The thermodynamics of an electrically charged, multicomponent continuous medium with electromagnetic fields is analysed in the non-relativistic limit. Applying locally the first and second law of thermodynamics and Maxwell’s equations for a linear theory of electromagnetism, three equations...

Using X-microtomography and non equilibrium classical molecular dynamics, we present a study of the elementary processes of spallation of single crystal tantalum. The single crystal is illuminated by a laser pulse which induces the propagation of a strong unsustained shock. The analysed data...

In quasicrystalline tilings often multifractal electronic wave functions can be found. In order to obtain a better insight into their localization properties, we study the wave functions of quasiperiodic tilings in momentum space. The models are based on one-dimensional quasiperiodic chains, in...

A general technique of exact calculation of any correlation functions for the special class of one-dimensional spin models containing small clusters of quantum spins assembled to a chain by alternating with the single Ising spins is proposed. The technique is a natural generalization of that in...

Under external transverse electronic fields, the structure and electronic properties of the silicene nanoribbon with armchair edge (ASiNR) are studied. We find that the electric properties are modified by a transverse electric field. As affected by a transverse electric field, the band gap...

We consider the propagation of a variable electromagnetic field in a thin film of a topological insulator in low temperatures case at the presence of electric field. As a result we obtain an effective equation on the vector-potential amplitude of a variable electromagnetic field. We also detect...

The role of Coulomb disorder is analysed in the Anderson-Falicov-Kimball model. Phase diagrams are obtained by means of dynamical mean-field theory applied to the Bethe lattice, in which metal-insulator transitions driven by Anderson and Coulomb disorder can be identified. Metallic, Mott...

In this study, we explore the ratchet effect in graphene with artificial, triangular scatterers from a theoretical standpoint. It is demonstrated that the skew scattering of carriers by such coherently oriented defects results in the ratchet effect in graphene, i.e., in a direct current under...

We study the thermal transport of a spin-1/2 two leg antiferromagnetic ladder in the direction of legs. The possible effect of spin-orbit coupling and crystalline electric field are investigated in terms of anisotropies in the Heisenberg interactions on both leg and rung couplings. The original...

We consider gated graphene nanoribbons subject to Berry-Mondragon boundary conditions in the presence of weak impurities. Using field-theoretical methods, we calculate the density of charge carriers (and, thus, the quantum capacitance) as well as the optical and DC conductivities at zero...
