Condensates of atoms with spins can have vortices of several types; these are related to the symmetry group of the atoms' ground state. We discuss how, when a condensate is placed in a small magnetic field that breaks the spin symmetry,…

We study a two-dimensional, nonreciprocal XY model, where each spin interacts only with its nearest neighbours in a certain angle around its current orientation, i.e., its `vision cone'. Using energetic arguments and Monte-Carlo simulations…

We investigate equilibrium statistical properties of the quantum XY spin-1/2 model in an external magnetic field when the interaction and field parts are subjected to quenched or/and annealed disorder. The randomness present in the system…
The parallel stripe phase is remarkable both in its own right, and in relation to the other phases it co-exists with. Its inhomogeneous nature makes such states susceptible to random fields from quenched magnetic vacancies. We argue this is…
Spin systems exposed to the influence of random magnetic fields are paradigmatic examples for studying the effect of quenched disorder on condensed-matter systems. In this context, previous studies have almost exclusively focused on systems…
We present rigorous topological order which emerges in a one-dimensional spin-orbital model due to the ring topology. Although an exact solution of a spin-orbital ring with SU(2) spin and XY orbital interactions separates spins from…

We investigate the entanglement of the ferromagnetic XY model in a random magnetic field at zero temperature and in the uniform magnetic field at finite temperatures. We use the concurrence to quantify the entanglement. We find that, in the…
The dynamical steady state behaviour of the random field Ising ferromagnet swept by a propagating magnetic field wave is studied at zero temperature by Monte Carlo simulation in two dimensions. The distribution of the random field is…
Random fields disorder Ising ferromagnets by aligning single spins in the direction of the random field in three space dimensions, or by flipping large ferromagnetic domains at dimensions two and below. While the former requires random…
