MCrS2 compounds (M=Li, Na, K, Cu, Ag, and Au) with triangular Cr layers show large variety of magnetic ground states ranging from 120-degree antiferromagnetic order of Cr spins in LiCrS2 to double stripes in AgCrS2, helimagnetic order in…
Electrons in condensed matter may transition into a variety of broken-symmetry phase states due to electron-electron interactions. Applying diverse mean-field approximations to the interaction term is arguably the simplest way to identify…
Unconventional superconductivity, where electron pairing does not involve electron-phonon interactions, is often attributed to magnetic correlations in a material. Well known examples include high-T_c cuprates and uranium-based heavy…
A key question in the theory of high-temperature superconductivity is whether Off-diagonal Long-Range Order (ODLRO) can be induced wholly or in large part by repulsive electronic correlations. Electron pairs on Cuprate and the iron-based…
