-dimensional Hubbard model using bosonization and numerical DMRG calculations. For finite systems we find a relatively sharp crossover even for moderate short range interactions into a region with…
We investigate the finite-temperature phase diagram of polar molecules confined in a quasi-two-dimensional geometry by a harmonic potential along the polarization axis. We employ Quantum Monte Carlo simulations to explore the strongly…
The stability of different phases of the three-dimensional non-relativistic electron gas is analyzed using stochastic methods. With decreasing density, we observe a {\it continuous} transition from the paramagnetic to the ferromagnetic…
Phonon dispersion in a two-dimensional electron-lattice system described by a two-dimensional square-lattice version of Su-Schrieffer-Heeger's model and having the half-filled electronic band is studied theoretically at temperatures higher…
A mechanism for orientation of bilayer classical Wigner crystals in a piezoelectric medium is considered. For the GaAs system the piezoelectric correction to the electrostatic interaction between electrons is calculated. It is shown that…
The two dimensional system of electrons in a high magnetic field offers an opportunity to investigate a phase transition from a quantum liquid into a Wigner solid. Recent experiments have revealed an incipient composite fermion liquid in a…
Using the Lindemann criterion, we analyzed the quantum and thermal melting of electronic/excitonic crystals recently discovered in two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor moir\'e patterns. We show that the finite 2D screening of the atomically…
Inspired by the recent experimental observation of strongly coupled polaritons in a Moir\'e heterobilayer, we study a model of dipole-interacting excitons localized on sites of a lattice and coupled to planar cavity photons. We calculate…
We present a mean-field description of the zig-zag phase transition of a quasi-one-dimensional system of strongly interacting particles, with interaction potential $r^{-n}e^{-r/\lambda}$, that are confined by a power-law potential…
The insulator terminating the fractional quantum Hall series at low Landau level filling \nu is generally taken to be a pinned Wigner crystal (WC), and exhibits a microwave resonance that is interpreted as a WC pinning mode. Systematically…
We present numerical exact results for the polaronic band structure of the Holstein molecular crystal model in one and two dimensions. The use of direct Lanczos diagonalization technique, preserving the full dynamics and quantum nature of…
Polarons are quasiparticles that arise from the interaction of electrons or holes with lattice vibrations. Though polarons are well-studied across multiple disciplines, experimental observations of polarons in two-dimensional crystals are…
We demonstrate an enhancement of the plane wave expansion method treating two-dimensional photonic crystals by applying Fourier factorization with generally elliptic polarization bases. By studying three examples of periodically arranged…
We study scattering of charge and spin excitations in a system of interacting electrons in one dimension. At low densities electrons form a one-dimensional Wigner crystal. To first approximation the charge excitations are the phonons in the…
Upon melting, the molecules in the crystal explore numerous configurations, reflecting an increase in disorder. The molar entropy of disorder can be defined by Bolzmann's formula dSd = Rln(Wd) where Wd is the increase in the number of…
We measure a resonance in the frequency dependence of the real diagonal conductivity, Re[$\sigma_{xx}$], near integer filling factor, $\nu=3$. This resonance depends strongly on $\nu$, with peak frequency $f_{pk} \approx 1.7$ GHz at…
The search for theoretically predicted Wigner crystal in one-dimensional (1D) wires of structurally disordered materials exhibiting properties of charge-density-waves have remained unsuccessful. Based on the results of a low temperature…
The phase diagram of a system of electrons hopping on a square lattice and interacting through long-range Coulomb forces is studied as a function of density and interaction strength. The presence of a lattice strongly enhances the stability…
As the electronic charge distribution in a wide quantum well is tuned from a single-layer through an interacting bilayer configuration to weakly-coupled parallel layers, we observe an insulating phase concurrently manifesting a dramatic…
