Spin waves (SW) are the excitation of the spin system in a ferromagnetic condensed matter body. They are collective excitations of the electron system and, from a quasi-classical point of view, can be understood as a coherent precession of…
We considered the circulating current induced by the current magnification and the persistent current induced by Aharonov-Casher flux. The persistent currents have directional dependence on the direct current flow, but the circulating…
The charge density wave (CDW) is a condensate that often forms in layered materials. It is known to carry electric current \emph{en masse}, but the transport mechanism remains poorly understood at the microscopic level. Its quantum nature…
We consider the possibility of formation of an unconventional spin density wave (USDW) in quasi-one dimensional electronic systems. In analogy with unconventional superconductivity, we develop a mean field theory of SDW allowing for the…
We discuss the long range interactions mediated by continuous spin particles. We start by deriving the propagator for a continuous spin particle using the antifield BRST formalism. Then we couple the continuous spin particle to a conserved…
We calculate the average persistent current in a normal conducting, mesoscopic ring in the diffusive regime. In the presence of magnetic impurities, a contribution to the persistent current is identified, which is related to fluctuations in…
The magnetoresistance (MR) of a material is typically insensitive to reversing the applied field direction and varies quadratically with magnetic field in the low-field limit. Quantum effects [1], unusual topological band structures [2],…
Quark matter at astrophysical densities may contain stable vortices due to the spontaneous breaking of hypercharge symmetry by kaon condensation. We argue that these vortices could be both charged and electrically superconducting. Current…
We show that a spatially-dependent magnetic field can induce a persistent spin current in a spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnetic ring, proportional to the solid angle subtended by the magnetic field on a unit sphere. The result is a direct…
A spin-rotation symmetry in spin-orbit coupled two-dimensional electron systems gives rise to a long-lived spin excitation that is robust against short-range impurity scattering. The influence of a constant in-plane electric field on this…

Recent experiments and realistic flux-gradient-driven computer simulations provide evidence of plastic flow of flux lines in a superconductor. The striking videos of the onset of vortex motion vividly illustrate the existence of flowing…
We consider the effect that a change in the magnetic induction B has in causing an orbitally quantized field-induced spin- or charge density wave (FISDW or FICDW) state to depart from thermodynamic equilibrium. The competition between…
We predict a mechanism of spontaneous stabilization of a uniaxial density wave in a two-dimensional metal with an isotropic Fermi surface in the presence of external magnetic field. The topological transformation of a closed Fermi surface…

We construct three-orbital tight-binding models describing single-component molecular conductors [Pt(dmdt)$_2$] and [Ni(dmdt)$_2$] using first-principles calculations. We show that [Ni(dmdt)$_2$] is a Dirac nodal line system with highly…
We demonstrate that electron wave functions change their dimensionality at some commensurate directions of a magnetic field in conductors with open [quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D)] sheets of Fermi surface. These 1D -> 2D dimensional crossovers…
We examine critically the idea that fractional charges may carry electrical current in a conductor, much as do the normal electrons in a metallic Fermi liquid. We explore a range of issues that have gained the status of indispensability for…
