MnGe has been reported as a candidate of three-dimensional (3D) skyrmion crystal in comparison to the two-dimensional (2D) skyrmion observed in most other B20 compounds like MnSi. In addition, the small-sized skyrmions in MnGe are desired properties for information storage. By performing the density functional theory (DFT) calculations and model simulations based on the DFT-informed tight-binding Hamiltonian, we explore the nature of the 3D skyrmion in MnGe. By invoking a dual nature of d-electrons on Mn atoms, we propose a strong-correlation derived spin-fermion model with an antiferromagnetic coupling between the localized and itinerant moments. This model could explain the drastic difference of magnetic moments between MnGe and MnSi compounds. In addition, we find that the 3D or 2D nature of skyrmions are dependent on the coupling strength.

A spin-fermion model that captures the charge-transfer properties of Cu-based high critical temperature superconductors is introduced and studied via Monte Carlo simulations. The strong Coulomb repulsion among $d$-electrons in the Cu orbitals is phen
omenologically replaced by an exchange coupling between the spins of the itinerant electrons and localized spins at the Cu sites, formally similar to double-exchange models for manganites. This interaction induces a charge-transfer insulator gap in the undoped case (five electrons per unit cell). Adding a small antiferromagnetic Heisenberg coupling between localized spins reinforces the global tendency towards antiferromagnetic order. To perform numerical calculations the localized spins are considered classical, as in previous related efforts. In this first study, undoped and doped $8times 8$ clusters are analyzed in a wide range of temperatures. The numerical results reproduce experimental features in the one-particle spectral function and the density-of-states such as $(i)$ the formation of a Zhang-Rice-like band with a dispersion of order $sim 0.5$ eV and with rotational symmetry about wavevector $(pi/2,pi/2)$ at the top of the band, and $(ii)$ the opening of a pseudogap at the chemical potential upon doping. We also observed incipient tendencies towards spin incommensurability. This simple model offers a formalism intermediate between standard mean-field approximations, that fail at finite temperatures in regimes with short-range order, and sophisticated many-body techniques such as Quantum Monte Carlo, that suffer sign problems.
A link is established between the spin-fermion (SF) model of the cuprates and the approach based on the analogy between the physics of doped Mott insulators in two dimensions and the physics of fermionic ladders. This enables one to use nonperturbati
ve results derived for fermionic ladders to move beyond the large-N approximation in the SF model. It is shown that the paramagnon exchange postulated in the SF model has exactly the right form to facilitate the emergence of the fully gapped d-Mott state in the region of the Brillouin zone at the hot spots of the Fermi surface. Hence the SF model provides an adequate description of the pseudogap.
We investigate charge transport within some background medium by means of an effective lattice model with a novel form of fermion-boson coupling. The bosons describe fluctuations of a correlated background. By analyzing groundstate and spectral prope
rties of this transport model, we show how a metal-insulator quantum phase transition can occur for the half-filled band case. We discuss the evolution of a mass-asymmetric band structure in the insulating phase and establish connections to the Mott and Peierls transition scenarios.
In the nested limit of the spin-fermion model for the cuprates, one-dimensional physics in the form of half-filled two-leg ladders emerges. We show that the renormalization group flow of the corresponding ladder is towards the d-Mott phase, a gapped
spin-liquid with short-ranged d-wave pairing correlations, and reveals an intermediate SO(5)$times$SO(3) symmetry. We use the results of the renormalization group in combination with a memory-function approach to calculate the optical conductivity of the spin-fermion model in the high-frequency regime, where processes within the hot spot region dominate the transport. We argue that umklapp processes play a major role. For finite temperatures, we determine the resistivity in the zero-frequency (dc) limit. Our results show an approximate linear temperature dependence of the resistivity and a conductivity that follows a non-universal power law. A comparison to experimental data supports our assumption that the conductivity is dominated by the antinodal contribution above the pseudogap.
Using high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission, we observe a strong spin-dependent renormalization and lifetime broadening of the quasiparticle excitations in the electronic band structure of Ni(111) in an energy window of $sim$0.3 eV below the F
ermi level. We derive a quantitative result for the spin-dependent lifetime broadening by comparing the scattering rates of majority and minority $d$ states, and further show that spin-dependent electron correlations are instead negligible for $sp$ states. From our analysis we experimentally determine the effective on-site Coulomb interaction $U$ caused by Stoner-like interband transitions between majority and minority $d$ states. The present results unambiguously demonstrate the remarkable impact of spin-dependent electron correlation effects originating from single-particle excitations in a prototypical 3$d$ transition metal, paving the way for further refinement of current many-body theoretical approaches.
