Topological antiferromagnetic systems, which exhibit anisotropic band structures combined with complex relativistic spin structures in momentum space, have shown strong magnetoresistance effects driven by Dirac fermion characteristics.…
The mean free path of phonons in superlattices is estimated. It is shown to be strongly dependent on the superlattice period due to the Umklapp scattering in subbands. It first falls with increasing the superlattice period until it becomes…
Antiferromagnets are promising candidates as active components in spintronic applications. They share features with ferrimagnets in that opposing spin orientations exist in two or more sublattices. Spin transfer torque and spin pumping are…
Superfluids with a tendency towards periodic crystalline order have both a phonon and roton like spectrum of collective modes. The softening of the roton spectrum provides one route to a supersolid. We show that roton softening occurs in…
We evaluate the three bulk viscosity coefficients $\zeta_1, \zeta_2$ and $\zeta_3$ in the color-flavor locked (CFL) superfluid phase due to phonons and kaons, which are the lightest modes in that system. We first show that the computation…
Compact stars made of quark matter rather than confined hadronic matter, are expected to form a color superconductor. This superconductor ought to be threaded with rotational vortex lines within which the star's interior magnetic field is…

We argue that the shape of the dispersion along the nodal and antinodal directions in the cuprates can be understood as a consequence of the interaction of the electrons with collective spin excitations. In the normal state, the dispersion…
While phonon topology in crystalline solids has been extensively studied, its influence on thermal transport-especially in nanostructures-remains elusive. Here, by combining first-principles-based machine learning potentials with the phonon…

Recent experiments on CeCoIn5 -- a prototypical d-wave superconductor -- indicate that its normal state lies near an unconventional quantum critical point (QCP). One intriguing hypothesis is that quantum-critical fluctuations promote…
It is usually believed that the spin-fluctuation mechanism for high-temperature superconductivity results in d-wave pairing, and that it is destructive for the conventional phonon-mediated pairing. We show that in bilayer materials, due to…
Quantum spin liquid (QSL), a state characterized by exotic low energy fractionalized excitations and statistics is still elusive experimentally and may be gauged via indirect experimental signatures. Remnant of QSL phase may reflect in the…
I discuss three topics in physics of massive (two solar-mass and larger) neutron stars containing deconfined quark matter: (i) the equation of state of deconfined dense quark matter and its color superconducting phases, (ii) the thermal…
Low temperature measurements of the magnetic susceptibility of LSCO suggest that the superconducting transition is associated with the disappearance of a vortex liquid. In this note we wish to draw attention to the fact that spin-orbit-like…
