Starting from a multiband Hamiltonian containing the relevant Ni and O orbitals, we derive an effective Hamiltonian $H_{eff}$ for the low energy physics of doped Y$_{2}$BaNiO$_{5}.$ For hole doping, $H_{eff}$ describes O fermions…
Current theories of nanochannel flow impose no upper bound on flow rates, and predict friction through nanochannels can be vanishingly small. We reassess neglecting channel entry effects in extremely long channels and find violations at the…
Structure of the spin-orbit coupling varies from material to material and thus finding the correct spin-orbit coupling structure is an important step towards advanced spintronic applications. We show theoretically that the curvature in a…
$R_2BaNiO_5$ ($R=$ rare earth) quasi-1-D antiferromagnets are structurally equivalent to the well-studied 1-D S=1 Haldane-gap compound Y_2BaNiO_5. Unlike the Y-nickelate though, these materials undergo 3-D magnetic ordering at finite…
We examine a chain of periodic arrays of 4 quantum spins with magnitudes of 1/2, 1, 3/2 and 1. There are four kinds of nearest-neighbour exchange parameters among them. We choose two independent parameters for concreteness: one represents…
Spin gaps in coupled $t$-$J$ ladders are investigated by exact diagonalization of small clusters up to 4$\times$8 sites. At half-filling, the numerical results for the triplet excitation spectrum are in very good agreement with a second…
We review field theoretical studies dedicated to understanding the effects of electron-electron interaction in graphene, which is characterized by gapless bands, strong electron-electron interactions, and emerging Lorentz invariance deep in…
We review recent advances on the theory of spin qubits in nanostructures. We focus on four selected topics. First, we show how to form spin qubits in the new and promising material graphene. Afterwards, we discuss spin relaxation and…
Magnetic excitations in the quasi-one-dimensional antiferromagnet IPA-CuCl3 are studied by cold neutron inelastic scattering. Strongly dispersive gap excitations are observed. Contrary to previously proposed models, the system is best…
We consider a spin-1/2 ladder with a ferromagnetic rung coupling J_\perp and inequivalent chains. This model is obtained by a twist (\theta) deformation of the ladder and interpolates between the isotropic ladder (\theta=0) and the SU(2)…
We construct a physically realistic and analytically tractable model for spin-1 systems with orbital degeneracy on the honeycomb lattice, relevant to honeycomb materials with large Hund's and weak spin-orbit couplings, and two electrons in…
We use the matrix product approach to construct all optimum ground states of general anisotropic spin-2 chains with nearest neighbour interactions and common symmetries. These states are exact ground states of the model and their properties…
We describe a broadly-applicable theory of spin relaxation in materials with incoherent charge transport; examples include amorphous inorganic semiconductors, organic semiconductors, quantum dot arrays, and systems displaying…
In metallic systems with spin-orbit coupling a longitudinal charge current may generate a transverse pure spin current; vice-versa an injected pure spin current may result in a transverse charge current. Such direct and inverse spin Hall…
We study the origin of spin-gap in recently discovered material CaV$_4$O$_9$. We analyze the spin-$1/2$ Heisenberg model on the $1/5$ depleted square lattice with nearest neighbor (nn) and next nearest neighbor (nnn) interactions, in terms…
Semiconductors with strong spin-orbit interactions can exhibit a helical gap with spin-momentum locking opened by a magnetic field. Such a gap is highly spin selective as a result of a topologically protected spin-momentum locking, which…
Nonlinear spintronics, which combines nonlinear dynamics and spintronics, opens a new route for controlling spins and spin dynamics beyond conventional spintronics based on linear responses. Strongly correlated electron systems, which can…
The unusual electronic properties of the quantum spin Hall or Chern insulator become manifest in the form of robust edge states when samples with boundaries are studied. In this work, we ask if and how the topologically non-trivial…
Nanographene triangulenes with a S = 1 ground state have been used as building blocks of antiferromagnetic Haldane spin chains realizing a symmetry protected topological phase. By means of inelastic electron spectroscopy, it was found that…
Zigzag nanoribbons of monolayer graphene-like two-dimensional materials host spontaneous edge magnetism at the zigzag terminations, whose configuration controls the band gap. In this article, the edge magnetism of zigzag nanoribbons of…
