Structural lubricity in soft and hard matter systems

A Vanossi, C Bechinger, M Urbakh - Nature Communications, 2020 - nature.com
Over the recent decades there has been tremendous progress in understanding and
controlling friction between surfaces in relative motion. However the complex nature of the …

Quantum electronics on quantum liquids and solids

W Guo, D Konstantinov, D Jin - Progress in Quantum Electronics, 2024 - Elsevier
Nonpolar atoms or molecules with low particle mass and weak inter-particle interactions can
form quantum liquids and solids (QLS) at low temperatures. Excess electrons naturally bind …

Moving crystal phases of a quantum Wigner solid in an ultra-high-quality 2D electron system

PT Madathil, KAV Rosales, YJ Chung, KW West… - Physical review …, 2023 - APS
In low-disorder, two-dimensional electron systems (2DESs), the fractional quantum Hall
states at very small Landau level fillings (ν) terminate in a Wigner solid (WS) phase, where …

Image-charge detection of the Rydberg transition of electrons on superfluid helium confined in a microchannel structure

S Zou, D Konstantinov - New Journal of Physics, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
The image-charge detection provides a new direct method for the detection of the Rydberg
transition of electrons trapped on the surface of liquid helium. The interest in this method is …

Coulomb interaction-driven entanglement of electrons on helium

NR Beysengulov, ØS Schøyen, SD Bilek, JB Flaten… - PRX Quantum, 2024 - APS
The generation and evolution of entanglement in many-body systems is an active area of
research that spans multiple fields, from quantum information science to the simulation of …

Collective dynamics and defect generation for Wigner crystal ratchets

C Reichhardt, CJO Reichhardt - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
We consider a two-dimensional Wigner crystal coupled to a quasi-one-dimensional
asymmetric potential under ac or dc driving. As a function of electron density, substrate …

Nonlinear dynamics, avalanches, and noise for driven Wigner crystals

C Reichhardt, CJO Reichhardt - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
We consider the driven dynamics of Wigner crystals interacting with random disorder. Using
numerical simulations, we find a rich variety of transport phenomena as a function of charge …

Resonantly induced friction and frequency combs in driven nanomechanical systems

MI Dykman, G Rastelli, ML Roukes, EM Weig - Physical review letters, 2019 - APS
We propose a new mechanism of friction in resonantly driven vibrational systems. The form
of the friction force follows from the time-and spatial-symmetry arguments. We consider a …

Piezoacoustics for precision control of electrons floating on helium

H Byeon, K Nasyedkin, JR Lane… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com
Piezoelectric surface acoustic waves (SAWs) are powerful for investigating and controlling
elementary and collective excitations in condensed matter. In semiconductor two …
