"Complex Magnetic Phase Diagrams of Models for Iron Based Superconductors"


Elbio Dagotto , University of Tennessee/Oak Ridge National Laboratory
[Host: Despina Louca]
ABSTRACT:

This presentation will start with a brief introduction to iron-based
high temperature superconductors, emphasizing that these materials appear to
be located in an intermediate Hubbard coupling regime [1] which is difficult
to study with canonical analytical techniques. Moreover, competing
ferro- and antiferro-magnetic tendencies are present, leading to frustration.
For these reasons computational studies are important. After the introduction,  
and time allowing, I will focus on three main areas of recent active research:
(i) the widely discussed spin nematic state analyzed from the perspective
of the spin fermion model [2];
(ii) the several zero temperature competing magnetic states that appear
in quasi one-dimensional two-leg ladder geometries  [3];
(iii) the rich phase diagrams of multiorbital Hubbard models varying
couplings and temperatures from the perspective of a recently developed
technique that combines mean field and Monte Carlo aspects [4].
