Superconductivity occurs in the proximity of other competing orders in a wide variety of materials. Such competing phases may reveal themselves when superconductivity is locally suppressed by a magnetic field in the core of a vortex. We…

Vortex cores in a superconductor can develop structure and manifest competing orders. In strong magnetic fields, the inter-vortex distance can become short enough for vortex cores to overlap, giving rise to long ranged textures. We show…

Motivated by recent interest in spin triplet superconductors, we investigate the vortex lattice structures for this class of unconventional superconductors. We discuss how the order parameter symmetry can give rise to U(1)$\times$U(1)…

Research on graphene has revealed remarkable phenomena arising in the honeycomb lattice. However, the quantum spin Hall effect predicted at the K point could not be observed in graphene and other honeycomb structures of light elements due…

The higher-order corner modes for quantum anomalous Hall insulators in $C_3$ symmetry broken honeycomb lattice have been engineered recently. Here we consider an extended Haldane model in presence of inversion symmetry breaking sub-lattice…

We show that a superconducting vortex in underdoped high T_c superconductors could have an antiferromagnetic core. This type of vortex configuration arises as a topological solution in the recently constructed SO(5) nonlinear sigma model…

The structure of a superconducting vortex has been studied theoretically for a dirty antiferromagnetic superconductor (AFSC), modelling an AFSC as a doped semi-metal with s-wave superconducting pairing and antiferromagnetic (dielectric)…

Coexistence of antiferromagnetic order with superconductivity in many families of newly discovered iron-based superconductors has renewed interest to this old problem. Due to competition between the two types of order, one can expect…

The quasiparticle states found in the vortex core of a high-T$_{\rm{c}}$ cuprate superconductor may be probed by scanning tunneling spectroscopy. Results of such experiments have revealed typical spectra that are quite different from what…

We classify the order parameters on the honeycomb lattice using the SO(4) symmetry of the Hubbard model. We will focus on the topologically nontrivial quantum spin Hall order and spin triplet superconductor, which together belong to the (3,…

In great contrast to the numerous discoveries of superconductivity in layer-stacked graphene systems, the absence of superconductivity in the simplest and cleanest monolayer graphene remains a big puzzle. Here, through realistic computation…

We present a promising route to realize spontaneous magnetic order on the surface of a 3D topological insulator by applying a superlattice potential. The superlattice potential creates tunable van Hove singularities, which, when combined…

We determine the nature of the magnetic order on the surface of a topological insulator (TI) which develops due to hexagonal warping and the resulting Fermi surface (FS) nesting in the presence of a repulsive Hubbard interaction. For this…

Role of chiral symmetry in many-body states of graphene in strong magnetic fields is theoretically studied with the honeycomb lattice model. For a spin-split Landau level where the leading electron-electron interaction is the…

We construct a minimal four-band model for the two-dimensional (2D) topological insulators and quantum anomalous Hall insulators based on the $p_x$- and $p_y$-orbital bands in the honeycomb lattice. The multiorbital structure allows the…

Evidence is mounting that charge order competes with superconductivity in high Tc cuprates. Whether this has any relationship to the pairing mechanism is unknown since neither the universality of the competition nor its microscopic nature…

Graphene was the first material predicted to be a time-reversal-invariant topological insulator; however, the insulating gap is immeasurably small owing to the weakness of spin-orbit interactions in graphene. A recent experiment [1]…

Applying a Lindemann-like criterion obtained previously by Kierfeld, Nattermann and Hwa [Phys. Rev. B 55, 626 (1997)], we estimate the magnetic field and temperature for a high-$T_c$ superconductor, at which a topologically ordered vortex…

A spatially non-uniform superconducting phase is proposed as the electronic variational ground state for the attractive interactions between nearest neighbors on graphene's honeycomb lattice, close to and right at the filling one half. The…

Following the recent realization of an artificial version of Graphene in the electronic surface states of copper with judiciously placed carbon monoxide molecules inducing the honeycomb lattice symmetry (K. K. Gomes et al., Nature 483, 306…
