The theory for disordered itinerant ferromagnets developed in a previous paper is used to construct a simple effective field theory that is capable of describing the quantum phase transition from a ferromagnetic metal to a ferromagnetic…
Altermagnetism represents a type of collinear magnetism, that is in some aspects distinct from ferromagnetism and from conventional antiferromagnetism. In contrast to the latter, sublattices of opposite spin are related by spatial rotations…
We present antiferromagnetism as a mechanism capable of modifying substantially the phase diagram and the critical behaviour of statistical mechanical models. This is particularly relevant in four dimensions, due to the connection between…
We examine the orbital and magnetic order of the two orbital Hubbard model within dynamical mean field theory. The model describes the low energy physics of a partially filled $e_g$-band as can be found in some transition metal compounds.…
We model conducting pentagon chains with a multi orbital Hubbard model and prove that well below half filling exact ferromagnetic ground states appear. The rigorous method we use is based on the transformation of original hamiltonian into…
