We study the critical properties of a two--dimensional Ising model with competing ferromagnetic exchange and dipolar interactions, which models an ultra-thin magnetic film with high out--of--plane anisotropy in the monolayer limit. We…

We study dimensional crossover in Ising systems at complex temperatures by comparing three types of system: the infinite isotropic 2D Ising model; the infinite anisotropic 2D Ising model; and Ising ladders with a finite number of legs. In…
The thermal conductivity of a $d=1$ lattice of ferromagnetically coupled planar rotators is studied through molecular dynamics. Two different types of anisotropies (local and in the coupling) are assumed in the inertial XY model. In the…
Both cuprates and iron-based superconductors demonstrate nematicity, defined as the spontaneous breaking of rotational symmetry in electron systems. The nematic state can play a role in the high-transition-temperature superconductivity of…

We evaluate the low-temperature conductance of a weakly interacting one-dimensional helical liquid without axial spin symmetry. The lack of that symmetry allows for inelastic backscattering of a single electron, accompanied by…
We report direct experimental evidence that the insulating phase of a disordered, yet strongly interacting two-dimensional electron system (2DES) becomes unstable at low temperatures. As the temperature decreases, a transition from…

The instability of a Fermi surface against Ising nematic order destroys the quasiparticle character of the low-energy degrees of freedom. Therefore, observables exhibit deviations from Fermi liquid behavior which gives rise to the term…
At very large tilt of the magnetic (B) field with respect to the plane of a two-dimensional electron system the transport in the integer quantum Hall regime at $\nu$ = 4, 6, and 8 becomes strongly anisotropic. At these filling factors the…
The electrical Hall conductivities of any anisotropic interacting system with reflection symmetry obey sigma_{xy} = - sigma_{yx}. In contrast, we show that the analogous relation between the transverse thermoelectric Peltier coefficients,…
Short-range electron-electron interactions are incorporated into the network model of the integer quantum Hall effect. In the presence of interactions, the electrons, propagating along one link, experience exchange scattering off the…
