Physicists at Georgia Tech developed a unified theory describing coexistence of liquid and pinned solid phases of electrons in 2D under magnetic field. The theory predicts transition between phases as field is varied, showing emergence of hexagonal Wigner crystal with enhanced stability due to quantum correlations.
Researchers at Kiel University have discovered a novel state of crystal matter with both compressible and incompressible properties. The discovery was made using extensive computer simulations and sheds light on the behavior of excitons, hydrogen atom-like bound states of electrons and holes.
Researchers at Brookhaven National Laboratory found that thin layers of copper-oxide materials exhibit wild electron spin fluctuations, a hallmark of quantum spin liquids. This discovery may be crucial to understanding high-temperature superconductivity.
Physicists at Rice University and Princeton University have found that ultracold mixes of electrons can have 'topological' properties making them immune to information degradation in quantum computers. The discovery could pave the way for the development of fault-tolerant quantum computers.
Scientists have discovered that higher energies cause Bose quasiparticles to decay, leading to spectrum termination in certain materials. The research, conducted using neutron scattering measurements, confirms predictions made by Russian Nobel Prize-winning physicist L.D. Landau.
Physicists at Northwestern University have demonstrated that superfluid helium-3 can conduct sound waves transversely, a property previously observed in solids. This discovery provides conclusive proof of the existence of transverse sound waves in liquid helium-3 and opens up new possibilities for studying its internal structure.
