The behavior of matter near a quantum critical point (QCP) is one of the most exciting and challenging areas of physics research. Emergent phenomena such as high-temperature superconductivity are linked to the proximity to a QCP. Although…
The observation of metallic ground states in a variety of two-dimensional electronic systems poses a fundamental challenge for the theory of electron fluids. Here, we analyze evidence for the existence of a regime, which we call the…
Quantum phase transitions have captured the interest of a large community in condensed-matter and atom physics research. The common feature of these very different material classes lies in the fact that the competition between low-energy…
A very fundamental property of both weakly and strongly interacting materials is the nature of its magnetic response. In this work we detail the growth of crystals of the quasicrystal approximant Fe$_4$Al$_{13}$ with an Al flux solvent…
First-principles calculations are performed to investigate the electronic states of 1/1 and 2/1 approximants with the composition Al$_{15}$Zn$_{40}$Mg$_{45}$ which is close to the quasicrystal (QC) Al$_{14.9}$Zn$_{41.0}$Mg$_{44.1}$ in which…
Anderson localization physics features three fundamental types of eigenstates: extended, localized, and critical, with the third one exhibiting the exotic properties in-between the former two. Confirming the presence of critical states is…
Superconductivity owes its properties to the phase of the electron pair condensate that breaks the $U(1)$ symmetry. In the most traditional ground state, the phase is uniform and rigid. The normal state can be unstable towards special…
Growth and structures of crystals in the model of Al obtained in results of isothermal annealing after quick cooling to certain temperatures are studied by the method of molecular dynamics applying the known potential of EAM type. The…
Quasicrystals exhibit superconductivity under the unique interplay of long-range order and strong inhomogeneity, distinguishing them from both crystalline and amorphous systems. Understanding how this structural complexity affects…
We show that electronic materials with disallowed rotational symmetries that enforce quasiperiodic order can exhibit quantum oscillations and that these are generically associated with exotic "spiral Fermi surfaces." These Fermi surfaces…
The electronic properties of solids are determined by the crystal structure and interactions between electrons, giving rise to a variety of collective phenomena including superconductivity, strange metals and correlated insulators. The…
Liquids crystallize as they cool; however, when crystallization is avoided in some way, they supercool, maintaining their liquidity, and freezing into glass at low temperatures, as ubiquitously observed. These metastable states crystallize…
A material's electronic topology, which is generally described via its Bloch states and the associated bandstructure, will be enriched by the presence of interactions. In metallic settings, the interactions are usually treated through the…
e have investigated the magnetic properties of YbRu$_{2}$Ge$_{2}$ by means of magnetic susceptibility $\chi$(T), specific heat C(T) and electrical resistivity $\rho$(T) measurements performed on flux grown single crystals. The Curie-Weiss…
Deterministic quasiperiodicity in quantum systems has long been associated with localization, criticality, or glassy behavior, and has therefore been believed to suppress long-range order rather than stabilize it. Here we demonstrate the…
The discovery of superconductivity at 200 K in the hydrogen sulfide system at large pressures [1] was a clear demonstration that hydrogen-rich materials can be high-temperature superconductors. The recent synthesis of LaH$_{10}$ with a…
Extended and critical states are two common phenomena in Fibonacci quasicrystals. In this paper, we first reveal the difference between the extended phase and the critical phase in the extended-critical Fibonacci quasicrystal from the…
Periodic configurations have dominated the design of phononic and elastic-acoustic metamaterial structures for the past decades. Unlike periodic crystals, quasicrystals lack translational symmetry but are unrestricted in rotational…
Beyond the quantum limit, many-body effects are expected to induce unusual electronic phase transitions. Materials possessing metallic ground states with strong interactions between localized and itinerant electronic states are natural…
Superconductivity and nontrivial topology are highly sought-after phenomena in quantum materials. While many topological crystalline materials have been found to exhibit superconductivity, their presence in quasicrystals - materials with a…
