We extend recent low temperature analyses of competing orders in the cuprate superconductors to the pseudogap regime where all orders are fluctuating. A universal continuum limit of a classical Ginzburg-Landau functional is used to…
Engineering long-range interactions in experimental platforms has been achieved with great success in a large variety of quantum systems in recent years. Inspired by this progress, we propose a generalization of the classical Hamiltonian…
Magnetic properties of the two-dimensional spin-polarized Fermi gas with dipole-dipole interaction are studied in the presence of external magnetic field at zero temperature. Within perturbation theory and the second quantization formalism,…
Interacting two component Fermi gases are at the heart of our understanding of macroscopic quantum phenomena like superconductivity. Changing nature of the interaction is expected to head to novel quantum phases. Here we study the ground…
The Dirac-like electronic structure can host a large number of competing orders in the form of mass terms. In particular, two different order parameters can be said to be dual to each other, when a static defect in one of them traps a…
We study the competition between the nematic and the hexatic phases of a two-dimensional spinless Fermi fluid near Pomeranchuk instabilities. We show that the general phase diagram of this theory contains a bicritical point where two second…
Competing scenarios for quantum critical points (QCPs) of strongly interacting Fermi systems signaled by a divergent density of states at zero temperature are contrasted. The conventional scenario, which enlists critical fluctuations of a…
We investigate the pairing physics in a three-component Fermi-Fermi mixture, where a few impurities are immersed in a non-interacting spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ Fermi gas with synthetic spin-orbit coupling (SOC), and interact attractively with one…
We consider pairing in a two-component atomic Fermi gas, in a three-dimensional optical lattice, when the components have unequal densities, i.e. the gas is polarized. We show that a superfluid where the translational symmetry is broken by…
We study the effect of competing interactions on ensemble inequivalence. We consider a one-dimensional Ising model with ferromagnetic mean-field interactions and short-range nearest-neighbor and next-nearest-neighbor couplings which can be…
We present a mean-field study of caloric effects driven by primary and secondary fields near tricritical points, which are fields thermodynamically conjugated to the main and secondary order parameters, respectively. General features, such…
We explore analytically the nature of the transition to the Fulde-Ferrel-Larkin-Ovchinnikov superfluid phases in the vicinity of the tricritical point, where these phases begin to appear. We make use of an expansion of the free energy up to…
We study the effects of dipole interaction on the superfluidity in a homogeneous Fermi gas with population imbalance. We show that the Larkin-Ovchinnikov-Fulde-Ferrell phase is replaced by another nonuniform superfluid phase, in which the…
The Landau Free Energy determines the landscape of order parameter fluctuations that occur in a physical system at thermal equilibrium and, in particular, characterizes the critical phenomena. We propose a semi-analytical approach based on…
Interacting fermions are ubiquitous in nature and understanding their thermodynamics is an important problem. We measure the equation of state of a two-component ultracold Fermi gas for a wide range of interaction strengths at low…
Ginzburg-Landau theory describes phase transitions as the competition between energy and entropy: The ordered phase has lower energy, while the disordered phase has larger entropy. When heating the system, ordering is reduced entropically…
We present a detailed analysis of the phase diagram of antiferromagnets with competing exchange-driven and field-induced order parameters. By using the quasi-1D antiferromagnet BaCu_2Si_2O_7 as a test case, we demonstrate that a model based…
In this paper, we employ a continuous Ginzburg-Landau model to study the behaviors of the parallel upper critical field of an intrinsically-layered superconductor. Near $T_c$ where the order parameter is nearly homogeneous, the parallel…
The spin-1 quantum Ising systems with three-spin interactions on two-dimensional triangular lattices are studied by mean-field method. The thermal variations of order parameters and phase diagrams are investigated in detail. The stable,…
We study the phase diagram of mass- and spin-imbalanced unitary Fermi gases, in search for the emergence of spatially inhomogeneous phases. To account for fluctuation effects beyond the mean-field approximation, we employ renormalization…
