Chiral Waves on the Fermi-Dirac Sea: Quantum Superfluidity and the Axial Anomaly
Emil Mottola, Andrey V. Sadofyev
We show that as a result of the axial anomaly, massless fermions at zero temperature define a relativistic quantum superfluid. The anomaly pole implies the existence of a gapless C…

Dislocation drag from phonon wind in an isotropic crystal at large velocities
Daniel N. Blaschke, Emil Mottola, Dean L. Preston
The anharmonic interaction and scattering of phonons by a moving dislocation, the photon wind, imparts a drag force on the dislocation. In early studies the drag coe…
