Summary: This study investigates the relationship between electron-phonon interactions and charge-density-wave order in the bismuthate family of high-temperature superconductors. The results demonstrate that coupling to the bond-stretching modes is sufficient to reproduce the CDW transition in this system, despite a relatively small coupling. Additionally, the transition deviates from the weak-coupling Peierls' picture. This work highlights the importance of off-diagonal e-ph interactions in establishing the bismuthate phase diagram.

Summary: The study discovered a new fermionic quadrupling condensate that breaks the Z(2) time-reversal symmetry. By detecting the specific heat, researchers found specific anomalies above the superconducting critical temperature, which are associated with the broken time-reversal symmetry.

Summary: In this study, the dimerized chain system Na2Cu2TeO6 with d(9) electronic configuration was systematically investigated using density functional theory and density-matrix renormalization-group methods. The size and sign of the exchange interactions in Na2Cu2TeO6 were explained, and both AFM and FM couplings were found. The study also predicted the presence of pairing tendencies.

Summary: The phase equilibria of the PbO-CuO0.5 and PbO-CuO0.5-FeO1.5 slag systems in equilibrium with solid metallic copper and/or liquid metallic lead-copper alloy were studied. The compositions in the liquid slag, solid oxide, and metallic phases were directly measured. Phase equilibria data on several primary phases were obtained, and it was discovered that the copper plumbite phase melted incongruently contradicting previous studies.

Summary: The Hubbard model of attractively interacting fermions is used to study fermion pairing. In this model, a crossover between tightly bound pairs and long-range Cooper pairs occurs, with a pseudo-gap region above the superfluid critical temperature. By directly observing a Hubbard lattice gas of fermionic potassium-40 atoms under a bilayer microscope, the nonlocal nature of fermion pairing is revealed. The study also provides insights into the pseudo-gap behavior in strongly correlated fermion systems.

Summary: The study reports the discovery of an unprecedented vacancy state forming an extended buckled-honeycomb-vacancy (BHV) ordering in Ir16Sb18, which leads to superconductivity by suppressing the BHV ordering. Further theoretical calculations suggest that the buckled structure breaks the crystal inversion symmetry and can mostly suppress the density of states near the Fermi level.

Summary: This research utilizes neutron diffraction to elucidate the exact nature of the previously unknown antiferromagnetic ground state of KMn6Bi5 and discovers transverse incommensurate spin density waves for the Mn atoms. The study also reveals a strong real space coupling between charge density waves and spin density waves, and observes a significant magnetoelastic effect during the antiferromagnetic transition.

Summary: Using ab initio approaches, we found that the coupling of extended Hubbard interactions to phonons and the intersite Coulomb interaction play important roles in determining the distinctive phases of charge-ordered materials Ba1-xKxAO3 (A = Bi and Sb). By including self-consistently obtained nearest neighbor Hubbard interactions, we were able to account for various experiment features such as breathing instabilities, anomalous phonon dispersions, and the transition between charge-density wave and superconducting states, providing a minimal criterion for reliable descriptions of spontaneous charge orders in solids.

Summary: The one-dimensional antiferromagnetic correlated electron system described by the unusual t-U-J model with alternating on-site interactions at odd and even sites exhibits insulating behavior due to unequal on-site repulsion. Depending on the value of Ue+Uo in relation to 2J, the system can be in a spin-gapped phase with charge-density-wave instability or a spin-gapless phase with coexisting CDW and SDW instabilities.

Summary: Ferromagnetism has been reported in the thiospinel compound CuCo2S4 with T-c around 125 K, showing metallic conductivity and positive magnetoresistance at high temperature. The electronic band structure calculated using DFT confirms a ferromagnetic metallic state, in line with experimental observations. Nickel-doped CuCo2S4 displays paramagnetism, suggesting sensitivity of exchange interactions to electron/hole doping in itinerant magnetic sulfides.

Summary: The limitations of the two-particle self-consistent approach (TPSC) are addressed in this paper, and improved approaches, TPSC+ and TPSC+SFM, are proposed. The study shows that these improved methods are valid in the renormalized classical regime of the two-dimensional Hubbard model and recover certain criteria. However, the TPSC+ approach still violates the f-sum rule and conservation laws, which are solved within the TPSC+SFM framework.

Summary: The study compares the properties of nickelate and cuprate compounds, finding that they exhibit antiferromagnetic and superconducting behavior, respectively, under stoichiometric conditions. The results also suggest that nickelate superconductivity is similar to cuprate superconductivity but requires a higher level of doping.

Summary: Quantum phase transitions in quantum magnets are an important field of study, and a faithful fermionic description can make spin models more tractable and provide more transparent physical pictures. This study applies the Chern-Simons fermionization method to XXZ quantum magnets and discovers an interesting phase transition between Chern-Simons superconductor and Chern-Simons exciton insulator due to additional fermion-fermion interaction. The study also finds the corresponding quantum phase transition in the spin picture and provides further support with density matrix renormalization group calculations.

Summary: We conducted NMR experiments on heavily electron-doped Fe-based superconductors and compared the results with the parent Fe-based compounds. The presence of AFM1 order was found to be universal in most parent Fe-based compounds, while static AFM2 order was absent but dynamic low-energy AFM spin fluctuations were enhanced at certain doping levels. Additionally, moderate spin fluctuations were observed at high temperatures in heavily electron-doped compounds. The study discussed the universality and diversity of the relationship between Tc and spin fluctuations characteristics in Fe-based compounds from a microscopic perspective of NMR measurements.
