Theory of charge density wave depinning by electromechanical effect
P. Quemerais
We discuss the first theory for the depinning of low dimensional, incommensurate, charge density waves (CDWs) in the strong electron-phonon (e-p) regime. Arguing that most real CDW…
Nature of metal-nonmetal transition in metal-ammonia solutions. II. From uniform metallic state to inhomogeneous electronic microstructure
Gennady N. Chuev, Pascal Quemerais
Applying semi-analytical models of nonideal plasma, we evaluate the behavior of the metallic phase in metal-ammonia solutions (MAS). This behavior is mainly controlled by the degen…
Nature of the metal-nonmetal transition in metal-ammonia solutions. I. Solvated electrons at low metal concentrations
Gennady N. Chuev, Pascal Quemerais, Jason Crain
Using a theory of polarizable fluids, we extend a variational treatment of an excess electron to the many-electron case corresponding to finite metal concentrations in metal-ammoni…
Role of commensurate arrangements in the optical response of metallic gratings
A. Barbara, J. Le Perchec, P. Quemerais +4
Light localization on commensurate arrangements of metallic sub-wavelength grooves is studied. We theoretically show that as the degree of commensuration tends to an irrational num…
Why metallic surfaces with grooves a few nanometers deep and wide may strongly absorb visible light
J. Le Perchec, P. Quemerais, A. Barbara +1
It is theoretically shown that nanometric silver lamellar gratings present very strong visible light absorption inside the grooves, leading to electric field intensities by several…
Herzfeld instability versus Mott transition in metal-ammonia solutions
Gennady N. Chuev, Pascal Quemerais
Although most metal-insulator transitions in doped insulators are generally viewed as Mott transitions, some systems seem to deviate from this scenario. Alkali metal-ammonia soluti…
