Theoretical Assessment of F-wave Bottom Mesons and Their Properties
2022-11-24
We use heavy quark effective theory to study F-wave bottom mesons. Using theory and experimental data, we calculate their masses and analyze their decay widths to estimate the upper bound to the associated couplings.

Strange Metal Behavior Potentially Associated to Hidden Electronic Nematicity
2022-11-10
Iron-based superconductor, Ba1-xRbxFe2As2, exhibits “strange metal” behavior—linear dependence of resistivity on temperature. It seems that hidden electronic nematic fluctuations play a greater role than the well-known antiferromagnetic fluctuations.

Thermoelectric Response in Strongly Disordered Systems
2022-11-7
Based on the Kubo–Luttinger linear response theory, we discovered that the low-T Seebeck coefficient for Mott variable-range hopping in a d-dimensional system varies as S ∝ Td/(d+1), which is different from the conventional S ∝ T(d−1)/(d+1). In addition, the experimental data for S of CuCrTiS4 at low T are in excellent agreement with our prediction S ∝ T3/4 (d = 3).
