We develop an effective medium theory for electromagnetic wave propagation through gapless non-uniform systems with dynamic chiral magnetic effect. The theory allows to calculate macroscopic-disorder-induced corrections to the values of…
We consider a model of the pseudogap specifically designed to describe the underdoped cuprates and which exhibits particle-hole asymmetry. The presence of electron pockets, besides the usual hole pockets, leads to the appearance of new…
The main features in iron-pnictide superconductors are summarized as (i) the orthorhombic transition accompanied by remarkable softening of shear modulus, (ii) high-Tc superconductivity close to the orthorhombic phase, and (iii) stripe-type…
We systematically studied in-plane optical conductivity of FeSe$_{1-x}$Te$_{x}$ thin films fabricated on CaF$_{2}$ substrates for $x$ = 0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.4. This system shows a large enhancement of superconducting transition temperature…
Fundamental electronic principles underlying all transition metal compounds are the symmetry and filling of the $d$-electron orbitals and the influence of this filling on structural configurations and responses. Here we use a sensitive…
We show that the presence of parity-odd terms in the conductivity (or, in other words, in the polarization tensor of Dirac quasiparticles in graphene) leads to rotation of polarization of the electromagnetic waves passing through suspended…
Using first-principles calculations, we systematically investigate the spin contributions to the inverse Faraday effect (IFE) in transition metals. The IFE depends on the d-electron filling and asymmetry between excited electron and hole…
High-temperature copper oxide superconductors (cuprates) display unconventional physics when they are lightly doped whereas the standard theory of metals prevails in the opposite regime. For example, the thermoelectric power, that is the…
Topological superconductors should be able to provide essential ingredients for quantum computing, but are very challenging to realize. Spin-orbit interaction in iron-based superconductors opens the energy gap between the $p$-states of…
We investigate the optical response of the silicene and similar materials, such as germanene, in the presence of an electrically tunable band gap for variable doping. The interplay of spin orbit coupling, due to the buckled structure of…
Electronic correlation effects are manifested in quantum materials when either the onsite Coulomb repulsion is large or the electron kinetic energy is small. The former is the dominant effect in the cuprate superconductors or heavy fermion…
We study the conductivity of graphene with a smooth but particle-hole-asymmetric disorder potential. Using perturbation theory for the weak-disorder regime and numerical calculations we investigate how the particle-hole asymmetry shifts the…
For sensitive optical interferometry, it is crucial to control the evolution of the optical path difference (OPD) of the wavefront between the individual telescopes of the array. The OPD between a pair of telescopes is induced by…
An investigation of possibilities for superconductivity mediated by spin fluctuations in some elementary metals is motivated by the recent discovery of superconductivity in the hcp high-pressure phase of iron. The electronic structure, the…
It is shown that a ferroelastic lattice distortion is associated with the superconducting transition both in low- and high-temperature superconductors. In layered tetragonal superconductors with a sufficiently high transition temperature, a…
The decoherence rate of a quantum dot coupled to a fluctuating environment described by a normal-metal superconductor junction is considered. The density-density correlator at low frequencies constitutes the kernel which enters the…
Combining strong electron correlations [1-4] and nontrivial electronic topology [5] holds great promise for discovery. So far, this regime has been rarely accessed and systematic studies are much needed to advance the field. Here we…
We study electron-electron Coulomb interactions in electronic systems whose Fermi surfaces possess a finite electric dipole density. Although there is no net dipole moment, we show that electric monopole-dipole interactions can become…
We study quantum coherence of elastically scattered lattice fermions. We calculate vertex corrections to the electrical conductivity of electrons scattered either on thermally equilibrated or statically distributed random impurities. We…
Adding a small subdominant quadratic in momentum term to a dominant linear Dirac dispersion curve affects conduction and valence band differently and leads to an hourglass-like structure for energy as a function of momentum. This applies to…
