Specific Heat of Quantum Elastic Systems Pinned by Disorder
Gregory Schehr, Thierry Giamarchi, Pierre Le Doussal
We present the detailed study of the thermodynamics of vibrational modes in disordered elastic systems such as the Bragg glass phase of lattices pinned by quenched impurities. Our…
Adiabatic-antiadiabatic crossover in a spin-Peierls chain
R. Citro, E. Orignac, T. Giamarchi
We consider an XXZ spin-1/2 chain coupled to optical phonons with non-zero frequency . In the adiabatic limit (small ), the chain is expected to spontaneously dimerize an…
Zero field Wigner crystal
R. Chitra, T. Giamarchi
A candidate for the insulating phase of the 2D electron gas, seen in high mobility 2D MOSFETS and heterojunctions, is a Wigner crystal pinned by the incipient disorder. With this i…
Keldysh study of point-contact tunneling between superconductors
C. J. Bolech, T. Giamarchi
We revisit the problem of point-contact tunnel junctions involving one-dimensional superconductors and present a simple scheme for computing the full current-voltage characteristic…
Creep motion of an elastic string in a random potential
Alejandro B. Kolton, Alberto Rosso, Thierry Giamarchi
We study the creep motion of an elastic string in a two dimensional pinning landscape by Langevin dynamics simulations. We find that the Velocity-Force characteristics are well des…
Electronic Glasses
T. Giamarchi
A short introduction to the physics and the method to treat quantum crystals of electrons (Wigner crystal) and the related disordered elastic systems.
