Traditionally, the subject of hydromagnetic equilibrium in neutron stars has been addressed in the context of standard magnetohydrodynamics, with matter obeying a barotropic equation of state. In this paper we take a step towards a more…
We studied the charge-orbital ordering in the superlattice of charge-ordered insulating Pr$_{0.5}$Ca$_{0.5}$MnO$_3$ and ferromagnetic metallic La$_{0.5}$Sr$_{0.5}$MnO$_3$ by resonant soft x-ray diffraction. A temperature-dependent…
We show that when spin and orbital angular momenta are entangled by spin-orbit coupling, this transforms a topological spin-triplet superfluid/superconductor state, such as $^{3}$He-B, into a topological $s^{\pm}$ state, with non-trivial…
Historically, comprehensive studies of dilute ferromagnetic semiconductors, e.g., $p$-type (Cd,Mn)Te and (Ga,Mn)As, paved the way for a quantitative theoretical description of effects associated with spin-orbit interactions in solids, such…
By means of powder neutron diffraction we investigate changes in the magnetic structure of the coplanar non-collinear antiferromagnet Mn$_3$Ge caused by an application of hydrostatic pressure up to 5\phantom{ }GPa. At ambient conditions the…
We report on a temperature-driven reversible change of the in-plane magnetic anisotropy of V$_2$O$_3$/Ni bilayers. This is caused by the rhombohedral to monoclinic structural phase transition of V$_2$O$_3$ at $T_C$ = 160 K. The in-plane…
Superconductivity and superfluidity with anisotropic pairing -- such as $d$-wave in cuprates and $p$-wave in superfluid $^3$He -- are strongly suppressed by impurities. Meanwhile, for applications, the robustness of Cooper pairs to disorder…
Highly anisotropic properties of CeIr$_3$Si$_2$ have been observed by the magnetization $M$($B$), electrical resistivity $\rho$, and specific heat measurements on a single-crystalline sample. This compound with an orthorhombic structure…

Layered transition metal dichalcogenide WTe$_2$ has recently attracted significant attention due to the discovery of an extremely large magnetoresistance, a predicted type-II Weyl semimetallic state, and the pressure-induced superconducting…

Iridate heterostructures are gaining interest as their magnetic properties are much more sensitive to structural distortion compared to pure spin systems due to spin-orbital entanglement induced by strong spin-orbit coupling. While bulk…

The magnetic field dependence of the $A\to B$ transition temperature $T_{AB}$ in the superfluid $^3He$ is reconsidered in order to take into account the linear-in-field contribution beyond the approximation used in Ref.[7]. In the high…
We observe pronounced transport anisotropies in magneto-transport experiments performed in the two-dimensional electron system of a Si/SiGe heterostructure. They occur when an in-plane field is used to tune two Landau levels with opposite…
To characterize the possible magnetic structures created on magnetic multilayers a model has been formulated and studied. The interlayer inhomogeneous structures found indicate either (i) a regular periodic, (ii) a quasiperiodic change in…
