The physical origin is investigated of Robin boundary conditions for wave functions at an infinite reflecting wall. We consider both Schr\"odinger and phase-space quantum mechanics (a.k.a. deformation quantization), for this simple example…

We consider the many-body ground state of polarized fermions interacting via zero-range $\mathfrak{p}$-wave forces in a one-dimensional geometry. We rigorously prove that in the limit of infinite attractions spectral properties of any-order…

We have shown how the interplay between the broken symmetry associated with the finite single-wall nanotubes (SWNT) and the boundary conditions affects the electronic properties of SWNTs in a profound way. For finite SWNTs (p,q)…

We report on microscopic tight-binding modeling of surface states in Bi$_2$Se$_3$ three-dimensional topological insulator, based on a sp$^3$ Slater-Koster Hamiltonian, with parameters calculated from density functional theory. The effect of…

In this paper we consider high-frequency acoustic transmission problems with jumping coefficients modelled by Helmholtz equations. The solution then is highly oscillatory and, in addition, may be localized in a very small vicinity of…

Quantum phases of matter are routinely identified by coherence features, with interference patterns being one of the most directly observable quantities. In lattices, the superfluid-to-Mott-insulator (SF-MI) transition is commonly viewed as…

Dispersionless (flat) electronic bands are investigated regarding their conductance properties. Due to "caging" of carriers these bands are usually insulating at partial filling, at least on the non-interacting level. Considering the…

The goal of the present work is to solve a linear dispersive equation with variable coefficient advection on an unbounded domain. In this setting, transparent boundary conditions are vital to allow waves to leave (or even re-enter) the,…

Considering pure transmission scattering problems in piecewise constant media, we derive an exact analytic formula for the spectrum of the corresponding local multi-trace boundary integral operators in the case where the geometrical…

The notion of a band gap is ubiquitous in the characterization of matter. Particularly interesting are pseudo-gaps, which are enigmatic regions of very low density of states that have been linked to novel phenomena like high temperature…

Orbital degeneracy of the electronic conduction band edge in silicon is a potential roadblock to the storage and manipulation of quantum information involving the electronic spin degree of freedom in this host material. This difficulty may…

We study the low-energy spectrum of a single hole confined in a planar Ge quantum dot (QD) within the effective-mass formalism. The QD is sandwiched between two GeSi barriers of finite potential height grown along the [001] direction. To…

We propose a criterion to determine the existence of zero-energy edge states for a class of particle-hole symmetric systems. A loop is assigned for each system, and its topology and a symmetry play an essential role. Applications to d-wave…

As a model for describing finite-size effects in topological insulator thin films, we study a one-dimensional (1D) effective model of a topological insulator (TI). Using this effective 1D model, we reveal the precise correspondence between…

Topological insulators (TIs) have been considered as promising candidates for next generation of electronic devices due to their topologically protected quantum transport phenomena. In this work, a scheme for atomic-scale field effect…

The turbulent/non-turbulent interface is analysed in a direct numerical simulation of a boundary layer in the range $Re_\theta=2800-6600$, with emphasis on the behaviour of the relatively large-scale fractal intermittent region. This…

We study theoretically an influence of the near-interfacial insulator traps and electron-hole puddles on the small-signal capacitance and conductance characteristics of the gated graphene structures. Based on the self-consistent…

The electron-hole symmetry in the structure "graphene - insulating substrate -semiconductor gate" is violated due to an asymmetrical drop of potential in the semiconductor gate under positive or negative biases. The gate voltage…

We prove that the imaginary parts of scattering resonances for negatively curved asymptotically hyperbolic surfaces are uniformly bounded away from zero and provide a resolvent bound in the resulting resonance-free strip. This provides an…

We consider a junction between two topological insulators, and calculate the properties of the interface states with an effective low energy Hamiltonian for topological insulators with a single cone on the surface. This system bears a close…
