Aspects of unconventional density waves

چکیده
Recently many people discuss unconventional density waves (i.e. unconventional charge density waves (UCDW) and unconventional spin density waves (USDW)). Unlike in conventional density waves, the quasiparticle spectrum in these systems is gapless. Also these systems remain metallic. Indeed it appears that there are many candidates for UDW. The low temperature phase of α-(BEDT-TTF)2KHg(SCN)4, the antiferromagnetic phase in URu2Si2, the CDW in transition metal dichalcogenite NbSe2, the pseudogap phase in high Tc cuprate superconductors, the glassy phase in organic superconductor κ-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu[N(CN)2]Br. After a brief introduction on UCDW and USDW, we shall discuss some of the above systems, where we believe we have evidence for unconventional density waves.

Collective modes in unconventional density waves
– We have investigated the collective modes of unconventional charge and spin density waves (UCDW, USDW) in quasi-one dimensional systems in random phase approximation. The density correlator regains its normal state form due to the phase degree of freedom of the condensate. The possible effect of impurities is also discussed. From this, the currentcurrent correlation function is evaluated thro...
متن کاملMICROMAGNETISM IN URu2Si2 AND HIGH TEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTORS
It has been proposed, that unconventional density waves (UDW) are possible candidates for systems with hidden order parameter. Unlike in conventional density waves, no periodic modulation of either the charge-, or the spin-density is present in UDW, in spite of a clear thermodynamic signal. Although the unconventional spin density wave (USDW) has been suggested for the ”antiferromagnetic” phase...
متن کاملTheory of Coexisting Charge and Spin - Density Waves in s TMTTF d 2 Br , s TMTSF d 2 PF 6 , and a - s BEDT - TTF d 2 M Hg
Recent experiments indicate that the spin-density waves (SDWs) in sTMTTFd2Br, sTMTSFd2PF6, and a-sBEDT-TTFd2MHgsSCNd4 are highly unconventional and coexist with charge-density waves (CDWs). We present a microscopic theory of this unusual CDW-SDW coexistence. A complete understanding requires the explicit inclusion of strong Coulomb interactions, lattice discreteness, the anisotropic two-dimensi...
متن کاملRecent Advances in Unconventional Density Waves
Unconventional density wave (UDW) has been speculated as a possible electronic ground state in excitonic insulator in 1968. Recent surge of interest in UDW is partly due to the proposal that the pseudogap phase in high Tc cuprate superconductors is d-wave density wave (d-DW). Here we review our recent works on UDW within the framework of mean field theory. In particular we have shown that many ...
