Understanding exotic, non s--wave--like states of Cooper pairs is important and may lead to new superconductors with higher critical temperatures and novel properties. Their existence is known to be possible but has always been thought to…
A unitary transformation is applied to the Hubbard model, which maps the Hubbard interaction to a single particle term. The resulting Hamiltonian consists of unconstrained fermions, which is then mapped to a Hamiltonian of spinless fermions…
Recent experiments found superconductivity in nonmagnetic MnB$_4$ with a high critical temperature ($T_{c}$) reaching 14 K at 158 GPa. However, ab initio calculations of the electron-phonon coupling predict a $T_{c}$ below 1 K, suggesting…
The motion of an electron and its spin are generally not coupled. However in a one dimensional material with strong spin-orbit interaction (SOI) a helical state may emerge at finite magnetic fields, where electrons of opposite spin will…
