Quantum critical points separating weak ferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases trigger many novel phenomena. Dynamical spin fluctuations not only suppress the long-range order, but can also lead to unusual transport and even…

The value of the upper critical field Hc2, a fundamental characteristic of the superconducting state, has been subject to strong controversy in high-Tc copper-oxides. Since the issue has been tackled almost exclusively by macroscopic…

We report on a member of the spin-disordered honeycomb lattice antiferromagnet in a quasi-one-dimensional cobaltate Ba_3Co_2O_6(CO_3)_0.7. Resistivity exhibits as semimetallic along the face-sharing CoO6 chains. Magnetic susceptibility…

To get insight into the mechanism of emergence of unconventional quantum criticality observed in quasicrystal Yb$_{15}$Al$_{34}$Au$_{51}$, the approximant crystal Yb$_{14}$Al$_{35}$Au$_{51}$ is analyzed theoretically. By constructing a…

Results of the first principles study on the electronic structure and magnetism of the superconducting weak ferromagnet Y$_4$Co$_3$, are presented. Using the full potential Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker (FP-KKR) method, densities of states,…

We propose a new efficient scheme for the quantum Monte Carlo study of quantum critical phenomena in quantum spin systems. Rieger and Young's Trotter-number-dependent finite-size scaling in quantum spin systems and Ito {\it et al.}'s…

We consider the effects of weak measurements on the quantum critical ground state of the one-dimensional (a) tricritical and (b) critical quantum Ising model, by measuring in (a) the local energy and in (b) the local spin operator in a…

Here we provide the first clear evidence of Fermi-liquid breakdown in an intermediate valence system. We employ high precision magnetization measurements of the valence fluctuating superconductor beta-YbAlB4 to probe the quantum critical…

Some quantum critical states cannot be smoothly deformed into each other without either crossing some multicritical points or explicitly breaking certain symmetries even if they belong to the same universality class. This brings up the…

The search for quantum spin liquids (QSL) and chemical doping in such materials to explore superconductivity have continuously attracted intense interest. Here, we report the discovery of a potential QSL candidate, pyrochlore-lattice…

The occurrence of high-T_c superconductivity in systems including the cuprates and the iron-based superconductors, is known to coincide with the existence of anomalous normal-state properties which have been associated with quantum…

The presence of a non-centrosymmetric crystal structure and in-plane mirror symmetry allows an Ising spin-orbit coupling to form in some two-dimensional materials. Examples include transition metal dichalcogenide superconductors like…

Quantum criticality has been considered to be specific to crystalline materials such as heavy fermions. Very recently, however, the Tsai-type quasicrystal Au51Al34Yb15 has been reported to show unusual quantum critical behavior. To obtain a…

Quantum bits (qubits) are the basic building blocks of any quantum computer. Superconducting qubits have been created with a 'top-down' approach that integrates superconducting devices into macroscopic electrical circuits [1-3], whereas…

The three-dimensional $S = {\frac{1}{2}}$ system Y$_{3}$Cu$_{2}$Sb$_{3}$O$_{14}$ consists of two inequivalent Cu$^{2+}$ sites, each forming an edge shared triangular lattice. Our magnetic susceptibility $\chi(T)$, specific heat $C_p(T)$,…

We apply density functional theory band structure calculations, the coupled-cluster method, and exact diagonalization to investigate the microscopic magnetic model of the spin-1/2 compound Cu2GeO4. The model is quasi-two-dimensional, with…

Recent experiments on Ce$_2$Zr$_2$O$_7$ suggest that this material may host a novel form of quantum spin ice, a three-dimensional quantum spin liquid with an emergent photon. The Ce$^{3+}$ local moments on the pyrochlore lattice are…

We take a two-step theoretical approach to study magnetism of rare earth quasicrystals by considering Ising spins on quasiperiodic tilings, coupled via RKKY interactions. First, we compute RKKY interactions from a tight-binding Hamiltonian…

We investigate the phase structure of four-dimensional quantum gravity coupled to Ising spins or Gaussian scalar fields by means of numerical simulations. The quantum gravity part is modelled by the summation over random simplicial…

Magnetic fluctuations and electrons couple in intriguing ways in the vicinity of zero temperature phase transitions - quantum critical points - in conducting materials. Quantum criticality is implicated in non-Fermi liquid behavior of…
