We study the energy transport in a system of two half-infinite XXZ chains initially kept separated at different temperatures, and later connected and let free to evolve unitarily. By changing independently the parameters of the two halves,…
We study the electrical conductivity in a nodal-line semimetal with charged impurities. The screening of the Coulomb potential in this system is qualitatively different from what is found in conventional metals or semiconductors, with the…
We first investigate the form the General Relativity Theory would have taken had the gravitational mass and the inertial mass of material objects been different. We then extend this analysis to electromagnetism and postulate an equivalence…
We calculate the thermal conductivity of interacting electrons in disordered metals. In our analysis we point out that the interaction affects thermal transport through two distinct mechanims, associated with quantum interference…
Using a first principles approach, we study the electron transport properties of a new class of molecular wires containing fluorenone units, whose features open up new possibilities for controlling transport through a single molecule. We…
We present a general virial theorem for quantum particles with arbitrary zero-range or finite-range interactions in an arbitrary external potential. We deduce virial theorems for several situations relevant to trapped cold atoms: zero-range…
We describe the effects of phase coherence on transport and thermodynamic properties of a disordered conducting network. In analogy with weak-localization correction, we calculate the phase coherence contribution to the magnetic response of…
The proton and neutron make up over 99.9\% of visible matter in the universe. The internal structure of protons, governed by ElectroMagnetic Form Factors (EMFFs), has been probed in both space-like (SL) and time-like (TL) regions. The…
The uniform electron gas placed between two reservoirs is used as a model system for molecular junctions under an external bias. The energetics of the electron gas are calculated by generalizing the Thomas-Fermi-Dirac (TFD) model to…
First-principles calculations can accurately describe electron-phonon (e-ph) interactions and electronic transport in a wide range of materials, but are currently limited to unit cells with up to $\sim$100 atoms due to computational cost.…
If the presence of a gravitational field breaks the Lorentz symmetry valid for special relativity, an "absolute motion" might be detectable. We summarize a scalar theory of gravity with a such "ether", which starts from a tentative…
The break-down of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation is an important topic in chemical dynamics on metal surfaces. In this context, the most frequently used "work-horse" is electronic friction theory, commonly relying on friction…
Gravitation might make a preferred frame appear, and with it a clear space/time separation--the latter being, a priori, needed by quantum mechanics (QM) in curved space-time. Several models of gravitation with an ether are discussed: they…
Screening of the electric field of a test charge by monolayer and double-layer composite fermion systems is considered. It is shown that the electric field of the test charge is partly screened at distances much large then the magnetic…
We solve the one-dimensional Poisson equation along a magnetic field line, both analytically and numerically, for a given current density incorporating effects of returning positrons. We find that the number of returning positrons per one…
A unified approach to the calculation of dispersive forces on ground-state bodies and atoms is given. It is based on the ground-state Lorentz force density acting on the charge and current densities attributed to the polarization and…
It is shown that the pre-metric approach to Maxwell's equations provides an alternative to the traditional Einstein-Maxwell unification program, namely, that electromagnetism and gravitation are unified in a different way that makes the…
It is well known that electric and magnetic fields may change when they are observed from different frames of reference. For example, the motion of a charged probe particle moving parallel to a current-carrying wire would be described by…
A theory of electromagnetism is proposed that is based on the Fermi Lagrangian, which is symmetric under electromagnetic spin rotation. Its features are: - the four-potential is unambiguously determined by the inhomogeneous wave equation…
We calculate the thermophoretic drift of a charged single colloidal particle with hydrodynamically slipping surface immersed in an electrolyte solution in response to a small temperature gradient. Here, we rely on a linearized hydrodynamic…
