We develop a theory of transverse thermoelectric (Peltier) conductivity alpha(xy), in a strong magnetic field--this particular conductivity is often the most important contribution to the Nernst thermopower. We demonstrate that alpha(xy) of a free electron gas can be expressed purely and exactly as the entropy per carrier irrespective of temperature (which agrees with the seminal Hall bar result of Girvin and Jonson). In two dimensions we prove the universality of this result in the presence of disorder which allows explicit demonstration of a number of features of interest to experiments on graphene and other two-dimensional materials. We also exploit this relationship in the low-field regime and analyze the rich singularity structure in alpha(xy)(B,T) in three dimensions; we discuss its possible experimental implications.

Exploration of high-temperature bosonic condensation is of significant importance for the fundamental many-body physics and applications in nanodevices, which, however, remains a huge challenge. Here, in combination of many-body perturbation theory and first-principles calculations, a new-type spatially indirect exciton can be optically generated in two-dimensional (2D) BiSTe because of its unique structure feature. In particular, the spin-singlet spatially indirect excitons in BiSTe monolayer are dipole/parity allowed and reveal befitting characteristics for excitonic condensation, such as small effective mass and satisfied dilute limitation.

Odd viscosity couples stress to strain rate in a dissipationless way. It has been studied in plasmas under magnetic fields, superfluid [Formula: see text], quantum-Hall fluids, and recently in the context of chiral active matter. In most of these studies, odd terms in the viscosity obey Onsager reciprocal relations.

We report the existence of dissipationless currents in bilayer superconductors above the critical temperature T_{c}, assuming that the superconducting phase transition is dominated by phase fluctuations. Using a semiclassical U(1) lattice gauge theory, we show that thermal fluctuations cause a transition from the superconducting state at low temperature to a resistive state above T_{c}, accompanied by the proliferation of unbound vortices. Remarkably, while the proliferation of vortex excitations causes dissipation of homogeneous in-plane currents, we find that counterflow currents, flowing in the opposite direction within a bilayer, remain dissipationless.

One-dimensional conductors are described by Luttinger liquid theory, which predicts a power-law suppression of the single-electron tunneling density of states at low voltages. The scaling exponent is predicted to be quantized when tunneling into a single isolated chiral edge state of the fractional quantum Hall effect. We report conductance measurements across a point contact linking integer and fractional quantum Hall edge states (at fillings 1 and [Formula: see text], respectively).

However, the role of host dissipation on the particulate extinction remains a competition between the enhancing and reducing effects on the localized surface plasmonic resonance (LSPR). Here, using a generalized Mie theory, we elaborate on the specific influence mechanisms of host dissipation on the extinction efficiency factors of a plasmonic nanosphere.
