Currently there is ambiguity about the space group of the first high pressure phase of ZrO<Subscript>2</Subscript>. Early Raman spectroscopic measurements on a single crystal in a diamond anvil cell pointed to a structural transformation at 3.5 GPa, and later in-situ X-ray diffraction studies concluded that this...</subscript>

Fourth-order strong-coupling degenerate perturbation theory is used to derive an effective low-energy Hamiltonian for the Kondo-lattice model with a depleted system of localized spins. In the strong-J limit, completely local Kondo singlets are formed at the spinful sites which bind a fraction of...

The atomic stick-slip behavior of Prandtl-Tomlinson model sliding on 2D deformable substrate is studied. The influence of the shape of the interaction potential is investigated in details in the well-known phenomenon of the two-dimensional stick-slip friction. Numerical simulations are built to...

We present Monte Carlo simulations of three-dimensional systems of vortex lines in the presence of random columnar defects using the Lawrence-Doniach model with BSCCO parameters. In particular, we study the structure factor and the vortex-vortex correlation length along the field (B) direction,...

We show that in a weak external magnetic field H the quasi-particle residue and the renormalized electron Landé factor of two-dimensional Fermi liquids exhibit a non-analytic magnetic field dependence proportional to | H | which is due to electron-electron interactions and the Zeeman effect. We...

Based on the metastable electron-pair energy band in a two-dimensional (2D) periodic potential obtained previously by Hai and Castelano [J. Phys.: Condens. Matter <Emphasis Type="Bold">26, 115502 (2014)], we present in this work a Hamiltonian of many electrons consisting of single electrons and electron pairs in the...</emphasis>

We investigate the influence of diagonal and off-diagonal disorder potentials on superconductivity in an attractive Hubbard model. The study is motivated by recent experimental and theoretical interest in understanding the microscopic mechanism by which impurities destroy superconductivity. In...

The BCS to BEC crossover in attractive Fermi systems is a prototype of weak to strong coupling evolution in many body physics. While extensive numerical results are available, and several approximate methods have been developed, most of these schemes are unsuccessful in the presence of spatial...

We investigate the properties of a graphene system taking into account both the on-site Coulomb repulsion and the Rashba spin-orbit coupling caused by a transverse electric field by using a mean-field approximation of the Hubbard model. It is found that by increasing the strength of the Rashba...

We study a model of an electron on a cylindrical surface, which is coupled to the torsion field due to a dislocation along the axis of the cylinder. We discuss the effect of this torsion field on the energy spectrum of the electrons and analytically calculate persistent currents in the presence...
