We investigate the emergence and transformation of pinch-point singularities in the excitation spectrum of electronic flat band systems on kagome and pyrochlore lattices with spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and Coulomb interactions. While pinch…
A pinch point singularity in the structure factor characterizes an important class of condensed matter that is a counterpoint to the paradigm of broken symmetry. This class includes water ice, charge ice and spin ice. Of these, dipolar spin…
Certain classical statistical systems with strong local constraints are known to exhibit Coulomb phases, where long-range correlation functions have power-law forms. Continuous transitions from these into ordered phases cannot be described…
We consider a two-dimensional electron system with Coulomb interaction between particles at a finite temperature T. We show that the dynamic Kohn anomaly in the response function at 2K_F leads to a linear-in-T correction to the spin…
We resolve the phase diagram of the $S=1$ pyrochlore spin ice, which exhibits trivial paramagnetic, U(1) Coulomb, and spin nematic phases. In the monopole-free limit, the system can be effectively mapped onto 3D $XY$ and Ising loop-gas…
We consider an alternative to the usual spin glass paradigm for disordered magnetism, consisting of the previously unstudied combination of frustrated magnetic interactions and pseudo-dipolar disorder in spin positions. We argue that this…
We introduce a distinctive feature of spin-polarized transport, the Spin Coulomb Drag: there is an intrinsic source of friction for spin currents due to the Coulomb interaction between spin ``up'' and spin ``down'' electrons. We calculate…
The study of the ground state of spinless fermions in 2d disordered clusters (Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 83}, 1826 (1999)) has suggested the existence of a new quantum phase for intermediate Coulomb energy to kinetic energy ratios $r_s$. Exact…
We consider a classical model of charges $\pm q$ on a pyrochlore lattice in the presence of long range Coulomb interactions. This model first appeared in the early literature on charge order in magnetite. In the limit where the interactions…
We study the breaking of spin symmetry for the nonlinear Hartree-Fock model describing an infinite translation-invariant interacting quantum gas (fluid phase). At zero temperature and for the Coulomb interaction in three space dimensions,…
In the ground state of Ho2Ti2O7 spin ice, the disorder of the magnetic moments follows the same rules as the proton disorder in water ice. Excitations take the form of magnetic monopoles that interact via a magnetic Coulomb interaction.…
If spin liquids have been famously defined by what they are not, i.e. ordered, the past years have seen the frontier between order and spin liquid starting to fade, with a growing number of materials whose low-temperature physics cannot be…
We study the diffusion annihilation process which occurs when spin ice is quenched from a high temperature paramagnetic phase deep into the spin ice regime, where the excitations -- magnetic monopoles -- are sparse. We find that due to the…
Fractionalised excitations that emerge from a many body system have revealed rich physics and concepts, from composite fermions in two-dimensional electron systems, revealed through the fractional quantum Hall effect, to spinons in…
Gauge theories are powerful tools in theoretical physics, allowing complex phenomena to be reduced to simple principles, and are used in both high-energy and condensed matter physics. In the latter context, gauge theories are becoming…
The phenomenon of low-temperature spin Coulomb drag in a two-dimensional electron gas is investigated. The spin transresistivity coefficient is essentially enhanced in the diffusive regime, as compared to conventional predictions. The…
