Liquids: Condensed, disordered, and sometimes complex

Models , and Disordered Condensed Matter Systems

Title of dissertation: DUALITY METHODS IN NETWORKS, COMPUTER SCIENCE MODELS, AND DISORDERED CONDENSED MATTER SYSTEMS Joe Mitchell, Doctor of Philosophy, 2014 Dissertation directed by: Dr. V. M. Galitski Department of Physics In this thesis, I explore lattice independent duality and systems to which it can be applied. I first demonstrate classical duality on models in an external field, includin...

Transition from simple to complex behavior of single molecule line shapes in disordered condensed phase

Mott Insulators, Spin Liquids and Quantum Disordered Superconductivity

These introductory lecture notes describe recent results on novel Mott insulating phases which are “descendents” of superconductors – obtained by “quantum disordering”. After a brief overview of quantum magnetism, attention is focussed on the spin – liquid phase of the two-leg Hubbard ladder and the nodal liquid – a descendent of the dx2−y2 superconductor. These notes are self-contained and an ...
