We study the inhomogeneity of the electronic pairing gap observed by STM near the surface of Bi$_{2}$Sr$_{2}$CaCu$_{2}$O$_{8+\delta}$ to be correlated with interstitial O defects. We treat the problem in a slave boson mean field theory of a…
It is found that the carriers of the high-T_c cuprates are polaron-like "stripons" carrying charge and located in stripe-like inhomogeneities, "quasi-electrons" carrying charge and spin, and "svivons" carrying spin and lattice distortion.…
We argue the coherent part of the spectral weight always contribute symmetrically to the STM spectrum at sufficiently low energy and the tunneling asymmetry is a manifestation of the incoherent part of the electron spectrum. By subtracting…
Possible anisotropic spin singlet pairings in Bi$_2$X$_3$ (X is Se or Te) are studied. Among six pairings compatible with the crystal symmetry, two novel pairings show nontrivial surface Andreev bound states, which form flat bands and could…
We demonstrate that quantum coherence can be generated by the interplay of coupling to an incoherent environment and kinetic processes. This joint effect even occurs in a repulsively interacting fermionic system initially prepared in an…

Dark energy interacting with dark matter is a promising model to solve the cosmic coincidence problem. We study the signature of such interaction on large scale cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature anisotropies. Based on the detail…

Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is a fundamental interaction in solids which can induce a broad spectrum of unusual physical properties from topologically non-trivial insulating states to unconventional pairing in superconductors. In iron-based…

We calculate the production rate of gauge-boson pairs at the SSC in a model with a ``hidden'' electroweak symmetry breaking sector. We show that the signal of electroweak symmetry breaking is lower than the background and that we cannot…
We examine the pairing structure of holes injected into two \emph{distinct} spin backgrounds: a short-range antiferromagnetic phase versus a symmetry protected topological phase. Based on density matrix renormalization group (DMRG)…
