The $\EtMeP$ and $\EtMeSb$ nearly triangular organic salts are distinguished from most other Pd[(dmit)$_2$] based salts, as they display valence bond and no long range order, respectively. Under pressure, a superconducting phase is revealed…
We use an effective Hamiltonian for two-dimensional Hubbard model including an antiferromagnetic spin-spin coupling term to study recently proposed gossamer superconductivity. We formulate a renormalized mean field theory to approximately…
Superconductivity with $T_c \approx 15K$ was recently found in doped NdNiO$_2$. The Ni$^{1+}$O$_2$ layers are expected to be Mott insulators so hole doping should produce Ni$^{2+}$ with $S=1$, incompatible with robust superconductivity. We…
We study the exchange physics in high spin Mott insulating systems with $S=3/2$ which is realizable in ultracold atomic systems. The high symmetry of SO(5) or SU(4) therein renders stronger quantum fluctuations than the usual spin-1/2…
Takada et al. have reported superconductivity in layered $Na__x CoO_2.yH_2O$ ($T_c \approx5 K$) and more recently Wen et al. in $A_xCoO_{2+\delta}$ ($A = Na,K$)(\tc$\approx~31 K$). We model a reference neutral \cob layer as an orbitally…
