We present a detailed analysis on the hopping between monolayer CuO$_2$ and bulk CuO$_2$ plane in the Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+\delta}$ substrate. With a two-band model, we demonstrate that the nodeless gap can only exist when the hole…
Pairing of mobile charge carriers in doped antiferromagnets plays a key role in the emergence of unconventional superconductivity. In these strongly correlated materials, the pairing mechanism is often assumed to be mediated by magnetic…
Through a 2-dimensionnal tight-binding crystal orbital approach and a (CuO2)2 square unit cell of parameter a, we show that a Cu2+/O2- -> Cu+/O- charge transfer is likely to occur at the M($\pi/a$, $\pi/a$) point of the Brillouin zone, for…
The long-range forces between holes in an antiferromagnet are due to magnon exchange. The one-magnon exchange potential between two holes is proportional to cos(2\phi)/r^2 where r is the distance vector of the holes and \phi is the angle…
Superconductivity with $T_c \approx 15K$ was recently found in doped NdNiO$_2$. The Ni$^{1+}$O$_2$ layers are expected to be Mott insulators so hole doping should produce Ni$^{2+}$ with $S=1$, incompatible with robust superconductivity. We…
Binding energy, which quantifies pair formation, is a key factor in the emergence of superconductivity. Here, we show that even when multiple spins are complexly coupled, hole-doped systems, which can be mapped onto the universal hardcore…
Conventional and unconventional superconductivity, respectively, arise from attractive (electron-phonon) and repulsive (many-body Coulomb) interactions with fixed-sign and sign-reversal pairing symmetries. Although heavy-fermions, cuprates,…

We extend the methods recently introduced in Phys. Rev. Lett. 106 036401 (2011) to investigate correlations between two spin-polarons in a quasi-two-dimensional CuO2 layer. The low-energy wavefunctions for two doped holes introduced in a…
By a canonical transformation of the three-band Hubbard model, we introduce an effective Hamiltonian for the propagation of two holes doped into the ground state of the Cu-O plane. When the pair belongs to the $^{1}B_{2}$ or $% ^{1}A_{2}$…
The interactions between holes in the Hubbard model, in the low density, intermediate to strong coupling limit, are investigated. Dressed spin polarons in neighboring sites have an increased kinetic energy and an enhanced hopping rate. Both…
Two-magnon modes are terahertz-frequency magnetic excitations in antiferromagnets, governed by exchange interactions, involving magnons from the entire Brillouin zone and dominated by zone-edge magnons. The ability to couple to light…
We demonstrate that the infinite-$U$ triangular-lattice Hubbard model supports a superconducting state built from tightly bound Cooper pairs composed of two holes and one magnon ($2h1m$). Building on the seminal prediction of repulsively…
Electrons and holes residing on the opposing sides of an insulating barrier and experiencing an attractive Coulomb interaction can spontaneously form a coherent state known as an indirect exciton condensate. We study a trilayer system where…
