About This Topic
The methods of quantum mechanics have revolutionized practically all domains of science and the actual level of the correct understanding of the properties in solid-state materials is principally due to the quantum mechanics. The present issue covers all aspects related to the application of the methods of quantum mechanics in solid-state materials. Both experimental and theoretical works are welcome for the publication in this special issue. The special attention will be paid to the new methods and idea related to the quantum mechanical description of materials. This includes the discoveries of new exotic phases of matter with the extraordinary quantum mechanical behavior of particles inside. On top of that, we seek for the papers which represent the important contributions related to light-matter interactions, wave propagations in solids, inter-particle correlations, quantum vortices and fields and new emergent quantum dynamics in solids. Original research reports, review articles, communications, and perspectives etc. are welcome in all areas pertinent to this topic.
Keywords
quantum mechanics; solid state applications; emergent quantum dynamics in solids.

Development of the Stochastic Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics by E. Nelson. Derivation of the Schrödinger-Euler-Poisson EquationsAbstract The article aims to develop the stochastic interpretation of quantum mechanics by E. Nelson based on balancing the intra-systemic contradiction (i.e., antisymmetry) between “order” and “chaos”. For the set task, it is proposed to combine two mutually opposite system-forming principles: “the principle of least action [...] |
Spin Entanglement – A Unifying Principle for Superconductors and Molecular Bondingby
Paul O'Hara
Abstract The spin-statistics theorem is generalized to include quantum entanglement. Specifically, within the context of spin entanglement, we prove that isotropically spin-correlated (ISC) states must occur in pairs. This pairing process can be composed of parallel or anti-parallel states. Consequently, the article proposes using ISC state [...] |
Do Magnetic Monopoles Exist?Abstract In this paper, we continue our previous work by discussing the consequences of curvature in spacetime caused by the presence of mass and the implications of this. We address the question raised by Dirac regarding the impact of a magnetic monopole on the quantum world. We discuss quantization concerning the solid angles observed [...] |
Elementary Collective Effects in Systems Containing Small Fermion-NumbersAbstract One deals with an fermions collective where we encounter elementary emerging-collective phenomena at very low temperatures. This simplicity allows for expanding our insight on collective fermion behavior. We focus on several quantifiers, including standard ones related to thermal [...] |
Advances in Quantum Properties of Graphene and Derivatives Applied to Functional Nanomaterials and MetamaterialsAbstract In the present work we describe the most important quantum properties of graphene and derivatives recently published. We discuss how these properties were incorporated into varied hybrid materials such as substrates for specific tuning of matter to track varied quantum signals. Their potential applications were analyzed from nanomaterial and [...] |
About Non-relativistic Quantum Mechanics and ElectromagnetismAbstract We describe here the coherent formulation of electromagnetism in the non-relativistic quantum-mechanical many-body theory of interacting charged particles. We use the mathematical frame of the field theory and its quantization in the spirit of the quantum electrodynamics (QED). This is necessary because a manifold of misinterpretat [...] |

Abstract Spectrophotometry has been widely used to retrieve the dielectric function of a bulk iridium sample using an extended version of the Drude–Lorentz model. The parameters of the model are optimized using a spectral-projected-gradient-method-assisted acceptance-probability-controlled simulated annealing approach. Furthermore, optimized values [...] |
Efficient Debye Function Interpolation Formulae: Sample Applications to DiamondAbstract The well-known classical heat capacity model developed by Debye proposed an approximate description of the temperature-dependence of heat capacities of solids in terms of a characteristic integral, the T-dependent values of which are parameterized by the Deb [...] |
Phase Equilibrium in ZrO2-CeO2-Eu2O3 System at a Temperature of 1500 °CAbstract The phase equilibria and structural transformations in the ternary ZrO2-CeO2-Eu2O3 system at 1500 °C were studied by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy in [...] |
Plane Waves Scattered by a Spherical Inclusion in a Half Space of Poroelastic Materialby
Doo-Sung Lee
Abstract This paper concerns a poroelastic half-space in which plane compressional waves are scattered by a spherical inclusion. Addition theorems for the spherical wave functions are utilized to meet the boundary conditions on the plane, and the satisfaction of the given conditions on the boundary of the sphere leads to three infinite [...] |
Classical and Quantum Models of Diffusionby
Angelo Morro
Abstract The purpose of the paper is twofold. First, to review the classical diffusion models
and show the approximations at the origin of the parabolic character of the classical equations.
Secondly, to show a connection between quantum and classical models of diffusion. Since diffusion
is inherently related to the motion of constituents then consiste [...] |

Subsequently and with a fellowship of the Deutsche Forschungsgmeinschaft, he worked at the Bronx VA Hospital/Mount Sinai Hospital in New York during 1972–1975 together with Professor Charles S. Lieber and successfully isolated MEOS and expanded its characterization. Back in Germany, he was at the Heinrich-Heine University in Düsseldorf with a focus on alcoholic liver disease, biochemical drug studies, and clinical intoxications by halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbons, where he became a Professor of Medicine. In 1987, he was offered a chief position and appointed as Director of the Medical Department II, City Hospital Hanau, Teaching Hospital of the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Frankfurt/Main. His clinical and research interests are on liver injury by drugs and herbs including causality assessment by RUCAM in close association with Dr. Gaby Danan in Paris. A perfect cooperation exists also with Professor Tran Dang Xuan of the University of Hiroshima, Japan. Finally, he is the author of more than 275 publications including books and book chapters, and he is editor in chief of scientific journals and member of editorial boards.
