Direct coupling between gapless bosons and a Fermi surface results in the destruction of Landau quasiparticles and a breakdown of Fermi liquid theory. Such a non-Fermi liquid phase arises in spin-orbit coupled ferromagnets with spontaneously broken continuous symmetries due to strong coupling between rotational Goldstone modes and itinerant electrons. These systems provide an experimentally accessible context for studying non-Fermi liquid physics. Possible examples include low-density Rashba coupled electron gases, which have a natural tendency towards spontaneous ferromagnetism, or topological insulator surface states with proximity-induced ferromagnetism. Crucially, unlike the related case of a spontaneous nematic distortion of the Fermi surface, for which the non-Fermi liquid regime is expected to be masked by a superconducting dome, we show that the non-Fermi liquid phase in spin-orbit coupled ferromagnets is stable.

Non-Fermi liquid (NFL) physics can be realized in quantum dot devices where competing interactions frustrate the exact screening of dot spin or charge degrees of freedom. We show that a standard nanodevice architecture, involving a dot coupled to bot h a quantum box and metallic leads, can host an exotic SO(5) symmetry Kondo effect, with entangled dot and box charge and spin. This NFL state is surprisingly robust to breaking channel and spin symmetry, but destabilized by particle-hole asymmetry. By tuning gate voltages, the SO(5) state evolves continuously to a spin and then flavor two-channel Kondo state. The expected experimental conductance signatures are highlighted.
We report specific heat, resistivity and susceptibility measurements at different temperatures, magnetic fields, and pressures to provide solid evidence of CoS2 being a marginal Fermi liquid. The presence of a tricritical point in the phase diagram o f the system provides an opportunity to test the spin fluctuation theory with a high limit of accuracy. A magnetic field suppresses the amplitude of the spin fluctuations and recovers conventional Fermi liquid behavior, connecting both states continuously.

We investigate topological transport in a spin-orbit coupled bosonic Mott insulator. We show that interactions can lead to anomalous quasi-particle dynamics even when the spin-orbit coupling is abelian. To illustrate the latter, we consider the spin- orbit coupling realized in the experiment of Lin textit{et al}. [Nature (London) textbf{471}, 83 (2011)]. For this spin-orbit coupling, we compute the quasiparticle dispersions and spectral weights, the interaction-induced momentum space Berry curvature, and the momentum space distribution of spin density, and propose experimental signatures. Furthermore, we find that in our approximation for the single-particle propagator, the ground state can in principle support an integer Hall conductivity if the sum of the Chern numbers of the hole bands is nonzero.
A comprehensive understanding of spin-polarized photoemission is crucial for accessing the electronic structure of spin-orbit coupled materials. Yet, the impact of the final state in the photoemission process on the photoelectron spin has been diffic ult to assess in these systems. We present experiments for the spin-orbit split states in a Bi-Ag surface alloy showing that the alteration of the final state with energy may cause a complete reversal of the photoelectron spin polarization. We explain the effect on the basis of ab initio one-step photoemission theory and describe how it originates from linear dichroism in the angular distribution of photoelectrons. Our analysis shows that the modulated photoelectron spin polarization reflects the intrinsic spin density of the surface state being sampled differently depending on the final state, and it indicates linear dichroism as a natural probe of spin-orbit coupling at surfaces.

Spin-orbit coupling is an important ingredient in many spin liquid candidate materials, especially among the rare-earth magnets and Kitaev materials. We explore the rare-earth chalcogenides NaYbS$_2$ where the Yb$^{3+}$ ions form a perfect triangular lattice. Unlike its isostructural counterpart YbMgGaO$_4$ and the kagom{e} lattice herbertsmithite, this material does not have any site disorders both in magnetic and non-magnetic sites. We carried out the thermodynamic and inelastic neutron scattering measurements. The magnetic dynamics could be observed with a broad gapless excitation band up to 1.0 meV at 50 mK and 0 T, no static long-range magnetic ordering is detected down to 50 mK. We discuss the possibility of Dirac spin liquid for NaYbS$_2$. We identify the experimental signatures of field-induced transitions from the disordered spin liquid to an ordered antiferromagnet with an excitation gap at finite magnetic fields and discuss this result with our Monte Carlo calculation of the proposed spin model. Our findings could inspire further interests in the spin-orbit-coupled spin liquids and the magnetic ordering transition from them.
