Nuclear spins are known to experience spontaneous long-range correlations only below 2.5 mili-Kelvin in superfluid $^3$He. Here we present the first evidence of nuclear spin coupling in molecular hydrogen (H$_2$) at 74-92 Kelvin using…

It was pointed out [Phys. Rev. C \textbf{91}, 021302(R)] that the isotope shifts of the Pb nuclei, the kink at $N=126$ in particular, can be well described by the Hartree-Fock-Bogolyubov calculations if a density-dependent LS interaction…

Pairing correlations play a very important role in atomic nuclei. Although several effective pairing interactions have been used in mean field calculations for nucleons, little is known about effective pairing interactions for hyperons.…

We explore a spin-fermion model with fermion-spin-quadrupolar interaction. In a nematic phase, this interaction reduces to a four-fermion interaction that is a basis of superconductivity. When the coupling constant is positive the…
