Enhancement of hopping conductivity by spontaneous fractal ordering of low-energy sites
Tianran Chen, Brian Skinner
Variable-range hopping conductivity has long been understood in terms of a canonical prescription for relating the single-particle density of states to the temperature-dependent co…
Coulomb disorder in three-dimensional Dirac systems
Brian Skinner
In three-dimensional materials with a Dirac spectrum, weak short-ranged disorder is essentially irrelevant near the Dirac point. This is manifestly not the case for Coulomb disorde…
The price of anarchy is maximized at the percolation threshold
Brian Skinner
When many independent users try to route traffic through a network, the flow can easily become suboptimal as a consequence of congestion of the most efficient paths. The degree of…
Coulomb gap triptychs, effective charge, and hopping transport in periodic arrays of superconductor grains
Tianran Chen, Brian Skinner, B. I. Shklovskii
In granular superconductors, individual grains can contain bound Cooper pairs while the system as a whole is strongly insulating. In such cases the conductivity is determined by el…
Coulomb gap in the one-particle density of states in three-dimensional systems with localized electrons
A. L. Efros, Brian Skinner, B. I. Shklovskii
The one-particle density of states (1P-DOS) in a system with localized electron states vanishes at the Fermi level due to the Coulomb interaction between electrons. Derivation of t…
