Abstract

We investigate momentum-resolved quasiparticle interference (QPI) in a localized-itinerant antiferromagnet, where ordered local moments are exchange coupled to conduction electrons. Static antiferromagnetic order reconstructs the electronic bands, while one-magnon processes further dress the quasiparticles through a momentum- and frequency-dependent self-energy. Incorporating this dynamical renormalization directly into the Born impurity scattering, we find a characteristic crossover in the QPI spectrum. Below the lower magnon-emission edge, the modification is predominantly dispersive and governed by the real part of the self-energy, whereas above this scale its imaginary part produces pronounced broadening and redistribution of the scattering intensity. The dynamical response persists beyond the upper magnon energy and is strongly asymmetric in tunneling bias for a particle--hole-asymmetric band. These results show that Fourier-transform tunneling spectroscopy can distinguish static magnetic reconstruction from dynamical spin-wave renormalization.

Magnon-Phonon Localization and Quasielastic Spectral Response in Quasi-One-Dimensional Heisenberg Ferromagnets

Localized soliton excitations in a quasi-one-dimensional isotropic Heisenberg ferromagnet are investigated by explicitly accounting for coupling between the magnetic subsystem and longitudinal lattice vibrations. In the low-temperature regime, spin operators are bosonized using the Holstein-Primakoff transformation. In...

Heavy-fermion hybridization waves from Dirac spinons near a Kondo-breakdown quantum phase transition

Motivated by the recent observation of spatially modulated screening in different paramagnetic heavy-fermion materials, we propose a theoretical mechanism for the emergence of such hybridization waves in frustrated Kondo lattices with no magnetic order. By applying a parton mean-field theory and a perturbative calculat...

Highly anisotropic collective modes of altermagnetic superconductors with Bogoliubov Fermi surfaces

We investigate collective modes in charge-neutral altermagnetic superconductors with $d$-wave spin-split bands, focusing on the impact of emergent Bogoliubov Fermi surfaces. In the absence of a magnetic field, the BCS state supports collective modes that inherit the underlying $d$-wave symmetry, resulting in pronounced...

Static dipolar impurity in a Fermi gas

We consider a static dipolar impurity immersed in a Fermi gas and show how dipolar interactions shape both the few-body scattering properties and the resulting polaron physics. Using Fumi's theorem, we connect the anisotropic phase shifts directly to the ground-state energy, and compute the exact impurity spectrum via...

Effects of Nonmagnetic Impurities on Nonequilibrium Phase Transitions in Microwave-Driven Superconductors

We investigate the nonequilibrium steady states of a microwave-driven BCS superconductor in the presence of nonmagnetic impurity scattering and energy relaxation. Using the Floquet-Nambu-Keldysh Green's function method together with the self-consistent Born approximation, we self-consistently determine the superconduct...

Stimulation of superconductivity in $d$-wave superconductors

We study the stimulation of superconductivity by an external electromagnetic radiation --- the Eliashberg effect --- in a disordered $d$-wave superconductor. We use the self-consistent Keldysh--Nambu quasiclassical formalism augmented by an inelastic relaxation term to compute the static correction to the pairing ampli...
