  • Doping-dependent orbital magnetism in Chromium pnictides

  • Interlayer interactions in La3Ni2 O7 under pressure: From s± to dxy -wave superconductivity
    Lauro B. Braz, George B. Martins, Luis G. G. V. Dias da Silva
    Physical Review Research, 2025
    We investigate the role of interaction terms in the competition between different superconducting gap symmetries in the bilayer nickelate La3Ni2O7 under high pressure. We study a two-layer, two-orbital electron model that encompasses both intra- and interlayer Coulomb interaction terms within the matrix random-phase approximation. We find that interlayer interactions favor a dxy-wave superconducting pairing symmetry over the s±-wave symmetry, which has been found to prevail when interlayer interactions are disregarded. Moreover, our findings indicate that interlayer interactions enhance the interorbital pairing, incorporating contributions from all three electron pockets, arising from both d3z2−r2 and dx2−y2 orbital characters, resulting in nodes within the gap function (not present in the s±-wave state) and consequently favoring the dxy-wave pairing.
  • Competing magnetic states on the surface of multilayer ABC-stacked graphene
    Lauro B. Braz, Tanay Nag, Annica M. Black-Schaffer
    Physical Review B, 2024
    We study interaction-mediated magnetism on the surface of ABC-multilayer graphene driven by its zero-energy topological flat bands. Using the random-phase approximation, we treat onsite Hubbard repulsion and find multiple competing magnetic states, due to both intra- and intervalley scattering, with the latter causing an enlarged magnetic unit cell. At half-filling and when the Hubbard repulsion is weak, we observe two different ferromagnetic orders. Once the Hubbard repulsion becomes more realistic, new ferrimagnetic orders arise with distinct incommensurate intra- or intervalley scattering vectors depending on interaction strength and doping, leading to a multitude of competing magnetic states.
