We consider hot-carrier inelastic scattering due to electron-electron interactions in graphene as functions of carrier energy and density. We calculate the imaginary part of the zero-temperature quasiparticle self-energy for doped graphene utilizing the G0W and random phases approximations. Using the full dynamically screened Coulomb interaction, we obtain the inelastic quasiparticle lifetimes ...

A superconducting single-electron transistor (SSET) coupled to an anharmonic oscillator, e.g., a Josephson junction-L-C circuit, can drive the latter to a nonequilibrium photon-number distribution. By biasing the SSET at the Josephson quasiparticle cycle, cooling of the oscillator as well as a laserlike enhancement of the photon number can be achieved. Here, we show that the cutoff in the quasi...

The spectrum of a segment of InAs nanowire, confined between two superconducting leads, was measured as function of gate voltage and superconducting phase difference using a third normal-metal tunnel probe. Subgap resonances for odd electron occupancy-interpreted as bound states involving a confined electron and a quasiparticle from the superconducting leads, reminiscent of Yu-Shiba-Rusinov sta...

It is well known that the Pauli principle plays a substantial role at low energies because the phonon operators are not ideal boson operators. Calculating the exact commutators between the quasiparticle and phonon operators one can take into account the Pauli principle corrections. Besides the ground state correlations due to the quasiparticle interaction in the ground state influence the singl...

Generating unoccupied orbitals within density functional theory (DFT) for use in GW calculations of quasiparticle energies becomes prohibitive for large systems. We show that, without any loss of accuracy, the unoccupied orbitals may be replaced by a set of simple approximate physical orbitals made from appropriately prepared plane waves and localized basis DFT orbitals that represent the conti...

We study the bulk viscosity of strange quark matter (SQM) in a quasiparticle model at finite chemical potential by extrapolating the previous quasiparticle model of finite temperature lattice QCD. The more proper bulk viscosity coefficient can be given in this model where chemical potential μ and coupling constant g are interdependent. We also apply our result to determine the critical rotation...

A consistent microscopic theory for the response of strongly coupled superfluid fermionic systems is formulated. After defining as a two-point two-fermion correlation function in basis Bogolyubov quasiparticles, equation motion (EOM) method applied using most general Hamiltonian with bare two-body interaction, also transformed to quasiparticle space. As extension case normal phase, resulting EO...

We utilize fine-tuned polarization selection coupled with excitation-energy variation of photoelectron signal to image the complete d-band dispersion relation in sodium cobaltates. A hybridization gap anticrossing is observed along the Brillouin zone corner and the full quasiparticle band is found to emerge as a many-body entity lacking a pure orbital polarization. At low dopings, the quasipart...

In a superconductor, absorption of photons with an energy below the superconducting gap leads to redistribution of quasiparticles over energy and thus induces a strong nonequilibrium quasiparticle energy distribution. We have measured the electrodynamic response, quality factor, and resonant frequency of a superconducting aluminium microwave resonator as a function of microwave power and temper...

A spectroscopic method is applied to measure the inelastic quasiparticle relaxation rate in a disordered Fermi liquid. The quasiparticle relaxation rate gamma is deduced from the magnitude of fluctuations in the local density of states, which are probed using resonant tunneling through a localized impurity state. We study its dependence on the excitation energy E measured from the Fermi level. ...
