Variational Polaron Method for Bose-Bose Mixtures

David Benjamin, Eugene Demler

We study degenerate mixtures of "heavy" bosons and "light" superfluid bosons using a variational polaron transformation. We consider the Mott insulator-superfluid transition of the…

Friedel Oscillations as a Probe of Fermionic Quasiparticles

Emanuele G. Dalla Torre, David Benjamin, Yang He +2

When immersed in a see of cold electrons, local impurities give rise to density modulations known as Friedel oscillations. In spite of the generality of this phenomenon, the exact…

Exploring Quasiparticles in High-Tc Cuprates Through Photoemission, Tunneling, and X-ray Scattering Experiments

Emanuele G. Dalla Torre, Yang He, David Benjamin +1

One of the key challenges in the field of high-temperature superconductivity is understanding the nature of fermionic quasiparticles. Experiments consistently demonstrate the exist…

Probing Competing and Intertwined Orders with Resonant Inelastic x-ray Scattering in the Hole-Doped Cuprates

David Benjamin, Israel Klich, Eugene Demler

We develop a formalism to study indirect resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) in systems with itinerant electrons, accounting for the attraction between valence electrons and…

Microscopic theory of resonant soft x-ray scattering in systems with charge order

David Benjamin, Dmitry Abanin, Peter Abbamonte +1

We present a microscopic theory of resonant soft x-ray scattering (RSXS) that accounts for the delocalized character of valence electrons. Unlike past approaches defined in terms o…

Superconducting pairing in resonant inelastic X-ray scattering

Yifei Shi, David Benjamin, Eugene Demler +1

We develop a method to study the effect of the superconducting transition on resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) signal in superconductors with an order parameter with an ar…

Quasiparticle Theory of Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering in high-T cuprates

David Benjamin, Israel Klich, Eugene Demler

We develop a formalism for calculating resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) spectra in systems of itinerant electrons with arbitrary band structures, accounting for the effec…
