Spin-orbit coupling is a single-particle phenomenon known to generate topological order, and electron-electron interactions cause ordered many-body phases to exist. The rich interplay of these two mechanisms is present in a broad range of…
The orientation of the order parameter of quantum magnets can be used to store information in a dense and efficient way. Switching this order parameter corresponds to writing data. To understand how this can be done, we study a precessional…
Neutron diffraction measurements have been performed on the cubic compound PrPb3 in a [001] magnetic field to examine the quadrupolar ordering. Antiferromagnetic components with q=(1/2+-d 1/2 0), (1/2 1/2+-d 0) (d~1/8) are observed below…

In Wigner-crystal states of two-dimensional electrons, the spin ordering remains poorly understood. The small energy differences between candidate spin orders make theoretical studies less reliable, and probing magnetic order at a nonzero…
We discuss the properties of possible ferromagnetic orders on the Lieb lattice. We show that the presence of a quadratic-flat band crossing point (QFBCP) at half filling will dramatically affect the magnetic ordering. In the presence of a…
High-transition temperature (high-$T_c$) superconductivity in the iron pnictides/chalcogenides emerges from the suppression of the static antiferromagnetic order in their parent compounds, similar to copper oxides superconductors. This…

This thesis deals with the Hubbard model as prototypical model to describe the physics of electrons in the two-dimensional copper-oxide planes of high-$T_c$ cuprates. To get approximate solutions, we employ functional renormalization group…
Understanding the pseudo-gap phase from which a superconducting state emerges is a central problem in the physics of cuprates. The phase exists below a temperature T* for less than optimal doping of holes, and no clear jump in the specific…
Motivated by recent experiments on low-dimensional quantum magnets in applied magnetic fields, we present a theoretical analysis of their properties based on the nonlinear sigma model. The spin stiffness and a 1/N expansion are used to map…
To understand the orbital ordering of $LaMnO_3$ in the ground state, we study it in the A-type spin antiferromagnetic state. We calculate the two-dimensional response functions associated with the Jahn-Teller $Q_2$ and $Q_3$ distortions and…
