A possible ground state of NaV_2O_5 is proposed based on the Hartree approximation for both on-site and intersite Coulomb interactions. The results indicate that the intersite Coulomb interaction induces a zigzag type of charge…
We discuss the spatial structure of the Cooper pair in dilute neutron matter and neutron-rich nuclei by means of the BCS theory and the Skyrme-Hartree-Fock-Bogioliubov model, respectively. The neutron pairing in dilute neutron matter is…
We argue that the striking similarity between the cosmic abundances of baryons and dark matter, despite their very different astrophysical behavior, strongly motivates the scenario in which dark matter resides within a rich dark sector…

It is recently noted that in certain centrosymmetric compounds, spin-orbit interaction couples each local sector that lacks inversion symmetry and thus leads to visible spin polarization effects in the real space, dubbed as 'hidden spin…
Interaction-induced magnetism at the ends of carbon nanotubes is studied theoretically, with a special focus on magnetic anisotropies. Spin-orbit coupling, generally weak in ordinary graphene, is strongly enhanced in nanotubes. In…
The nature of pairing correlations in neutron matter is re-examined. Working within the conventional approximation in which the $nn$ pairing interaction is provided by a realistic bare $nn$ potential fitted to scattering data, it is…
Mobile holes in an antiferromagnetic insulator form a slowly fluctuating array of quasi one-dimensional metallic stripes, which induce a spin gap or pseudogap in the intervening Mott-insulating regions. The mobile holes on an individual…
Finite nuclei such as those found in the chain of even tin isotopes from ^{102}Sn to ^{130}Sn, exhibit a near constancy of the 2^+_1-0^+_1 excitation energy, a constancy which can be related to strong pairing correlations and the near…

The intrinsic spin-orbit interactions in bilayer graphene and in graphite are studied, using a tight binding model, and an intraatomic LS coupling. The spin-orbit interactions in bilayer graphene and graphite are larger, by about one order…
There are several interacting spin systems which have a gap in their spin excitation spectrum. The gap does not occur due to anisotropies present in the system but is quantum mechanical in origin. We give a brief overview on the different…
Quantum wires with spin-orbit coupling provide a unique opportunity to simultaneously control the coupling strength and the screened Coulomb interactions where new exotic phases of matter can be explored. Here we report on the observation…
