We study a quenched disordered d=3 tJ Hamiltonian with static vacancies as a model of nonmagnetic impurities in high-Tc materials. Using a position-space renormalization-group approach, we calculate the evolution of the finite-temperature phase diagram with impurity concentration p, and find several features with close experimental parallels: away from half-filling we see the rapid destruction of a spin-singlet phase (analogous to the superconducting phase in cuprates) which is eliminated for p > 0.05; in the same region for these dilute impurity concentrations we observe an enhancement of antiferromagnetism. The antiferromagnetic phase near half-filling is robust against impurity addition, and disappears only for p > 0.40.

The finite-temperature phase diagram of the Hubbard model in $d=3$ is obtained from renormalization-group analysis. It exhibits, around half filling, an antiferromagnetic phase and, between 30%--40% electron or hole doping from half filling, a new $t au $ phase in which the electron hopping strength $t$ asymptotically becomes infinite under repeated rescalings. Next to the $tau $ phase, a first-order phase boundary with very narrow phase separation (less than 2% jump in electron density) occurs. At temperatures above the $tau $ phase, an incommensurate spin modulation phase is indicated. In $d=2$, we find that the Hubbard model has no phase transition at finite temperature.
The simultaneous interplay of strong electron-electron correlations, topological zero-energy states, and disorder is yet an unexplored territory but of immense interest due to their inevitable presence in many materials. Copper oxide high-temperature superconductors (cuprates) with pair breaking edges host a flat band of topological zero-energy states, making them an ideal playground where strong correlations, topology, and disorder are strongly intertwined. Here we show that this interplay in cuprates generates a new phase of matter: a fully gapped phase crystal state that breaks both translational and time reversal invariance, characterized by a modulation of the $d$-wave superconducting phase co-existing with a modulating extended $s$-wave superconducting order. In contrast to conventional wisdom, we find that this phase crystal state is remarkably robust to omnipresent disorder, but only in the presence of strong correlations, thus giving a clear route to its experimental realization.

We consider a trapped Fermi gas with population imbalance at finite temperatures and map out the detailed phase diagram across a wide Feshbach resonance. We take the Larkin-Ovchinnikov-Fulde-Ferrel (LOFF) state into consideration and minimize the the rmodynamical potential to ensure stability. Under the local density approximation, we conclude that a stable LOFF state is present only on the BCS side of the Feshbach resonance, but not on the BEC side or at unitarity. Furthermore, even on the BCS side, a LOFF state is restricted at low temperatures and in a small region of the trap, which makes a direct observation of LOFF state a challenging task.

We report a density functional theory plus dynamical mean field theory (DFT+DMFT) study of an oxide heterostructure of LaNiO$_3$ (LNO) bilayers in [111] direction interleaved with four atomic monolayers of LaAlO$_3$. DFT+$U$ optimizations yield two s table solutions: a uniform structure with equivalent NiO$_6$ octahedra, as well as a bond-disproportionated (BD) structure featuring a breathing distortion. For both structures, we construct the low-energy models describing the Ni $e_g$ states by means of Wannier projections supplemented by the Kanamori interaction, and solve them by DMFT. Using the continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo algorithm in the hybridization expansion, we study the temperature range between 145 and 450 K. For the uniform and the BD structure, we find similar phase diagrams that comprise four phases: a ferromagnetic metal (FM), a paramagnetic metal (PM), an antiferro-orbitally-ordered insulator (AOI), as well as a paramagnetic insulator (PI). By calculating momentum-resolved spectral functions on a torus and a cylinder, we demonstrate that the FM phase is not a Dirac metal, while both insulating phases are topologically trivial. By a comparison with available experimental data and model DMFT studies for the two-orbital Hubbard model, we suggest that LNO bilayers are in the AOI phase at room temperature.
We study the effects of bond and site disorder in the classical $J_{1}$-$J_{2}$ Heisenberg model on a square lattice in the order-by-disorder frustrated regime $2J_{2}>left|J_{1}right|$. Combining symmetry arguments, numerical energy minimization and large scale Monte Carlo simulations, we establish that the finite temperature Ising-like transition of the clean system is destroyed in the presence of any finite concentration of impurities. We explain this finding via a random-field mechanism which generically emerges in systems where disorder locally breaks the same real-space symmetry spontaneously globally broken by the associated order parameter. We also determine that the phase replacing the clean one is a paramagnet polarized in the nematic glass order with non-trivial magnetic response. This is because disorder also induces non-collinear spin-vortex-crystal order and produces a conjugated transverse dipolar random field. As a result of these many competing effects, the associated magnetic susceptibilities are non-monotonic functions of the temperature. As a further application of our methods, we show the generation of random axes in other frustrated magnets with broken SU(2) symmetry. We also discuss the generality of our findings and their relevance to experiments.
