Mesoscopic Anderson Box: Connecting Weak to Strong Coupling

Sébastien Burdin 2, Harold U. Baranger 1, Denis Ullmo 3 Physical Review B 85, 15 (2012) 155455 Both the weakly coupled and strong coupling Anderson impurity problems are characterized by a Fermi-liquid theory with weakly interacting quasiparticles. In an Anderson box, mesoscopic fluctuations of the effective single particle properties will be large. We study how the statistical fluctuations at low temperature

Material dependence of Casimir forces: gradient expansion beyond proximity

G. Bimonte 1, T. Emig 2, M. Kardar 3 Applied Physics Letters 100 (2012) 074110 A widely used method for estimating Casimir interactions [H. B. G. Casimir, Proc. K. Ned. Akad. Wet. 51, 793 (1948)] between gently curved material surfaces at short distances is the proximity force approximation (PFA). While this approximation is asymptotically exact at vanishing separations, quantifying corrections to

Level statistics of disordered spin-1/2 systems and its implications for materials with localized Cooper pairs

Emilio Cuevas, Mikhail Feigel’man, Lev Ioffe, Marc Mezard Nature Communications 3 (2012) 1128 The origin of continuous energy spectra in large disordered interacting quantum systems is one of the key unsolved problems in quantum physics. While small quantum systems with discrete energy levels are noiseless and stay coherent forever in the absence of any coupling

Lane formation in a lattice model for oppositely driven binary particles

Hiroki Ohta 1 Europhysics Letters 99 (2012) 40006 Oppositely driven binary particles with repulsive interactions on the square lattice are investigated at the zero-temperature limit. Two classes of steady states related to stuck configurations and lane formations have been constructed in systematic ways under certain conditions. A mean-field type analysis carried out using a percolation problem based
