Fermi-surface topology governs the relationship between magnetism and superconductivity in iron-based materials. Using low-temperature transport, angle-resolved photoemission, and x-ray diffraction we show unambiguous evidence of large Fermi surface reconstruction in CaFe$_{2}$As$_{2}$ at magnetic spin-density-wave and nonmagnetic collapsed-tetragonal ($cT$) transitions. For the $cT$ transition, the change in the Fermi surface topology has a different character with no contribution from the hole part of the Fermi surface. In addition, the results suggest that the pressure effect in CaFe$_{2}$As$_{2}$ is mainly leading to a rigid-band-like change of the valence electronic structure. We discuss these results and their implications for magnetism and superconductivity in this material.

The recent discovery and subsequent developments of FeAs-based superconductors have presented novel challenges and opportunities in the quest for superconducting mechanisms in correlated-electron systems. Central issues of ongoing studies include int erplay between superconductivity and magnetism as well as the nature of the pairing symmetry reflected in the superconducting energy gap. In the cuprate and RE(O,F)FeAs (RE = rare earth) systems, the superconducting phase appears without being accompanied by static magnetic order, except for narrow phase-separated regions at the border of phase boundaries. By muon spin relaxation measurements on single crystal specimens, here we show that superconductivity in the AFe$_{2}$As$_{2}$ (A = Ca,Ba,Sr) systems, in both the cases of composition and pressure tunings, coexists with a strong static magnetic order in a partial volume fraction. The superfluid response from the remaining paramagnetic volume fraction of (Ba$_{0.5}$K$_{0.5}$)Fe$_{2}$As$_{2}$ exhibits a nearly linear variation in T at low temperatures, suggesting an anisotropic energy gap with line nodes and/or multi-gap effects.
We use multi-scale techniques to determine the extent of local inhomogeneity and superconductivity in Ca$_{0.86}$Pr$_{0.14}$Fe$_{2}$As$_{2}$ single crystal. The inhomogeneity is manifested as a spatial variation of praseodymium concentration, local d ensity of states, and superconducting order parameter. We show that the high-$T_{c}$ superconductivity emerges from clover-like defects associated with Pr dopants. The highest $T_{c}$ is observed in both the tetragonal and collapsed tetragonal phases, and its filamentary nature is a consequence of non-uniform Pr distribution that develops localized, isolated superconducting regions within the crystals.
CaFe$_{2}$O$_{4}$ is an $S=5/2$ antiferromagnet exhibiting two magnetic orders which shows regions of coexistence at some temperatures. Using a Greens function formalism, we model neutron scattering data of the spin wave excitations in this material, ellucidating the microscopic spin Hamiltonian. In doing so, we suggest that the low temperature A phase order $(uparrowuparrowdownarrowdownarrow)$ finds its origins in the freezing of antiphase boundaries created by thermal fluctuations in a parent B phase order $(uparrowdownarrowuparrowdownarrow)$. The low temperature magnetic order observed in CaFe$_{2}$O$_{4}$ is thus the result of a competition between the exchange coupling along $c$, which favors the B phase, and the single-ion anisotropy which stabilizes thermally-generated antiphase boundaries, leading to static metastable A phase order at low temperatures.

Conventional, thermally-driven continuous phase transitions are described by universal critical behaviour that is independent of the specific microscopic details of a material. However, many current studies focus on materials that exhibit quantum-dri ven continuous phase transitions (quantum critical points, or QCPs) at absolute zero temperature. The classification of such QCPs and the question of whether they show universal behaviour remain open issues. Here we report measurements of heat capacity and de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) oscillations at low temperatures across a field-induced antiferromagnetic QCP (B$_{c0}simeq$ 50 T) in the heavy-fermion metal CeRhIn$_5$. A sharp, magnetic-field-induced change in Fermi surface is detected both in the dHvA effect and Hall resistivity at B$_0^*simeq$ 30 T, well inside the antiferromagnetic phase. Comparisons with band-structure calculations and properties of isostructural CeCoIn$_5$ suggest that the Fermi-surface change at B$_0^*$ is associated with a localized to itinerant transition of the Ce-4f electrons in CeRhIn$_5$. Taken in conjunction with pressure data, our results demonstrate that at least two distinct classes of QCP are observable in CeRhIn$_5$, a significant step towards the derivation of a universal phase diagram for QCPs.
One of the fundamental questions about the high temperature cuprate superconductors is the size of the Fermi surface (FS) underlying the superconducting state. By analyzing the single particle spectral function for the Fermi Hubbard model as a functi on of repulsion $U$ and chemical potential $mu$, we find that the Fermi surface in the normal state reconstructs from a large Fermi surface matching the Luttinger volume as expected in a Fermi liquid, to a Fermi surface that encloses fewer electrons that we dub the Luttinger Breaking (LB) phase, as the Mott insulator is approached. This transition into a non-Fermi liquid phase that violates the Luttinger count, is a continuous phase transition at a critical density in the absence of any other broken symmetry. We obtain the Fermi surface contour from the spectral weight $A_{vec{k}}(omega=0)$ and from an analysis of the poles and zeros of the retarded Greens function $G_{vec{k}}^{ret}(E=0)$, calculated using determinantal quantum Monte Carlo and analytic continuation methods.We discuss our numerical results in connection with experiments on Hall measurements, scanning tunneling spectroscopy and angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy.
