An electronic nematic state spontaneously breaks a point-group symmetry of an underlying lattice. As a result, the nematic-isotropic transition accompanies a Fermi surface distortion. However, the anisotropic nature of the nematic state at…
We have carried out density-functional theory (DFT) calculations to study the magnetic stability of both ferromagnetic (FM) and anti-ferromagnetic (AFM) states in monolayer 1T-CrTe2. Our results show that the AFM order is lower in energy…
The weak coupling instabilities of a two dimensional Fermi system are investigated for the case of a square lattice using a Wilson renormalization group scheme to one loop order. We focus on a situation where the Fermi surface passes…
The phase diagram of the fully frustrated XY model on a honeycomb lattice is shown to incorporate three different ordered phases. In the most unusual of them, a long-range order is related not to the dominance of a particular periodic…
Based on a detailed modeling of the Fermi surface topology of MgB2 we calculated the anisotropy of the upper critical field Bc2 within the two gap model. The sigma-band is modeled as a distorted cylinder and the pi-band as a half-torus,…
We report magnetic-field-induced first-order phase transitions in the ferro-quadrupole (FQ) ordered state of PrTi2Al20, in which non-Kramers Pr3+ ions with two 4f electrons have a non-magnetic Gamma3 doublet ground state in the cubic Td…
Based on the quasiclassical theory, we investigate the vortex state in a two-band superconductor with a small gap on a three dimensional Fermi surface and a large gap on a quasi-two dimensional one, as in MgB_2. The field dependence of…
The ground state of the antiferromagnetic XY model with a kagome lattice is characterized by a well developed accidental degeneracy. As a consequence the phase transition in this system consists in unbinding of pairs of fractional vortices.…
Vortex lattice structures in Rashba noncentrosymmetric superconductors in magnetic fields parallel to the basal plane (${\bf H} \perp c$) are examined based on the BCS-like Hamiltonian and the resulting Ginzburg-Landau functional. Due to…
Cubic Pr-based compounds with $\Gamma_3$ non-Kramers doublet ground states can realize a novel heavy Fermi liquid with spinorial hybridization ('hastatic' order) that breaks time reversal symmetry. Several Pr-"1-2-20" materials exhibit a…
Interesting emergent behavior in quantum materials arises when the interaction of electrons with the lattice leads to partial localization and ordering of charge at low temperatures. The triangular lattice of some transition metal…
We study the two-dimensional Kondo lattice model with an additional Heisenberg exchange between localized spins. In a first step we use mean-field theory with two order parameters. The first order parameter is a complex pairing amplitude…
The morphology of the superconducting flux line lattice (FLL) of Nb comprises gradual variations with various lock-in transitions and symmetry breaking rotations. We report a comprehensive small-angle neutron scattering study of the FLL in…
Spin-driven nematicity, or the breaking of the point-group symmetry of the lattice without long-range magnetic order, is clearly quite important in iron-based superconductors. From a symmetry point of view, nematic order can be described as…
We show in a realistic $d_{x^{2}-y^{2}}$ symmetry gap model for a cuprate superconductor that the clean vortex lattice has discontinuous structural transitions (at and near T=0), as a function of the magnetic field $B$ along the c-axis. The…
We show that the order-disorder phase transition in the three state Potts ferromagnet on a square lattice is driven by a coupled proliferation of vortices and domain walls. Raising the vortex core energy above a certain value decouples the…
We present surface impedance measurement of the vortex linear response in a large untwinned YBCO crystal. The depinning spectra obtained over a broad frequency range (100 Hz- 30 MHz) are those of a surface pinned vortex lattice with a free…
Motivated by the recent finding of superconductivity in layered CoO_2 compounds, we investigate superconducting and magnetic instabilities of interacting electrons on the two-dimensional triangular lattice. Using a one-loop renormalization…
The rhombic-to-square transition field $H_{\Box}(T)$ for cubic and tetragonal materials in fields along [001] is evaluated using the nonlocal London theory with account of thermal vortex fluctuations. Unlike extended Ginzburg-Landau models,…
One central issue under intense debate in the study of the iron based superconductors is the origin of the structural phase transition that changes the crystal lattice symmetry from tetragonal to orthorhombic. This structural phase…
