Modifying the conventional spin-wave theory in a novel manner based on the Wick decomposition, we present an elaborate thermodynamics of square-lattice quantum antiferromagnets. Our scheme is no longer accompanied by the notorious problem…
Magnetic fluctuations in an unconventional superconductor (U-SC) can distinguish between distinct proposals for the symmetry of the order parameter. Motivated thereby, we undertake a study magnetic fluctuations in Iron pnictides, tracking…
Recent experiments suggest that besides of antiferromagnetic fluctuations nematic fluctuations may contribute to the occurrence of superconductivity in iron pnictides. Motivated by this observation we study superconductivity from nematic…
High energy resolution spectroscopic studies of quantum magnets have proven to be extremely valuable in directly accessing magnetodynamics quantities, such as energy barriers, magnetic interactions, lifetime of excited states and…
We study the finite-temperature spin dynamics of the paramagnetic phase of iron pnictides within an antiferromagnetic J_1-J_2 Heisenberg model on a square lattice with a biquadratic coupling $-K (S_i \cdot S_j)^2$ between the…
Nonequilibrium quasiparticle relaxation dynamics is reported in superconducting CaFe1.89Co0.11As2 single crystal using femtosecond time-resolved pump-probe spectroscopy. The carrier dynamics reflects a three-channel decay of laser deposited…
Understanding quantum magnetism in two-dimensional systems represents a lively branch in modern condensed-matter physics. In the presence of competing super-exchange couplings, magnetic order is frustrated and can be suppressed down to zero…
We study a two-orbital spin model to describe (pi,0) stripe antiferromagnetism in the iron pnictides. The "double-spin" model has an on-site Hunds's coupling and inter-site interactions extending to second neighbors (inter- and…
Motivated by recent experimental detection of Neel-type ($(\pi,\pi)$) magnetic fluctuations in some iron pnictides, we study the impact of competing $(\pi,\pi)$ and $(\pi,0)$ spin fluctuations on the superconductivity of these materials. We…
We report the observation of an unusual $B$ dependence of transverse magnetoresistance (MR) in the PrFeAsO, one of the parent compound of pnictide superconductors. Below the spin density wave transition, MR is large, positive and increases…
We have made a variational analysis on an evolution of superconductivity from weak to strong coupling regime. In contrast to a crossover without thermodynamic anomaly found in a dilute system, we show the existence of a quantum phase…
The high-transition-temperature (high-Tc) superconductivity discovered recently in iron pnictides is analyzed within a perturbation theory. Specifically, the probable pairing symmetry, the doping dependence of the transition temperature and…
The dynamics of Higgs mode in superconductors, manifested as coherent oscillations of the superconducting order parameter amplitude, provides vital insights into the nature of the superconducting gap structure and symmetry. Here we utilize…
A dynamical quantum phase transition can occur during time evolution of sudden quenched quantum systems across a phase transition. It corresponds to the nonanalytic behavior at a critical time of the rate function of the quantum state…
A spectrum exhibiting $E_8$ symmetry is expected to arise when a small longitudinal field is introduced in the transverse-field Ising chain at its quantum critical point. Evidence for this spectrum has recently come from neutron scattering…
We investigate the electronic and magnetic structures of the 122 (AM$_2$B$_2$) hexagonal transition-metal pnictides with A=(Sr, Ca), M=(Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni) and B=(As, P, Sb). It is found that the family of materials share critical…
In a number of recent experiments it has been demonstrated that in ultra-narrow superconducting channels quantum fluctuations of the order parameter, alternatively called quantum phase slips, are responsible for the finite resistance well…
The extent to which quantum criticality drives the physics of iron pnictides is a central question in the field. Earlier theoretical considerations were based on an effective field theory, and the proposed realization in P-doped iron…
We analyze effects of a random magnetic potential in a microfabricated waveguide for ultra-cold atoms. We find that the shape and position fluctuations of a current carrying wire induce strongly disordered potential that is quasiperiodic…
The interplay of structural and electronic phases in iron-based superconductors is a central theme in the search for the superconducting pairing mechanism. While electronic nematicity, defined as the breaking of four-fold symmetry triggered…
