The spin susceptibility of strongly correlated Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ is known to display a rich structure in reciprocal space, with a prominent peak at ${\bf Q}_i$=$(0.3,0.3,0)$. It is still debated if the resulting incommensurate spin-density-wave…
The particular shape of the Fermi surface can give rise to a number of collective quantum phenomena in solids, such as density wave orderings or even superconductivity. In many new iron superconductors this shape, the 'nested' Fermi…

Sr$_2$MoO$_4$ is isostructural to the unconventional superconductor Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ but with two electrons instead of two holes in the Mo/Ru-t$_{2g}$ orbitals. Both materials are Hund's metals, but while Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ has a van Hove…
