Second sound is known as the thermal transport regime where heat is carried by temperature waves. Its experimental observation was previously restricted to a small number of materials, usually in rather narrow temperature windows. We show that it is possible to overcome these limitations by driving the system with a rapidly varying temperature field. This effect is demonstrated in bulk Ge between 7 kelvin and room temperature, studying the phase lag of the thermal response under a harmonic high frequency external thermal excitation, addressing the relaxation time and the propagation velocity of the heat waves. These results provide a new route to investigate the potential of wave-like heat transport in almost any material, opening opportunities to control heat through its oscillatory nature.

The possibility of propagation of second sound waves in diamond single crystals depending on their dimensions, concentrations of isotopes and temperature is studied. At this correct account of phonon scattering on boundaries is important. The calculation of phonon collision frequencies is carried out in the reduced isotropic crystal model using second and third modules of elasticity and in Callaway model on the basis of experimental data on diamond thermal conductivity. Both models give us the consistent values of parameters under which the propagation of SSW is possible. It is discovered that concentrations of isotopes 13C < 10-5, temperatures T < 90K. Such a good agreement provides the reliability of received results and shows the efficiency of reduced isotropic crystal model in the description of diamond properties in low temperature range.
We report an investigation on the properties of 0.33 ML of Sn on Ge(111) at temperatures down to 5 K. Low-energy electron diffraction and scanning tunneling microscopy show that the (3x3) phase formed at 200 K, reverts to a new (root-3xroot-3)R30 phase below 30 K. The vertical distortion characteristic of the (3x3) phase is lost across the phase transition. Angle-resolved photoemission experiments show that concomitantly with the structural phase transition, a metal-insulator phase transition takes place. In agreement with theoretical predictions, the (root-3xroot-3)R30 ground state is interpreted as the experimental realization of a Mott insulator for a narrow half-filled band in a two-dimensional triangular lattice.
Here we present an experimental observation of the self-organization effect of the polystyrene particles formed by acoustically-induced interaction forces. Two types of stable configurations are observed experimentally: one is mechanically equilibrium and featured by nonzero inter-particle separations, and the other corresponds to a close-packed assembly, which is formed by strong attractions among the aggregated particles. For the former case involving two or three particles, the most probable inter-particle separations (counted for numerous independent initial arrangements) agree well with the theoretical predictions. For the latter case, the number of the final stable configurations grows with the particle number, and the occurrence probability of each configuration is interpreted by a simple geometric model.
Superfluidity in its various forms has fascinated scientists since the observation of frictionless flow in liquid helium II. In three spatial dimensions (3D), it is conceptually associated with the emergence of long-range order (LRO) at a critical temperature $T_{text{c}}$. One of its hallmarks, predicted by the highly successful two-fluid model and observed in both liquid helium and ultracold atomic gases, is the existence of two kinds of sound excitations, the first and second sound. In 2D systems, thermal fluctuations preclude LRO, but superfluidity nevertheless emerges at a nonzero $T_{text{c}}$ via the infinite-order Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition, which is associated with a universal jump in the superfluid density $n_{text{s}}$ without any discontinuities in the fluids thermodynamic properties. BKT superfluids are also predicted to support two sounds, but the observation of this has remained elusive. Here we observe first and second sound in a homogeneous 2D atomic Bose gas, and from the two temperature-dependent sound speeds extract its superfluid density. Our results agree with BKT theory, including the prediction for the universal superfluid-density jump.
In a transient magnetic field, heavy quarkonium bound states evolve non adiabatically. In presence of a strong magnetic field, $J/Psi$ and $Upsilon(1S)$ become more tightly bound than we expected earlier for a pure thermal medium. We have shown that in a time varying magnetic field, there is a possibility of moderate suppression of $J/Psi$ through the non adiabatic transition to continuum where as the $Upsilon(1S)$ is so tightly bound that can not be dissociated through this process. We have calculated the dissociation probabilities up to the first order in the time dependent perturbation theory for different values of initial magnetic field intensity.
