We consider quantum condensed matter systems without particle-number conservation. Since the particle number is not a good quantum number, states belonging to different particle-number sectors can hybridize, which causes topological…

Zero-point spin fluctuations are shown to strongly influence the ground state of ferromagnetic metals and to impose limitations for the fully spin polarized state assumed in half-metallic ferromagnets, which may influence their applications…
We study the nature of edge states in extrinsically and spontaneously dimerized states of two-dimensional spin-1/2 antiferromagnets, by performing quantum Monte Carlo simulation. We show that a gapless edge mode emerges in the wide region…
It is taken for granted that bound systems are made of massive constituents that interact through particle exchanges (charged particles interacting via photon exchanges, quarks in elementary particles interacting via gluon exchanges, and…
As discussed in this chapter, we develop a mean-field mathematical method to calculate the ground states of antiferromagnets and better understand the applied magnetic-field induced exotic properties. Within antiferromagnetic materials…
Quite a few low-dimensional magnets are quantum-disordered ``spin liquids'' with a characteristic gap in the magnetic excitation spectrum. Among these are antiferromagnetic chains of integer quantum spins. Their generic feature are…
When subject to a weak magnetic impurity distribution, the order parameter and quasi-particle energy gap of a weakly disordered bulk s-wave superconductor are suppressed. In the Born scattering limit, recent investigations have shown that…
