Color superconductivity in dense quark matter

MG Alford, A Schmitt, K Rajagopal, T Schäfer - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2008 - APS
Matter at high density and low temperature is expected to be a color superconductor, which
is a degenerate Fermi gas of quarks with a condensate of Cooper pairs near the Fermi …

Theoretical progress in many-body physics with ultracold dipolar gases

MA Baranov - Physics Reports, 2008 - Elsevier
Recent experimental progress in trapping and cooling of molecular gases boosts interest in
the interdisciplinary field of quantum gases with dominant dipole–dipole interactions. An …

Observation of Unusual Mass Transport in Solid hcp

MW Ray, RB Hallock - Physical review letters, 2008 - APS
Solid He 4 has been created off the melting curve by growth at a nearly constant mass via
the “blocked capillary” technique and growth from the He 4 superfluid at constant …

Supersolidity and disorder

S Balibar, F Caupin - Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
A solid is called'supersolid'if it exhibits superfluid properties. Supersolidity is a paradoxical
phenomenon whose understanding has become a major challenge since 2004, when Kim …

Phase diagram of adsorbed on graphite

P Corboz, M Boninsegni, L Pollet, M Troyer - Physical Review B—Condensed …, 2008 - APS
We present results of a theoretical study of H 4 e films adsorbed on graphite based on the
continuous space worm algorithm. In the first layer, we find a domain-wall phase and a …

Local Stress and Superfluid Properties of Solid

L Pollet, M Boninsegni, AB Kuklov, NV Prokof'ev… - Physical review …, 2008 - APS
We provide a semiquantitative tool, derived from first-principles simulations, for answering
the question of whether certain types of defects in solid He 4 support mass superflow …

Atomic and molecular defects in solid 4He

P Moroshkin, A Hofer, A Weis - Physics reports, 2008 - Elsevier
The studies of defects formed by impurity particles (atoms, molecules, exciplexes, clusters,
free electrons, and positive ions) embedded in liquid and solid 4He are reviewed. The …

Effect of Impurities on the Nonclassical Response to Oscillation of Solid

E Kim, JS Xia, JT West, X Lin, AC Clark, MHW Chan - Physical review letters, 2008 - APS
We have investigated the influence of impurities on the possible supersolid transition in He 4
by systematically enriching isotopically pure samples with He 3. The addition of He 3 …

Nonclassical rotational inertia fraction in a one-dimensional model of a supersolid

N Sepúlveda, C Josserand, S Rica - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter …, 2008 - APS
We study the rotational inertia of a model of supersolid in the frame of the mean field Gross-
Pitaevskii theory in one space dimension. We discuss the ground state of the model and the …

Vacancy supersolid of hard-core bosons on the square lattice

L Dang, M Boninsegni, L Pollet - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and …, 2008 - APS
The ground state of hard-core bosons on the square lattice with nearest and next-nearest-
neighbor repulsion is studied by quantum Monte Carlo simulations. A supersolid phase with …
