A model of an anti-phase modulated d-wave superconductor has been proposed to describe the decoupling between Cu-O planes in 1/8 doped La$_{2-x}$Ba$_{x}$CuO$_{4}$. Unlike a uniform d-wave superconductor, this model exhibits an extended…
When a metal is subjected to strong magnetic field B nearly all measurable quantities exhibit oscillations periodic in 1/B. Such quantum oscillations represent a canonical probe of the defining aspect of a metal, its Fermi surface (FS). In…
We study signatures of magnetic quantum oscillations in three-dimensional nodal line semimetals at zero temperature. The extended nature of the degenerate bands can result in a Fermi surface geometry with topological genus one, as well as a…
When magnetic field is applied to metals and semimetals quantum oscillations appear as individual Landau levels cross the Fermi level. Quantum oscillations generally do not occur in superconductors (SC) because magnetic field is either…

We address quantum oscillation experiments in high Tc superconductors and the evidence from these experiments for a pseudogap versus a Fermi liquid phase at high magnetic fields. As a concrete alternative to a Fermi liquid phase, the…
The observations of quantum oscillations in overdoped cuprate superconductors were in agreement with a charge density contained in a cylindrical Fermi surface but the frequencies of lightly doped compounds were much smaller than expected.…

We investigate the particle and kinetic-energy densities for a system of $N$ fermions bound in a local (mean-field) potential $V(\bfr)$. We generalize a recently developed semiclassical theory [J. Roccia and M. Brack, Phys. Rev.\ Lett. {\bf…
Loop current order has been reported in the pseudogap regime of a few cuprate systems in polarized neutron scattering experiments. Here we study several observable consequences of such order in the d-wave superconducting state at low T. The…

We study the superconducting order parameter near a surface with the Bogoliubov-de Gennes formalism. For definiteness we use the attractive Hubbard model. Near a surface, the order parameter and the density distribution exhibit…
We show that electronic materials with disallowed rotational symmetries that enforce quasiperiodic order can exhibit quantum oscillations and that these are generically associated with exotic "spiral Fermi surfaces." These Fermi surfaces…
The recently developed quantum surface of section method is applied to a search for extremely high-lying energy levels in a simple but generic Hamiltonian system between integrability and chaos, namely the semiseparable 2-dim oscillator.…
Metals typically have multiple Fermi surface sheets, and when they enter the superconducting state, some electrons on these sheets may remain uncondensed, or their superconducting pairs can be rapidly destroyed by a magnetic field.…
Shubnikov-de Haas and de Haas-van Alphen effects have been measured in the underdoped high temperature superconductor YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6.51}$. Data are in agreement with the standard Lifshitz-Kosevitch theory, which confirms the presence of…
At high magnetic field, the semiclassical approximation which underlies the Ginzburg-Landau theory of the mixed state of type II superconductors breaks down. In a quasi-1D superconductor with an {\it open Fermi surface}, a high magnetic…
Unambiguous and complete determination of the Fermi surface is a primary step in understanding the electronic properties of topical metals and semi-metals, but only in a relatively few cases has this goal been realized. In this work, we…
