Acoustic Cyclotron Resonance and Giant High Frequency Magnetoacoustic Oscillations in Metals with Locally Flattened Fermi Surface

Nataliya A. Zimbovskaya, Joseph L. Birman

We consider the effect of local flattening on the Fermi surface (FS) of a metal upon geometric oscillations of the velocity and attenuation of ultrasonic waves in the neighborhood…

Ultra-violet Behavior of Bosonic Quantum Membranes

Michio Kaku

We treat the action for a bosonic membrane as a sigma model, and then compute quantum corrections by integrating out higher membrane modes. As in string theory, where the equations…

Novel Phenomena in Dilute Electron Systems in Two Dimensions

M. P. Sarachik, S. V. Kravchenko

We review recent experiments that provide evidence for a transition to a conducting phase in two dimensions at very low electron densities. The nature of this phase is not understo…
