    Momentum-dependent power law measured in an interacting quantum wire beyond the Luttinger limit

    Power laws in physics have until now always been associated with a scale invariance originating from the absence of a length scale. Recently, an emergent invariance even in the presence of a length scale has b...

    Nonlinear spectra of spinons and holons in short GaAs quantum wires

    One-dimensional electronic fluids are peculiar conducting systems, where the fundamental role of interactions leads to exotic, emergent phenomena, such as spin-charge (spinon-holon) separation. The distinct lo...
