A new study published in Nature Physics introduces a theory of electron-phonon coupling that is affected by the quantum geometry of the electronic wavefunctions. The movement of electrons in a lattice ...

For years, one tiny mismatch in particle physics carried outsized hopes. The muon, a heavier and short-lived cousin of the ...

Plasma forms in gaps ten times smaller than classical theory predicts possible, driven by electron cascades on the substrate ...

Résumé of the many-electron problem -- The occupation number representation (second quantization) -- The Hartree-Fock method and the free-electron gas -- Plasma oscillations in a free-electron gas -- ...

A University of Michigan study suggests that shortening laser pulses to subcycle durations can increase quantum efficiency in photoemission by up to 10 orders of magnitude without raising power or ...
