For the traditional low T_c superconductors, the superconducting condensation energy is proportional to the change in energy of the ionic lattice between the normal and superconducting state, providing a clear link between pairing and the…
Superconductivity and ferroelectricity,representing two distinct forms of ordered states, are typically not found together in the same system, making it even more difficult to create a connection between them. Here, supported by…
We have performed an extensive ab initio LDA and LSDA+U calculations of electronic structure of newly discovered high-temperature superconducting series ReO(1-x)F(x)FeAs (Re=La,Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm and hypothetical case of Re=Y). In all cases we…
A general theory of superconductivity based on the pairing of electrons that belong to different electronic bands is presented. These electronic bands arise because of a symmetry breaking at the critical temperature in such a way that one…
Interfaces can differ from their parent compounds in terms of charge, spin, and orbital orders and are fertile ground for emergent phenomena, strongly correlated physics, and device applications. Here, we discover that ferroelectric order…
Non-reciprocal superconductivity, also known as the superconducting diode effect, has been extensively studied in the presence of a magnetic field or some form of ferromagnetic order breaking time-reversal symmetry. We here show that…
In the usual description of electrons in metals and superconductors, the single electron states are assumed to satisfy Bloch's theorem. This is because the electron-ion interaction is privileged over the electron-electron interaction.…

In 1966, Pierre-Gilles de Gennes proposed a non-volatile mechanism for switching superconductivity on and off in a magnetic device. This involved a superconductor (S) sandwiched between ferromagnetic (F) insulators in which the net magnetic…
Alkali superoxides differ from conventional transition metal magnets, exhibit magnetism from partially occupied oxygen molecular $\pi^*$-orbitals. Among them, CsO$_2$ stands out for its potential to exhibit novel quantum collective…
Near a quantum critical point (QCP) in a metal, strong Fermion-Fermion interactions mediated by soft collective bosons give rise to two competing phenomena: non-Fermi liquid behavior and superconductivity that deviates from conventional BCS…
Conventional phonon-electron interaction induces either triplet or one of two (degenerate) singlet pairing states in time reversal and inversion invariant 3D Dirac semi - metal. Investigation of the order parameters and energies of these…
A prominent character of two-dimensional magnetic systems is the enhanced spin fluctuations, which however reduce the ordering temperature. Here we report that a magnetic field of only one-thousandth of the Heisenberg superexchange…
We investigate low-temperature electronic states of the series of organic conductors $\beta^{\prime\prime}$-(BEDT-TTF)$_4$[(H$_3$O)M(C$_2$O$_4$)$_3$]G, where BEDT-TTF is bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene, and M and G represent trivalent…
