Hollow multishelled structures (HoMSs), an emergent solid-state material family featuring
multiple shells separated by internal cavities, are gaining intensive interest in applications …

The coupling between lattice vibrations and electrons is one of the central concepts of
condensed matter physics. The subject has been deeply studied for crystalline materials, but …

The earliest ideas of the polaron recognized that the coupling of an electron to ionic
vibrations would affect its apparent mass and could effectively immobilize the carrier (self …

In this Colloquium, I describe some current frontiers in the physics of semiconducting
amorphous materials and glasses, including a short, but self-contained discussion of …

The vibrational properties of model amorphous materials are studied by combining complete
analysis of the vibration modes, dynamical structure factor, and energy diffusivity with exact …

Exponential band edges have been observed in a variety of materials, both crystalline and
amorphous. In this Letter, we infer the structural origins of these tails in amorphous and …

We compute direct current thermoelectric transport coefficients in strongly coupled quantum
field theories without long lived quasiparticles, at finite temperature and charge density, and …

Angell's congruent bond lattice (CBL) model of topologically-disordered oxide systems is
used to analyse the connectivity of disordered systems accounting for the threshold degree …

The probability density function (PDF) for critical wave function amplitudes is studied in the
three-dimensional Anderson model. We present a formal expression between the PDF and …

In earlier work, we showed that exponential (Urbach) band-edge states were localized on
connected subnetworks of short bonds for the valence tail and long bonds for the conduction …
