Electron-electron thermalization and electron-phonon relaxation processes in laser-excited solids are often assumed to occur on different timescales. This is true for the majority of the conduction band electrons in a metal. However,…

In this paper, we aim to investigate the implementation of contact angles in the pseudopotential lattice Boltzmann modeling of wetting at a large density ratio. The pseudopotential lattice Boltzmann model [X. Shan and H. Chen, Phys. Rev. E…

In low-temperature glasses, the sound velocity changes as the logarithmic function of temperature below $10$K: $[c(T) - c(T_0)]/c(T_0) = \mathcal{C}\ln(T/T_0)$. With increasing temperature starting from $T=0$K, the sound velocity does not…

We report angle-resolved Raman scattering observations of the temperature dependent Landau damping of the acoustic plasmon in an electron bilayer system realised in a GaAs double quantum well structure. Corresponding calculations of the…

Recent THz spectroscopy of the quantum paraelectric SrTiO$_3$ (arXiv:2501.15771) and a high-$T_c$ cuprate (arXiv:2503.15646) has renewed interest in energy relaxation in correlated electron systems. We consider a situation in which…

A general nonperturbative theory of the low-energy electron propagator is developed and used to calculate the single-particle density of states in a variety of systems. This method involves the decoupling of the electron-electron…

The self-energy, spectral functions and susceptibilities of 2D systems with strong ferromagnetic fluctuations are considered within the quasistatic approach. The self-energy at low temperatures T has a non-Fermi liquid form in the energy…

Standard one-carrier kinetic models for thermoluminescence (TL) relate to the simple trap model (STM) and the model of localized transitions (LT). This paper presents a review of TL properties in various spatially correlated systems (SCS)…

We analyze the transport properties of a double quantum dot device in the side-coupled configuration. A small quantum dot (QD), having a single relevant electronic level, is coupled to source and drain electrodes. A larger QD, whose…

The effective attractive interaction between electrons, mediated by electron-phonon coupling, is a well-established mechanism of conventional superconductivity. In metals exhibiting a Fermi surface, the critical temperature of…

The collective excitation of the conduction electrons in subwavelength structures gives rise to the Localized Surface Plasmon(LSP). The system consisting of two such LSPs, known as the dimer system,is of fundamental interest and is being…

We report a new method to study two level fluctuators (TLFs) by measuring the offset charge induced after applying a sudden step voltage to the gate electrode of a single electron transistor. The offset charge is measured for more than 20…

Glasses and other non-crystalline solids exhibit thermal and acoustic properties at low temperatures anomalously different from those found in crystalline solids, and with a remarkable degree of universality. Below a few K, these universal…

First-order phase transitions in the early universe have rich phenomenological implications, such as the production of a potentially detectable signal of stochastic relic background gravitational waves. The hypothesis that new, strongly…

We study the effect of a quantum quench between two tunnel coupled Tomonaga-Luttinger liquids (TLLs) with different speed of sound and interaction parameter. The quench dynamics is induced by switching off the tunnelling and letting the two…

The theory and experiments concerned with the electron-ion thermal relaxation and melting of overheated crystal lattice constitute the subject of this paper. The physical model includes two-temperature equation of state, many-body…

Quantum lattice systems are rigorously studied at low temperatures. When the Hamiltonian of the system consists of a potential (diagonal) term and a - small - off-diagonal matrix containing typically quantum effects, such as a hopping…

In this work, we develop a phase-field-based lattice Boltzmann (LB) method for a two-scalar model of the two-phase flows with interfacial mass/heat transfer. Through the Chapman-Enskog analysis, we show that the present LB method can…

We present a comprehensive theory for interrogation of the quantum state of a two-level system (TLS) based on a free-electron - bound-electron resonant interaction scheme. The scheme is based on free electrons, whose quantum electron…

Insisting on the relevance of spin-statistics theorem, I propose that anomalous low-energy excitations of strongly-noncrystalline solids (SNSs), observed at low temperatures T < 1 K, are fermions, which are localized and weakly interacting.…
