The spin-wave theory and the coherent potential approximation are applied to a spin S Heisenberg antiferromagnet with nonmagnetic impurities on square lattice. The impurity effects are taken into account by substituting S(1-x) for S and…
Short-range antiferromagnetic correlations are known to open a spin gap in the repulsive Hubbard model on ladders with $M$ legs, when $M$ is even. We show that the spin gap originates from the formation of correlated pairs of electrons with…

We have studied the effect of non-magnetic Zn impurities in the coupled spin-ladder Bi(Cu1xZnx)2PO6 using 31P NMR, muSR and Quantum Monte Carlo simulations. Our results show that the impurities induce in their vicinity antiferromagnetic…
There is strong support in favor of an unusual $s_{\pm}$ superconducting state in the new iron-based superconductors, in which the gap parameter has opposite signs in different bands. In this case scattering between different bands by…
In weak coupling, the spin gap in doped, even, n-leg periodic Hubbard ladders reflects the energy to break a pair into separate quasiparticles. Here we investigate the structure of the gap within a spin-fluctuation exchange approximation.…
