We investigate the nonlocal optical conductivity of Fermi surface nesting materials which support charge density waves or spin density waves. The nonlocal optical conductivity contains information of correlations in electron fluids which…

Among numerous hypotheses, recently proposed to explain superconductivity in iron-based superconductors [1-9], many consider Fermi surface (FS) nesting [2, 4, 8, 10] and dimensionality [4, 9] as important contributors. Precise determination…

We examine the Fermi-surface effect called the nesting effect for the FFLO state in strongly Pauli-limited Q2D superconductors, focusing on the effect of 3D factors, such as interlayer electron transfer, interlayer pairing, and off-plane…

We study Josephson junctions between a multi-band iron-pnictide Ba1-xNaxFe2As2 and conventional s-wave superconductors Nb and Cu/Nb bilayer. We observe that junctions with a Cu interlayer exhibit much larger IcRn, despite a weaker…

Non-symmorphic materials have recently been predicted to exhibit many different exotic features in their electronic structures. These originate from forced band degeneracies caused by the non-symmorphic symmetry, which not only creates the…
