Normally in superconductors, as in conductors, in the state with zero current $I$ the momentum of superconducting electrons $\hbar q =0$. Here we demonstrate theoretically and present experimental evidences that in superconducting/normal…
Illumination of a two-dimensional system by a twisted light beam is considered in order to find specific effects caused by twisting. Direct interband transitions between the valence and conduction bands are supposed. The generation rates of…
We use a novel technique to experimentally explore transport properties through a single metallic nanoparticle with variable coupling to electric leads. For strong dot-lead coupling the conductance is an oscillatory function of the gate…
No physical measurement can be performed with infinite precision. This leaves a loophole in the standard no-go arguments against non-contextual hidden variables. All such arguments rely on choosing special sets of quantum-mechanical…
We discuss theoretically the properties of an electromechanical oscillating system whose operation is based upon the cyclic conservative conversion between gravitational potential, kinetic, and magnetic energies. The system consists of a…
Electronic coherences are key to understanding and controlling photo-induced molecular transformations. We identify a crucial quantum-mechanical feature of electron-nuclear correlation, the projected nuclear quantum momenta, essential to…
The symmetric tensor energy-impulse of interaction of collective of electric charges with an electromagnetic field is received. A system of covariant energy and momentum conservation equations or a system of equations for the collective…
The dynamics of active matter driven by interacting molecular motors has a non-potential structure at the local scale. However, we show that there exists a quasi-potential effectively describing the collective self-organization of the…
Coulomb drag is a process whereby the repulsive interactions between electrons in spatially separated conductors enable a current flowing in one of the conductors to induce a voltage drop in the other. If the second conductor is part of a…
The chemical potential of a quantum dot parabolically confining one or two electrons is studied in an axial magnetic field. The number of electrons in the dot is given by combination between the chemical potentials of the dots and leads.…
We perform a detailed study of the connection between hidden momentum and the Abraham-Minkowski debate about the electromagnetic momentum density in material media. The results of a previous work on the subject [P. L. Saldanha and J. S.…
We calculate non-perturbatively the inelastic effects on the conductance through a conjugated molecular wire-metal heterojunction, including realistic electron-phonon coupling. We show that at sub-band-gap energies the current is dominated…
This tutorial article presents a "bottom-up" view of electrical resistance starting from something really small, like a molecule, and then discussing the issues that arises as we move to bigger conductors. Remarkably, no serious quantum…
The concept of the energy gap is a fundamental characteristic of the band structure of a material and it determines its physical properties. Formally the energy gap appears in the dispersion relation $E_k$, where the vector $k$ is…
It is demonstrated, owing to the nonlinearity of QED, that a static charge placed in a strong magnetic field\ $B$\ is a magnetic dipole (besides remaining an electric monopole, as well). Its magnetic moment grows linearly with $B$ as long…
This paper deals with an application of the notion of barrier in mixed constrained nonlinear systems to an example of a pendulum mounted on a cart with non-rigid cable, whose dynamics may switch to free-fall when the tension of the cable…
Study of various interesting features related to the nonlinear electrical response in composite materials through a model bond percolative system.
We consider the electromagnetic field generated by a coherent conductor in which electron transport is described quantum mechanically. We obtain an input-output relation linking the quantum current in the conductor to the measured…
We propose a mechanism and develop a theory for nonreciprocal Coulomb drag resistance. This effect arises in electron double-layer systems in the presence of an in-plane magnetic field in noncentrosymmetric conductors or in bilayers with…
The angular momentum of the physical electron, modelled as a Dirac fermion coupled to the electromagnetic field, is found to be hbar/2, the same as that of a bare Dirac fermion and independent of the size of the electric charge.
