We study the effects of diffusion on a $\Lambda$-gradient echo memory, which is a coherent optical quantum memory using thermal gases. The efficiency of this memory is high for short storage time, but decreases exponentially due to…

It is shown that the conductance relaxations observed in electrical field effect measurements on granular Al films are the sum of two contributions. One is sensitive to gate voltage changes and gives the already reported anomalous…

In this paper, we review the general features of the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of spin glasses. We use this example as a guideline for a brief description of glassy dynamics in other disordered systems like structural and polymer glasses,…

In this work we investigate an unusual transport phenomenon observed in two-dimensional electron gas under integer quantum Hall effect conditions. Our calculations are based on the screening theory, using a semi-analytical model. The…

The Kovacs effect is a remarkable feature of the ageing dynamics of glass forming liquids near the glass transition temperature. It consists in a non-monotonous evolution of the volume/enthalpy after a succession of two abrupt temperature…

The dephasing effect of metallic gates on electrons moving in one quasi--one--dimensional diffusive wires is analyzed. The incomplete screening in this geometry implies that the effect of the gate can be described, at high energies or…

While memory effects have been reported for dense enough disordered systems such as glasses, we show here by a combination of analytical and simulation techniques that they are also intrinsic to the dynamics of dilute granular gases. By…

The anomalous magnetic field dependence of dielectric properties of insulating glasses in the temperature interval $10mK<T<50mK$ is considered. In this temperature range, the dielectric permittivity is defined by the resonant contribution…

New low frequency ac susceptibility measurements on two different spin glasses show that cooling/heating the sample at a constant rate yields an essentially reversible (but rate dependent) X(T) curve; a downward relaxation of X occurs…

We report results demonstrating a singularity in the hysteresis of magnetic materials, the reversal-field memory effect. This effect creates a nonanalyticity in the magnetization curves at a particular point related to the history of the…

Using a simple diagram technique we derive the electric-dipole echo amplitude from two-level systems with a quadrupole nuclear moment in glasses in an external magnetic field. We show, that due to the quadrupole moment interaction of a…

We present a study of non-equilibrium phenomena observed in the electrical conductance of insulating granular aluminium thin films. An anomalous field effect and its slow relaxation are studied in some detail. The phenomenology is very…

The memory window of floating gate (FG) type non-volatile memory (NVM) devices is a fundamental figure of merit used not only to evaluate the performance, such as retention and endurance, but also to discuss the feasibility of advanced…

Information storage is a key element of autonomous, out-of-equilibrium dynamics, especially for biological and synthetic active matter. In synthetic active matter however, the implementation of internal memory in self-propelled systems is…

The effect of a magnetic field on the dipole echo amplitude in glasses at temperatures of about 10 mK caused by nonspherical nuclei with electric quadrupole moments has been studied theoretically. It has been shown that in this case, the…

We present a combined experimental and theoretical study of memory effects in vibration-induced compaction of granular materials. In particular, the response of the system to an abrupt change in shaking intensity is measured. At short times…

We study (In,Ga)(As,Sb)/GaAs quantum dots embedded in a GaP (100) matrix, which are overgrown by a thin GaSb capping layer with variable thickness. Quantum dot samples are studied by temperature-dependent photoluminescence, and we observe…

Transport measurements made on films of thallium-oxide (n-type semiconductor) are presented and discussed. The focus in this work is on the strongly-localized regime where charge transport is by variable-range-hopping. It is demonstrated…

The anomalous response of glasses in the echo amplitude experiment is explained in the presence of a magnetic field. We have considered the low energy excitations in terms of an effective two level system. The effective model is constructed…

The effects of reflecting boundaries on vacuum electric field fluctuations are treated. The presence of the boundaries can enhance these fluctuations and possibly lead to observable effects. The electric field fluctuations lead to voltage…
