We examine the relevance of magneto-elastic coupling to describe the complex magnetic and structural behaviour of the different classes of the iron superconductors. We model the system as a two-dimensional metal whose magnetic excitations…
The effects of a long range electronic potential on a one dimensional chain of spinless fermions are investigated by numerical techniques (Exact Diagonalisation of rings with up to 30 sites complemented by finite size analysis) and analytic…

Topological insulators in the presence of strong Coulomb interaction constitute novel phases of matter. Transitions between these phases can be driven by single-particle or many-body effects. On the basis of {\it ab-initio} calculations, we…
A fundamental question of physics is what ultimately happens to matter as it is heated or compressed. In the realm of very high temperature and density the fundamental degrees of freedom of the strong interaction, quarks and gluons, come…
Polaritons are compositional light-matter quasiparticles that arise as a result of strong coupling between a vacuum field of a resonant optical cavity and electronic excitations in quantum emitters. Reaching such a regime is often hard, as…
In heavy-fermion compounds, the dual character of $f$ electrons underlies their rich and often exotic properties like fragile heavy quasipartilces, variety of magnetic orders and unconventional superconductivity. 5$f$-electron actinide…

Experimental evidence for the possible universality classes of the metal-insulator transition (MIT) in two dimensions (2D) is discussed. Sufficiently strong disorder, in particular, changes the nature of the transition. Comprehensive…

Materials with correlated electrons often respond very strongly to external or internal influences, leading to instabilities and states of matter with broken symmetry. This behavior can be studied theoretically either by evaluating the…
We consider dressing of excitonic properties by strongly correlated electrons in gate controlled twisted homo-bilayer heterostructures. The combined effect of the moir\'e potential and the Coulomb interaction supports the formation of…
