If the topological insulator Bi$_{2}$Se$_{3}$ is doped with electrons, superconductivity with $T_{{\rm c}}\approx3-4\:{\rm K}$ emerges for a low density of carriers ($n\approx10^{20}{\rm cm}^{-3}$) and with a small ratio of the…
Thermal fluctuations of the order parameter in an ultrathin triangular shaped superconducting structure are studied near $T_{c}$, in zero applied field. We find that the order parameter is prone to much larger fluctuations in the corners of…

We present a new mechanism to relax the initial misalignment angle of the QCD axion and raise the cosmological bound on the axion decay constant. The QCD axion receives a contribution from small UV instantons during inflation, which raises…

We show that heavy axion domain walls induce domain walls of the QCD axion through a mixing between the heavy axion and the QCD axion, even when the pre-inflationary initial condition is assumed for the QCD axion. The induced domain walls…
We compute correlation functions for one-dimensional electron systems which spin and charge degrees of freedom are coupled through spin-orbit coupling. Charge density waves, spin density waves, singlet- triplet- superconducting fluctuations…
The isostructural transition in the tetragonal phase, with sizable change in the anion-height, is realized in heavily H-doped LaFeAsO and (La,P) co-doped CaFe$_2$As$_2$. In these compounds, the superconductivity with higher-Tc (40~50 K) is…
Dynamic axion insulators feature a time-dependent axion field that can be induced by antiferromagnetic resonance. Here, we show that a Josephson junction incorporating this dynamic axion insulator between two superconductors exhibits a…
