Collision Theory for Two- and Three-Particle Systems Interacting via Short-Range and Coulomb Forces
1996
In two- and three-particle reactions with light nuclei, a rich body of precise experimental data exists in which both projectile and target and/or the fragments occurring in the final state are charged. In order to make optimal use of these data for extracting physically interesting information about the nuclear interactions, the effects of the Coulomb force must be separated out in a reliable manner. For this purpose the mastering of the intricacies of charged-particle scattering theory is of vital importance.
Direct method for calculating temperature-dependent transport properties
2015
We show how temperature-induced disorder can be combined in a direct way with first-principles scattering theory to study diffusive transport in real materials. Excellent (good) agreement with experiment is found for the resistivity of Cu, Pd, Pt (and Fe) when lattice (and spin) disorder are calculated from first principles. For Fe, the agreement with experiment is limited by how well the magnetization (of itinerant ferromagnets) can be calculated as a function of temperature. By introducing a simple Debye-like model of spin disorder parameterized to reproduce the experimental magnetization, the temperature dependence of the average resistivity, the anisotropic magnetoresistance and the spi…
Inelastic neutron scattering due to acoustic vibrations confined in nanoparticles: theory and experiment
2008
The inelastic scattering of neutrons by nanoparticles due to acoustic vibrational modes (energy below 10 meV) confined in nanoparticles is calculated using the Zemach-Glauber formalism. Such vibrational modes are commonly observed by light scattering techniques (Brillouin or low-frequency Raman scattering). We also report high resolution inelastic neutron scattering measurements for anatase TiO2 nanoparticles in a loose powder. Factors enabling the observation of such vibrations are discussed. These include a narrow nanoparticle size distribution which minimizes inhomogeneous broadening of the spectrum and the presence of hydrogen atoms oscillating with the nanoparticle surfaces which enhan…
Singularity formation in the Gross-Pitaevskii equation and collapse in Bose-Einstein condensates
2004
We study the mechanisms of collapse of the condensate wave function in the Gross-Pitaevskii theory with attractive interparticle interaction. We reformulate the Gross-Pitaevskii equation as Newton's equations for a flux of particles, and introduce the collapsing fraction of particles. We assume that this collapsing fraction is expelled from the condensate due to dissipation. Using this hypothesis we analyze the dependence of the collapse behavior on the initial conditions. We find that, for a properly chosen negative scattering length, the remnant fraction of atoms becomes larger when the initial aspect ratio of the condensate is increased.

Entanglement interferometry for precision measurement of atomic scattering properties.
2003
We report on a two-particle matter wave interferometer realized with pairs of trapped 87Rb atoms. Each pair of atoms is confined at a single site of an optical lattice potential. The interferometer is realized by first creating a coherent spin-mixture of the two atoms and then tuning the inter-state scattering length via a Feshbach resonance. The selective change of the inter-state scattering length leads to an entanglement dynamics of the two-particle state that can be detected in a Ramsey interference experiment. This entanglement dynamics is employed for a precision measurement of atomic interaction parameters. Furthermore, the interferometer allows to separate lattice sites with one or …
Investigation of Feshbach resonances in ultracold K40 spin mixtures
2017
Magnetically tunable Feshbach resonances are an indispensable tool for experiments with atomic quantum gases. We report on 37 thus far unpublished Feshbach resonances and four further probable Feshbach resonances in spin mixtures of ultracold fermionic $^{40}\mathrm{K}$ with temperatures well below 100 nK. In particular, we locate a broad resonance at $B=389.7\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}\text{G}$ with a magnetic width of $26.7\phantom{\rule{0.28em}{0ex}}\text{G}$. Here $1\phantom{\rule{0.28em}{0ex}}\text{G}={10}^{\ensuremath{-}4}\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}\text{T}$. Furthermore, by exciting low-energy spin waves, we demonstrate a means to precisely determine the zero crossing of the scatte…
FERMION CONDENSATION, T -LINEAR RESISTIVITY AND PLANCKIAN LIMIT
2019
We explain recent challenging experimental observations of universal scattering rate related to the linear-temperature resistivity exhibited by a large corps of both strongly correlated Fermi systems and conventional metals. We show that the observed scattering rate in strongly correlated Fermi systems like heavy fermion metals and high-$T_c$ superconductors stems from phonon contribution that induce the linear temperature dependence of a resistivity. The above phonons are formed by the presence of flat band, resulting from the topological fermion condensation quantum phase transition (FCQPT). We emphasize that so - called Planckian limit, widely used to explain the above universal scatteri…
Flat Bands and Salient Experimental Features Supporting the Fermion Condensation Theory of Strongly Correlated Fermi
2020
The physics of strongly correlated Fermi systems, being the mainstream topic for more than half a century, still remains elusive. Recent advancements in experimental techniques permit to collect important data, which, in turn, allow us to make the conclusive statements about the underlying physics of strongly correlated Fermi systems. Such systems are close to a special quantum critical point represented by topological fermion-condensation quantum phase transition which separates normal Fermi liquid and that with a fermion condensate, forming flat bands. Our review paper considers recent exciting experimental observations of universal scattering rate related to linear temperature dependence…
