Landau's theory of phase transitions is the cornerstone of our modern understanding of Condensed Matter Physics. The ability to characterize ordered states of matter, and their low-lying excitations, in terms of a local order parameter and the accompanying spontaneous symmetry breaking, is a very powerful and unifying idea. However, since the discovery of the quantum Hall effect, it was r…
The concepts of order, disorder, and spontaneous symmetry breaking - as initially formalized in Landau's seminal work on Phase Transitions - constitute the bases of our modern understanding of several exciting phenomena in Condensed Matter Physics. Recently, however, our view of these basic concepts was substantially expanded, primarily because of the frustrated magnets. Every day, novel …
Disorder is ubiquitous in solids. In magnets with localized spin moments, typical examples of disorder are missing or extra spins, arising, e.g., from chemical substitution. In this project, we study two classes of disordered magnets: with and without long range magnetic order. For magnets which display a ground state with long range magnetic order, we consider the effects of impurities, …
Geometric frustration is the impossibility of satisfying all local interactions simultaneously in local moments magnetic systems, and it gives rise to a large degeneracy of ground states. Even in the instances where the systems shows long-ranged magnetic order at low temperatures, the frustration fingerprints appear in different physical observables. A notorious example is the magnetizati…
Disorder is always present in solids. Typical examples of disorder in magnets described by local spin moments are the lack or presence of extra spins, caused, for example, by the intentional or unintentional chemical substitution of elements during the growth of the samples. In this project, we will study frustrated disordered spin-S antiferromagnets that, in their homogeneous limit, show…
The effects of frustration in magnetic systems with continuous symmetry lead to a large variety of physical phenomena, ranging from non-collinear magnetic order to the absence of long-range order. In this project, we will study how the competition between magnetic exchange couplings generates a phase transition at finite temperatures in two-dimensions. We are also interested in the fate o…
We will investigate in this project exotic phases of matter which emerge due to the combination of strong spin-orbit coupling and electronic correlations, giving raise the so-called spin-orbit Mott insulators. As systems of interest, we have in mind the materials alpha-RuCl3 e A2IrO3 (A=Na, Li), which are well described by the Heisenberg-Kitaev model. In particular, we shall study in furt…
