Cooper's original one pair problem in continuum is revisited here corresponding to a lattice of tight binding nature, with an aim to investigate superconductivity in low dimensional systems. An electronic type of boson mediated attraction…

Understanding overcharging and charge inversion is one of the long-standing challenges in soft matter and biophysics. To study these phenomena, we employ the modified Gaussian renormalized fluctuation theory, which allows for the…

We present a thermodynamic description of ultracold gases with dipolar interactions which properly accounts for the long-range nature and broken rotation invariance of the interactions. It involves an additional thermodynamic field…

Strong coupling phenomena, such as the like charged macroions attraction, opposite charged macroions repulsion, charge renormalization or charge inversion, are known to be mediated by multivalent counterions. Most theories treat the…

We present a family of correlations constraints that apply to all multipartite quantum systems of finite dimension. The size of this family is exponential in the number of subsystems. We obtain these relations by defining and investigating…

Nonequilibrium Langmuir monolayers including a fraction of chiral molecules and subject to transmembrane flow are considered. The flow induces coherent collective precession of chiral molecules. Our theoretical study shows that splay…

Two collective properties distinguishing the thin liquid water vapour interface from the bulk liquid are the anisotropy of the pressure tensor giving rise to surface tension and the orientational alignment of the molecules leading to a…

We investigate the ion distribution and overcharging at charged interfaces with dielectric inhomogeneities in the presence of asymmetric electrolytes containing polyvalent and monovalent ions. We formulate an effective "dressed counterion"…

Strong short ranged positional correlations involving counterions can induce a net attractive force between negatively charged strands of DNA, and lead to the formation of ion pairs in dilute ionic solutions. But the long range of the…

Under an applied traction, highly concentrated suspensions of solid particles in fluids can turn from a state in which they flow to a state in which they counteract the traction as an elastic solid: a shear-jammed state. Remarkably, the…

We investigate the statistical mechanics of an inhomogeneous Coulomb fluid composed of charged particles with static polarizability. We derive the weak- and the strong-coupling approximations and evaluate the partition function in a planar…

The statistical-mechanical study of the equilibrium properties of fluids, starting from the knowledge of the interparticle interaction potential, is essential to understand the role that microscopic interaction between individual particles…

At interfaces between conventional materials, band bending and alignment are classically controlled by differences in electrochemical potential. Applying this concept to oxides in which interfaces can be polar and cations may adopt a mixed…

Two theories for associating fluids recently used to study clustering in models for self-assembling patchy particles, Wertheim's and Bjerrum-Tani-Henderson theories, are carefully compared. We show that, for a fluid allowing only for…

The contact value theorem was originally derived for Coulomb fluids of mobile charged particles in thermal equilibrium, in the presence of interfaces carrying a {\em uniform} surface charge density and in the absence of dielectric…

We study the Hall constant in a homogeneous two-dimensional fluid of correlated electrons immersed in a perpendicular magnetic field, with special focus on the regime of low carrier density. The model consists of a one-band tight-binding…

The nature of electrostatic interaction between like-charged particles at water-air interface is analyzed in this paper. We show that long-ranged electrostatic dipolar attraction between these objects generally exists. Our result provides a…

Under the introduction of any interface in its trajectory, an optical beam experiences polarization-dependent deflections in the longitudinal and transverse directions with respect to the plane of incidence. The physics of such optical beam…

Within a modified Poisson-Boltzmann theory we study the effect of Bjerrum pairs on the typical length scale $1/\bar{\kappa}$ over which electric fields are screened in electrolyte solutions, taking into account a simple…

We characterize the role of electrostatic fluctuations on the charge selectivity of cylindrical nanopores confining electrolyte mixtures. To this end, we develop an extended one-loop theory that can account for correlation effects induced…
