Interlayer single particle tunneling between the $Cu-O$ layers suppress the in-plane short range magnetic order (which is modeled as spin density wave (SDW) insulator). Doping over the SDW state kills perfect nesting of the Fermi surface…

Previous work has demonstrated the existence of soliton defect states with charges +/- e/2 in the limits of zero and of infinite on-site Coulomb interactions in the one-dimensional (1D) quarter-filled band. For large but finite on-site…
We investigate the effect of a spin-density wave (SDW) on $s_{\pm}$ superconductivity in Fe-based superconductors. We show that, contrary to the common wisdom, no nodes open at the new, reconnected Fermi surfaces when the hole and electron…
Superconductivity emerging near charge-density-wave (CDW) quantum critical points often defies a conventional BCS description, particularly in multi-orbital systems with small and orbitally distinct Fermi surfaces. In TiSe$_2$,…
We demonstrate that charge-density-wave formation is possible via a purely electronic mechanism in monolayers of the transition metal dichalcogenide 1T-VSe$_2$. Via a renormalization group treatment of an extended Hubbard model we examine…
