چکیده
We study the energy-transfer rate for electrons in a double-quantum-well structure, where the layers are coupled through screened Coulomb interactions. The energy-transfer rate between the layers (similar to the Coulomb drag effect in which the momentum transfer rate is considered) is calculated as functions of electron densities, interlayer spacing, the temperature difference of the 2DEGs, and the electron drift velocity in the drive layer. We employ the full wave vector and frequency dependent random-phase approximation at finite temperature to describe the effective interlayer Coulomb interaction. We find that the collective modes (plasmons) of the system play a dominant role in the energy-transfer rates. The contribution of optical phonons to the transfer rates has also been considered.

We show that in the lattice Hamiltonian limit the static transverse propagator D(| p|) ∝ d p 0 D(| p|, p 0) satisfies multiplicative renormalizability. We give a procedure to calculate D(| p|) on available lattices at finite temporal spacing. The result agrees at all momenta with the Gribov

The N-particle free fermion state for quantum particles in the plane subject to a perpendicular magnetic field, and with doubly periodic boundary conditions, is written in a product form. The absolute value of this is used to formulate an exactly solvable one-component plasma model, and further motivates the formulation of an exactly solvable two-species Coulomb gas. The large N expansion of th...

We analyse the low lying spectrum of a model of excitons in carbon nanotubes. Consider two particles with a Coulomb self-interaction, placed on an infinitely long cylinder. If the cylinder radius becomes small, the low lying spectrum is well described by a one-dimensional effective Hamiltonian which is exactly solvable.

The Coulomb gauge model, involving an effective QCD Hamiltonian in the Coulomb gauge, is applied to scalar hadrons. Mass predictions are presented for both conventional qq̄ meson and qq̄qq̄ tetra-quark states. Mixing matrix elements between these states were also computed and diagonalized to provide a reasonable description of the scalar spectrum below 2 GeV.

We propose that recent transport experiments revealing the existence of an energy gap in graphene nanoribbons may be understood in terms of Coulomb blockade. Electron interactions play a decisive role at the quantum dots which form due to the presence of necks arising from the roughness of the graphene edge. With the average transmission as the only fitting parameter, our theory shows good agre...
