We study the spin edge states, induced by the combined effect of Bychkov-Rashba spin-orbit, Zeeman interactions and inhomogeneous magnetic field, exposed perpendicularly to two-dimensional electron systems. We calculate analytically the…
We investigate the magnetic excitation spectrum in the helical state of a noncentrosymmetric superconductor with inversion symmetry breaking and strong Rashba spin-orbit coupling. For this purpose, we derive the general expressions of the…
Spin-orbital liquids are quantum disordered states in systems with entangled spin and orbital degrees of freedom. We study exactly solvable spin-orbital models in two dimensions with selected Heisenberg-, Kitaev-, and $\Gamma$-type…
Metastable states with surprising properties abound in Hilbert space. We study unfrustrated isotropic spin-\half Heisenberg models in honeycomb lattice and find emergence of \textit{metastable Kitaev spin liquids having a 2-spin nematic…
Quantum spin liquids are a new class of magnetic ground state in which spins are quantum mechanically entangled over macroscopic scales. Motivated by recent advances in the control of polar molecules, we show that dipolar interactions…
We report on localized patches of cellular hexagons observed on the surface of a magnetic fluid in a vertical magnetic field. These patches are spontaneously generated by jumping into the neighborhood of the unstable branch of the domain…
The Dirac spin liquid ground state of the spin 1/2 Heisenberg kagome antiferromagnet has potential instabilities[1-4]. This has been suggested as the reason why it is not strongly supported in large-scale numerical calculations[5]. However,…
Spin states and persistent currents are investigated theoretically in a mesoscopic ring with an embedded magnetic ion under a uniform magnetic field including the spin-orbit interactions. The magnetic impurity acts as a spin-dependent…
We theoretically obtain the phase diagram of localized magnetic impurity spins arranged in a one-dimensional chain on top of a one- or two-dimensional electron gas with Rashba spin-orbit coupling. The interactions between the spins are…
Disordered magnetic states known as spin liquids are of paramount importance in both fundamental and applied science. A classical state of this kind was predicted for the Ising antiferromagnetic triangular model more than half a century…
We study the ground-state properties of a spin-1 Heisenberg model on a square lattice with the first- and second-nearest-neighbor antiferromagnetic couplings $J_1$ and $J_2$ and a three-spin scalar chirality term $J_\chi$. Using the density…
We study a class of disordered continuous classical spin systems including the kagome Heisenberg magnet. While each term in its local Hamiltonian can be independently minimised, we find {\it discrete} degenerate ground states whose number…
We consider a helical system of fermions with a generic spin (or pseudospin) orbit coupling. Using the equation of motion approach for the single-particle distribution functions, and a mean-field decoupling of the higher order distribution…
Motivated by recent experiments on the itinerant helimagnet MnSi, we study general properties of helical spin crystals - magnetic structures obtained by superposing distinct spin spirals. An effective Landau description of helical spin…
The existance of a spin disordered ground state for the frustrated Quantum Heisenberg Antiferromagnet on a square lattice is reconsidered. It is argued that there is a unique action which is continuous through the whole phase diagram,…
Spin currents in a two dimensional electron gas with Rashba-type spin orbit coupling are derived from a spin connection. Using a functional integral method, we recover the result derived by Sinova {\em et al.}$[ \mathrm{Phys.Rev. Lett. 92,…
The cradle of quantum spin liquids, triangular antiferromagnets show strong proclivity to magnetic order and require deliberate tuning to stabilize a spin-liquid state. In this brief review, we juxtapose recent theoretical developments that…
The orientation of the local electron spin quantization axis in momentum space is identified as the most significant physical variable in determining the states of a two-dimensional electron liquid in the presence of Rashba spin-orbit…
We propose a critical spin liquid ground state for S=1/2 antiferromagnets on the square lattice. In a renormalization group analysis of the `staggered flux' algebraic spin liquid, we examine perturbations, present in the antiferromagnet,…
We present a holographic perspective on magnetic oscillations in strongly correlated electron systems via a fluid of charged spin 1/2 particles outside a black brane in an asymptotically anti-de-Sitter spacetime. The resulting back-reaction…
