Unconventional superconductivity is often referred to as originating from a pairing mechanism different from electron-phonon interactions and connected to an anisotropic superconducting order parameter with sign change of the Cooper pair wavefunction. A common microscopic mechanism discussed in view of high temperature superconductors is the spin-fluctuation mediated pairing where the...
In condensed matter physics, designing and understanding quantum materials has been the key to searching for emergent behavior and phases of matter and opening a pathway to use them for energy relevant technologies [1]. In the context of correlated quantum materials often hosting 4f and 5f electrons [2,3], a variety of intriguing physical phenomena appear and attract great attention due to an...
Chirality — the geometric property defining the handedness of an object — is a fundamental concept with broad relevance across scientific disciplines. Recent advances have highlighted the pivotal role of chirality in condensed matter physics, particularly through the emergence of chiral phonons: vibrational excitations that carry angular momentum. These quasiparticles are of great interest due...
