Mesoscopic scattering of spin s particles
C. A. Mueller, C. Miniatura, E. Akkermans +1
Quantum effects in weakly disordered systems are governed by the properties of the elementary interaction between propagating particles and impurities. Long range mesoscopic effect…
Bogomol'nyi bound and screw dislocations in a mesoscopic smectic-A
Eric Akkermans, Sankalpa Ghosh, Amos Schtalheim
The de Gennes free energy functional of an infinite smectic-A liquid crystal at the dual point is shown to be topological and to depend only on the number of screw dislocations and…
Non-exponential relaxations in disordered conductors
Gilles Montambaux, Eric Akkermans
We show that, in low dimensional conductors, the quasiparticle decay and the relaxation of the phase are not exponential processes. In quasi-one dimension, they scale as $e^{- (t/τ…
Composite Bosons description of rapidly rotating Bose-Einstein Condensates
Eric Akkermans, Sankalpa Ghosh
Recently a novel phase transition has been observed \cite{jalin} in a rotating Bose-Einstein condensate when the rotating frequency reaches the transverse trap frequency $ω_{\b…
Phase coherence times in the multiple scattering of photons by cold atoms
E. Akkermans, Ch. Miniatura, C. A. Müller
We present an analysis of the dephasing present in the multiple scattering of photons by atoms with a quantum internal structure. The corresponding phase coherence times are…
Coherent multiple scattering in disordered media
Eric Akkermans, G. Montambaux
These notes contain a rapid overview of the methods and results obtained in the field of propagation of waves in disordered media. The case of Schrödinger and Helmholtz equations a…
