Dynamical conductivity and its fluctuations along the crossover to many-body localization

Friday September 16th, 2016 Hrvoje Buljan 0

ABSTRACT: We present a numerical study of the many-body localization (MBL) phenomenon in the high-temperature limit within an anisotropic Heisenberg model with random local fields. Taking the dynamical spin conductivity σ(ω) as the test quantity, we investigate the full frequency dependence of sample-to-sample fluctuations and their scaling properties as a function […]

Efficient plasmonic emission by the quantum Čerenkov effect from hot carriers in graphene

Friday September 16th, 2016 Hrvoje Buljan 0

ABSTRACT: Graphene plasmons have been found to be an exciting plasmonic platform, thanks to their high field confinement and low phase velocity, motivating contemporary research to revisit established concepts in light–matter interaction. In a conceptual breakthrough over 80 years old, Čerenkov showed how charged particles emit shockwaves of light when moving […]

Whittaker modules for the affine Lie algebra A_1 ^{(1)}

Monday June 6th, 2016 leo 0

We prove the irreducibility of the universal non-degenerate Whittaker modules for the affine Lie algebra of type  with noncritical level. These modules can become simple Whittaker modules over with the same Whittaker function and central charge. We have to modulo a central character for sl2sl2 to obtain simple degenerate Whittaker […]

Polaronic metal state at the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface

Tuesday February 16th, 2016 Hrvoje Buljan 0

ABSTRACT: Interplay of spin, charge, orbital and lattice degrees of freedom in oxide heterostructures results in a plethora of fascinating properties, which can be exploited in new generations of electronic devices with enhanced functionalities. The paradigm example is the interface between the two band insulators LaAlO3 and SrTiO3 that hosts a […]
