We derive an order-parameter field theory for a quantum phase transition between a disordered metal and an exotic (non-s-wave) superconductor. Mode coupling effects between the order parameter and other fermionic soft modes lead to an…
Accidental ground state degeneracies -- those not a consequence of global symmetries of the Hamiltonian -- are inevitably lifted by fluctuations, often leading to long-range order, a phenomenon known as "order-by-disorder" (ObD). The…
We report on numerically exact determinantal quantum Monte Carlo simulations of the onset of spin-density wave (SDW) order in itinerant electron systems captured by a sign-problem-free two-dimensional lattice model. Extensive measurements…
Inspired by recent discovery of metallic $d$-wave altermagnetism in KV$_2$Se$_2$O, we develop a self-consistent microscopic many-body calculation of density-wave order for an itinerant altermagnetic metal. We show that the strong $d$-wave…
Direct coupling between gapless bosons and a Fermi surface results in the destruction of Landau quasiparticles and a breakdown of Fermi liquid theory. Such a non-Fermi liquid phase arises in spin-orbit coupled ferromagnets with…
Electronic phases of matter, such as magnetism and superconductivity, are defined and distinguished by their order parameters that quantify the spontaneous symmetry breaking underlying each phase. The simplest cases are the uniform…
Odd-parity-wave magnets are noncollinear compensated magnets with spin-split band structure in the absence of spin-orbit coupling and dipolar interactions. In contrast to altermagnets, their spin-polarized band structure breaks inversion…
A theoretical study is presented on the odd-frequency spin-singlet pairing that arises in nonuniform even-frequency superconductors as a consequence of broken translation symmetry. The effect of the odd-frequency pairing on the superfluid…
We consider the effect of imperfect nesting in quasi-one-dimensional unconventional density waves in the case, when the imperfect nesting and the gap depends on the same wavevector component. The phase diagram is very similar to that in a…
Superconducting order parameters that are odd under exchange of time-coordinates of the electrons constituting a Cooper-pair, are potentially of great importance both conceptually and technologically. Recent experiments report that such an…
Spontaneous breaking of translational symmetry---known as `density wave' order---is common in nature. However such states are strongly sensitive to impurities or other forms of frozen disorder leading to fascinating glassy phenomena. We…
Odd-frequency pairing mechanism of superconductivity has been investigated for several decades. Nevertheless, its properties, including the thermodynamic stability, have remained unclear. In particular, it has been argued that the…
We study the low-energy behavior of metals coupled to gapless bosons. This problem arises in several contexts in modern condensed matter physics; we focus on the theory of metals near continuous quantum phase transitions (where the boson is…
Nonreciprocity of spin wave propagation is a well-known consequence of antisymmetric exchange contributions possible in magnetic spin systems that lack inversion symmetry. In this case, it is possible for the energy of a state to depend on…
Recent spectroscopic measurements in a number of strongly correlated metals that exhibit non-Fermi liquid like properties have observed evidence of anomalous frequency and momentum-dependent charge-density fluctuations. Specifically, in the…
Competition between collective states like charge density wave and superconductivity is played out in some of the transition metal dichalcogenides unencumbered by the spin degrees of freedom. Although 2H-NbSe$_2$ has received much less…
We investigate the quasiparticle spectrum near surfaces in a two-dimensional system with d-density-wave order within a mean-field theory. For Fermi surfaces with perfect nesting for the ordering wave vector of the d-density-wave, a zero…
We revisit the question of nature of odd-frequency superconductors, first proposed by Berezinskii in 1974. \cite{berezinskii1974} We start with the notion that order parameter of odd-frequency superconductors can be thought of as a time…
We study the frequency dependence of the electron self energy and the optical conductivity in a recently developed field theory of the spin density wave quantum phase transition in two dimensional metals. We focus on the interplay between…
In this note, we calculate the electronic properties of a realistic atomistic model of amorphous graphene. The model contains odd membered rings, particularly five and seven membered rings and no coordination defects. We show that…
