Zero-point quantum fluctuations of a N\'eel order can produce effective interactions between quasi-orphan spins weakly coupled to the lattice. On the $\sqrt{3}\times\sqrt{3}-$distorted triangular lattice, this phenomenon leads to a…
Strong electronic interactions can drive a system into a state with a symmetry breaking. Lattice frustration or competing interactions tend to prevent a symmetry breaking, leading to quantum disordered phases. In spin systems frustration…

As a collective quasiparticle excitation of the magnetic order in magnetic materials, spin wave, or magnon when quantized, can propagate in both conducting and insulating materials. Like the manipulation of its optical counterpart, the…

When the impurity mean free path is short, only spin-polarized Cooper pairs which are non-locally and antisymmetrically correlated in time may exist in a half-metallic ferromagnet. As a consequence, the half-metal acts as an odd-frequency…
