We investigate theoretically the equilibrium configurations of many magnetic skyrmions interacting with many superconducting vortices in a superconductor-chiral magnet bilayer. We show that miscible mixtures of vortices and skyrmions in…
We study bond percolation in $\mathbb{Z}^d$ with an unbounded family of enhancements that enable additional bonds to act as open. A natural question is whether percolation occurs in this model if and only if percolation also occurs in the…
Inside the metals, semiconductors, and magnets of our everyday experience, electrons are uniformly distributed throughout the material. By contrast, electrons often form clumpy patterns inside of strongly correlated electronic systems…
Percolation clusters are random fractals whose geometrical and transport properties can be characterized with the help of probability distribution functions. Using renormalized field theory, we determine the asymptotic form of various of…
A crystalline form of LiBC is known which has been predicted to be superconducting, with a Tc comparable to that of MgB_2. In both compounds, superconductivity is enhanced by the presence of two electronic bands, one of which is close to a…
We investigate bond percolation on the iterated barycentric subdivision of a triangle, the hexacarpet, and the non-p.c.f. Sierpinski gasket. With the use of the diamond fractal, we are able to bound the critical probability of percolation…
We develop a percolation model motivated by recent experimental studies of gels with active network remodeling by molecular motors. This remodeling was found to lead to a critical state reminiscent of random percolation (RP), but with a…

The effect of morphologic factors on magnetic flux dynamics and critical currents in percolative superconducting structures is considered. The superconductor contains the fractal clusters of a normal phase, which act as pinning centers. The…
In crystalline color superconductivity, quark pairs form at non-zero total momentum. This crystalline order potentially enlarges the domain of color superconductivity in cold dense quark matter. We present a perturbative calculation of the…

Polar metals and noncentrosymmetric superconductors are exceptionally rare, yet their broken inversion symmetry can give rise to emergent electronic phenomena including mixed singlet-triplet superconducting pairing. As only a few such…
The predicted interplay between Kondo physics and non-trivial topology in SmB$_{6}$ has stimulated many experimental reports, some of which are in apparent contradiction. The origin of the dispute may lie on the fragility of the Kondo…
Tunneling defects in disordered materials form spurious two-level systems which are a major source of decoherence for micro-fabricated quantum devices. For superconducting qubits, defects in tunnel barriers of submicrometer-sized Josephson…
The percolation transitions on hyperbolic lattices are investigated numerically using finite-size scaling methods. The existence of two distinct percolation thresholds is verified. At the lower threshold, an unbounded cluster appears and…
