The finding of bulk quantum oscillations in the bulk Kondo insulator SmB$_6$, which has been proposed to be a correlated topological insulator, proved a considerable surprise. The subsequent measurement of bulk quantum oscillations in other…
We study the non-equilibrium regime of the Kondo effect in a quantum dot laterally coupled to a narrow wire. We observe a split Kondo resonance when a finite bias voltage is imposed across the wire. The splitting is attributed to the…

A microscopic theory is developed for the projection (quantum mirage) of the Kondo resonance from one focus of an elliptic quantum corral to the other focus. The quantum mirage is shown to be independent of the size and the shape of the…

In an exciting development, SmB6, a Kondo insulator has been shown to exhibit bulk quantum oscillations. We propose that SmB6 is a bulk scalar Majorana Fermi Liquid} (MFL) with a finite gap for charge and spin excitations. In their study of…
Quantum oscillations (QO) in metals refer to the periodic variation of thermodynamic and transport properties as a function of inverse applied magnetic field. QO frequencies are normally associated with semi-classical trajectories of Fermi…

In some metals containing a sub-lattice of rare earth or actinide ions, free local $f$ spins at high temperatures dissolve into the sea of quantum conduction electrons at low temperatures, where they become mobile excitations. Once mobile,…

We argue that topological Kondo insulators can also have 'intrinsic' topological order associated with fractionalized excitations on their surfaces. The hydridization between the local moments and conduction electrons can weaken near the…
In strongly correlated quantum materials, electrons behave in ways that often extend beyond the confines of conventional Fermi-liquid theory. Interesting results include the observation of low-temperature metallic behavior in systems that…

The search for a Fermi surface in the absence of a conventional Fermi liquid has thus far yielded very few potential candidates. Among promising materials are spin-frustrated Mott insulators near the insulator-metal transition, where theory…
When magnetic field is applied to metals and semimetals quantum oscillations appear as individual Landau levels cross the Fermi level. Quantum oscillations generally do not occur in superconductors (SC) because magnetic field is either…
In this paper we present a theoretical analysis of the effect of anomalies of the Fermi surface (FS) curvature on oscillations in the electron density of states (DOS) in strong magnetic fields. It is shown that the oscillations could be…
In the present work we theoretically analyze the effect of the Fermi surface local geometry on quantum oscillations in the velocity of an acoustic wave travelling in metal across a strong magnetic field. We show that local flattenings of…
Correlated kagome metals host unique electronic states that enable exotic quantum phenomena. In the recently emerged CsCr6Sb6, these manifest through Kondo behavior from localized Cr-3d electrons and unprecedented band flattening near the…
