The standard model as an effective field theory
Publication date: Available online 22 November 2018Source: Physics ReportsAuthor(s): Ilaria Brivio, Michael TrottAbstractProjecting measurements of the interactions of the known Standard Model (SM) states into an effective field theory (EFT) framework is an important goal of the LHC physics program. The interpretation of measurements of the properties of the Higgs-like boson in an EFT allows one to consistently study the properties of this state, while the SM is allowed to eventually break down at higher energies. In this review, basic concepts relevant to the construction of such EFTs are reviewed pedagogically. Electrowe...

Swimming with magnets: From biological organisms to synthetic devices
Publication date: Available online 19 November 2018Source: Physics ReportsAuthor(s): Stefan Klumpp, Christopher T. Lefèvre, Mathieu Bennet, Damien FaivreAbstractThe movement of microorganisms is not only an essential aspect of life, it also serves as a fruitful model for the development of synthetic microswimmers or microrobots with potential applications in environmental and medical fields. Here, we review the field of the magnetic microswimmers, which as indicated by the adjective, represents a dedicated branch of the general microswimmers where magnetism plays a role either for the orientation or for the locomotion of ...

From charge- and spin-ordering to superconductivity in the organic charge-transfer solids
We present numerical evidence for the absence of SC within the half-filled band correlated-electron Hamiltonians for any degree of frustration. We then develop a valence-bond theory of SC within which the superconducting state is reached by the destabilization of the PEC by additional pressure-induced lattice frustration that makes the spin–singlets mobile. We present limited but accurate numerical evidence for the existence of such a charge order-SC duality. Our proposed mechanism for SC is the same for CTS in which the proximate semiconducting state is antiferromagnetic instead of charge-ordered, with the only differen...
