We consider a two-layer Heisenberg antiferromagnet which can be either in the N\'{e}el-ordered or in the disordered phase at $T=0$, depending on the ratio of the intra- and interlayer exchange constants. We reduce the problem to an…
We study the vortex lattice dynamics in presence of single impurity as well as random impurities or disorder. We show that in presence of a single impurity the vortex lattice gets distorted and the distortion depends on the position of the…

In a p-wave Fermi superfluid suffering from the nonmagnetic impurity scatterings, a coefficient of a gradient term becomes divergent upon cooling. Consequences of this divergent rigidity in the stable vortices in the B phase in globally…
We study the topological defects in the classical Heisenberg antiferromagnet in two dimensions on a triangular lattice (HAFT). While the topological analysis of the order parameter space indicates that the defects are of $Z_2$ type,…
The ground state of the $S=1/2$ kagome Heisenberg antiferromagnet is now recognized as a spin liquid, but its precise nature remains unsettled, even if more and more clues point towards a gapless spin liquid. We use high temperature series…
It is well established that a correlated quantum impurity embedded in a metallic host can form the many-body Kondo state with itinerant electrons due to the effective antiferromagnetic coupling. Such effect is manifested spectroscopically…
Altermagnets are a class of materials with compensated magnetic moments, in which spin sublattices are related by specific symmetries other than inversion or translation. This allows time-reversal symmetry to be broken without a net…
Coarsening dynamics, the canonical theory of phase ordering following a quench across a symmetry breaking phase transition, is thought to be driven by the annihilation of topological defects. Here we show that this understanding is…
