    Re-entrant localization of single particle transport in disordered Andreev wires

    Full text link
    We study effects of disorder on the low energy single particle transport in a normal wire surrounded by a superconductor. We show that the heat conductance includes the Andreev diffusion decreasing with increase in the mean free path â„“\ell and the diffusive drift produced by a small particle-hole asymmetry, which increases with increasing â„“\ell. The conductance thus has a minimum as a function of â„“\ell which leads to a peculiar re-entrant localization as a function of the mean free path.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure

    Hydrodynamic description of transport in strongly correlated electron systems

    Full text link
    We develop a hydrodynamic description of the resistivity and magnetoresistance of an electron liquid in a smooth disorder potential. This approach is valid when the electron-electron scattering length is sufficiently short. In a broad range of temperatures, the dissipation is dominated by heat fluxes in the electron fluid, and the resistivity is inversely proportional to the thermal conductivity, κ\kappa. This is in striking contrast with the Stokes flow, in which the resistance is independent of κ\kappa and proportional to the fluid viscosity. We also identify a new hydrodynamic mechanism of spin magnetoresistance

    Estimation of the particle-antiparticle correlation effect for pion production in heavy ion collisions

    Full text link
    Estimation of the back-to-back pi-pi correlations arising due to evolution of the pionic field in the course of pion production process is given for central heavy nucleus collisions at moderate energies.Comment: 6 LaTeX pages + 5 ps figure

    Projected Three-Pion Correlation Functions

    Full text link
    We propose a new procedure for constructing projected three-pion correlation functions which reduces undesirable artificial momentum dependences resulting from the commonly used procedure and facilitates comparison of three-pion correlation data with theoretical models.Comment: 6 pages revtex, incl. 1 figure.
