The long-range forces between holes in an antiferromagnet are due to magnon exchange. The one-magnon exchange potential between two holes is proportional to cos(2 ϕ)/<Emphasis Type="Bold">r <Superscript>2</Superscript> where <Emphasis Type="Bold">r is the distance vector of the holes and ϕ is the angle between <Emphasis Type="Bold">r and an axis of the square crystal lattice....</emphasis></emphasis></superscript></emphasis>

In this paper we study the ground state phase diagram of a one-dimensional t-J-U model away from half-filling. In the large-bandwidth limit and for ferromagnetic exchange with easy-plane anisotropy a phase with gapless charge and massive spin excitations, characterized by the coexistence of...

An model of La<Subscript>2-x</Subscript>Sr<Subscript>x</Subscript>CuO<Subscript>4</Sub script> explaining the features of incommensurate spin textures without any assumption of stripe formation is proposed. The foundations of this model are the mechanism of negative-U center formation proposed earlier and the concept of specific ordering of doped ions. It is shown...<//sub></subscript></subscript></subscript>

We propose a mechanism of superconductivity in which the order of the ground state does not arise from the usual Landau mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking but is rather of topological origin. The low-energy effective theory is formulated in terms of emerging gauge fields rather than a...
