We theoretically study the conductivity of a disordered 2D metal when it is coupled to ferromagnetic magnons with a quadratic spectrum and a gap $\Delta$. In the diffusive limit, a combination of disorder and magnon-mediated electron…
Traditionally, superconductors are categorized as type-I or type-II. Type-I superconductors support only Meissner and normal states, while type-II superconductors form magnetic vortices in sufficiently strong applied magnetic fields.…

The semiclassical description of two-dimensional ($2d$) metals based on the quasiparticle picture suggests that there is a universal threshold of the resistivity: the resistivity of a $2d$ metal is bounded by the so called Mott-Ioffe-Regal…
We revisit the issue of superconductivity at the quantum-critical point (QCP) between a 2D paramagnet and a spin-density-wave metal with ordering momentum (\pi,\pi). This problem is highly non-trivial because the system at criticality…
Medium or high-entropy alloys (MEAs-HEAs) and rhenium-based compounds with a non-centrosymmetric (NC) structure have received a lot of attention for offering a fertile soil in search for unconventional superconductivity. Here, five…

We study a simple model for the metallic stripes found in $La_{1.6-x}Nd_{0.4}Sr_xCuO_4$: two chain Hubbard ladder embedded in a static antiferromagnetic environments. We consider two cases: a ``topological stripe'', for which the phase of…
We study electron propagation in a molecular lattice model. Each molecular site involves doubly degenerate electronic states coupled to doubly degenerate molecular vibration, leading to a so--called E-e type of Jahn-Teller Hamiltonian. For…
The iron-based superconductors allow for a zoo of possible order parameters due to their orbital degrees of freedom. These order parameters are often written in an orbital basis, as this allows to distinguish their different symmetry.…
We estimate the conjectured interaction between the Earth gravitational field and a superconductor immersed in external, static electric and magnetic field. The latter is close to the sample upper critical field and generates the presence…
High-temperature superconductivity emerges in a host of different quantum materials, often in a region of the phase diagram where the electronic kinetic energy is comparable in magnitude with the electron-electron Coulomb repulsion.…
In contrast to bulk FeSe, which exhibits nematic order and low temperature superconductivity, atomic layers of FeSe reverse the situation, having high temperature superconductivity appearing alongside a suppression of nematic order. To…

We study by the Gutzwiller approximation the melting of the valence bond crystal phase of a bilayer Hubbard model at sufficiently large inter-layer hopping. We find that a superconducting domain, with order parameter $d_{z^2-r^2}$, $z$…
It is well known that the electronic thermal conductivity of clean compensated semimetals can be greatly enhanced over the electric conductivity by the availability of an ambipolar mechanism of conduction, whereby electrons and holes flow…
