Metal–Insulator Transition in Three-Dimensional Semiconductors by Klaus Ziegler

“…We use a random gap model to describe a metal−insulator transition in three-dimensional semiconductors due to doping, and find a conventional phase transition, where the effective scattering rate is the order parameter. Spontaneous symmetry breaking results in metallic behavior, whereas the insulating regime is characterized by the absence of spontaneous symmetry breaking. …”

Advanced solid state physics / by Phillips, Philip (Philip W.)

“…In addition to the extensive discussion of magnetic impurity problems, bosonization, quantum phase transitions, and disordered systems from the first edition, the new edition includes such topics as topological insulators, high-temperature superconductivity and Mott insulators, renormalization group for Fermi liquids, spontaneous symmetry breaking, zero and finite-temperature Green functions, and the Kubo formalism"--…”

Symmetry broken vectorial Kerr frequency combs from Fabry-Pérot resonators by Lewis Hill, Eva-Maria Hirmer, Graeme Campbell, Toby Bi, Alekhya Ghosh, Pascal Del’Haye, Gian-Luca Oppo

“…Abstract Spontaneous symmetry breaking of a pair of vector temporal cavity solitons has been established as a paradigm to modulate optical frequency combs, and finds many applications in metrology, frequency standards, communications, and photonic devices. …”

The Complexity of Dynamics in Small Neural Circuits. by Diego Fasoli, Anna Cattani, Stefano Panzeri

“…The most important consequence of spontaneous symmetry-breaking is the ability of mesoscopic networks to regulate their degree of functional heterogeneity, which is thought to help reducing the detrimental effect of noise correlations on cortical information processing.…”

Breaking rotations without violating the KSS viscosity bound by Matteo Baggioli, Sera Cremonini, Laura Early, Li Li, Hao-Tian Sun

“…We study the interplay between explicit and spontaneous symmetry breaking and derive a simple horizon formula for η/s, which is valid also in the presence of explicit breaking of rotations and is in perfect agreement with the numerical data. …”

Nonlinear topological symmetry protection in a dissipative system by Stéphane Coen, Bruno Garbin, Gang Xu, Liam Quinn, Nathan Goldman, Gian-Luca Oppo, Miro Erkintalo, Stuart G. Murdoch, Julien Fatome

“…Abstract We investigate experimentally and theoretically a system ruled by an intricate interplay between topology, nonlinearity, and spontaneous symmetry breaking. The experiment is based on a two-mode coherently-driven optical resonator where photons interact through the Kerr nonlinearity. …”

Spontaneously interacting qubits from Gauss-Bonnet by Sean Prudhoe, Rishabh Kumar, Sarah Shandera

“…Abstract Building on previous constructions examining how a collection of small, locally interacting quantum systems might emerge via spontaneous symmetry breaking from a single-particle system of high dimension, we consider a larger family of geometric loss functionals and explicitly construct several classes of critical metrics which “know about qubits” (KAQ). …”

Discrete gauge symmetries and the weak gravity conjecture by Nathaniel Craig, Isabel Garcia Garcia, Seth Koren

“…In this setting, considering the effect of discrete hair on black holes naturally identifies the cutoff of the effective theory with the scale of spontaneous symmetry breaking, and provides a mechanism through which discrete hair can be lost without modifying the gravitational sector. …”

Self-Regulated Symmetry Breaking Model for Stem Cell Differentiation by Madelynn McElroy, Kaylie Green, Nikolaos K. Voulgarakis

“…By introducing a feedback mechanism to control intrinsic noise, the model can self-tune through different bifurcation points, facilitating spontaneous symmetry breaking. Standard stability analysis showed that the system can potentially differentiate into several cell types mathematically expressed as stable nodes and limit cycles. …”

Non-zero θ13 and δCP phase with A4 flavor symmetry and deviations to tri-bi-maximal mixing via Z2 × Z2 invariant perturbations in the neutrino sector by Gayatri Ghosh

“…In this work, a flavour theory of a neutrino mass model based on A4 symmetry is considered to explain the phenomenology of neutrino mixing. The spontaneous symmetry breaking of A4 symmetry in this model leads to tribimaximal mixing in the neutrino sector at a leading order. …”
