| STRIPEX – Vplyv dynamických nábojových pásov na kvantové magnety a supravodiče v extrémnych podmienkach | |
| Influence of dynamic charge stripes on quantum magnets and superconductors in extreme conditions | |
| Program: | SRDA |
| Project leader: | doc. RNDr. Gabáni Slavomír, PhD. |
| Annotation: | The project is aimed at solving the urgent fundamental problem of the genesis of the so-called of dynamic charge stripes (DCS) – inhomogeneous distribution of conduction electron oscillations – and their influence on the properties of strongly correlated electron systems (SCES). The charge stripes play an important role in the high-temperature superconductivity (HTSC) of cuprates and also underlie the mechanisms responsible for the colossal magnetoresistance in manganites, cobaltites, iron-based HTSCs, etc. Observing directly the effect of DCS on the scattering of charge carriers in the mentioned SCES is very sophisticated due to their complex composition, low symmetry of the crystal structure and high sensitivity to external conditions. Instead, it is suitable to use model SCES. Such model materials are rare earth dodecaborides (RB12) with Jahn-Teller structural instability and electronic phase separation on the nanoscale range, in which the appearance of dynamic charge stripes was reliably determined for the first time both for superconductors (ZrB12, LuB12) and for quantum magnets (R = Ho, Er, Tm). The comprehensive study of DCS will be extended by additional model systems based on hexaborides (RB6) and frustrated quantum magnets based on rare earth tetraborides (RB4), and will includes the influence of external extreme conditions such as very low temperatures, high magnetic fields and pressures. |

| Teoretické štúdium kooperatívnych javov v silne korelovaných elektrónových a spinových systémoch | |
| Theoretical study of cooperative phenomena in strongly correlated electron and spin systems | |
| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | RNDr. Farkašovský Pavol, DrSc. |
| Annotation: | The proposed project is devoted to the theoretical study of cooperative phenomena in strongly correlated electron and spin systems. The special attention will be paid to specifying the key mechanisms which lead to formation and stabilization of inhomogeneous charge and spin ordering, superconductivity, itinerant ferromagnetism, ferroelectric and magnetocaloric phenomenon due to the big application potential of these phenomena and their possible coexistence. The study will be performed on comprehensive model, which will take into account all relevant interactions in rare-earth and transition metal compounds, where besides the spin-independent Coulomb interaction in d and f band also the spin dependent (double exchange) interaction between both bands will be included. For a solution of this model we plan to elaborate new numerical methods, which will be subsequently used in combination with standard methods of quantum statistical physics (DMRG and QMC) to study the above mentioned phenomena. |

| FRUSTKOM – Frustrované kovové magnetické systémy | |
| Frustrated metallic magnetic systems | |
| Program: | SRDA |
| Project leader: | doc. RNDr. Gabáni Slavomír, PhD. |
| Annotation: | The up to now experimental and theoretical studies of frustrated magnetic systems (FMS) has been concentrated mainly on dielectric systems. Such systems can be found in 2D and 3D lattices based on equilateral triangles, and in dielectrics the interaction between their spins can be relatively well defined and described. In metallic FMS (M-FMS), which have been much less studied, an important role plays the long-range indirect exchange interaction between the spins mediated by conduction electrons (the RKKY interaction). To the small number of up to now studied M-FMS belong also some rare earth metallic borides having a fcc (e.g.HoB12, ErB12) or Shastry-Sutherland (e.g.TmB4, HoB4, ErB4) structure. This project aims are to investigate experimentally the impact of high pressure (hydrostatic and uniaxial), the influence of alloying and the anisotropy on the magnetic, transport and thermal properties of M -FMS, which has not been studied yet. A pioneering work will be above all the direct observation of magnetic structures of individual phase diagram regions of these M-FMS by spin-polarized scanning tunnelling microscopy. Investigated will be also the dynamics of magnetic structures (the influence of the rate of change of the magnetic field on these structures) and the study of magnetic excitations (by neutron diffraction methods) in selected tetraborides and dodecaborides.The challenging experimental studies, for which both high quality samples and suitable methods are already available, will be supported by the theoretical interpretation of received results, and by the theoretical elaboration. |

| Systematické štúdium vplyvu lokálnych a nelokálnych interakcií na koexistenciu kvantových fáz s rôznymi parametrami usporiadania | |
| Systematic study of influence of local and nonlcal interactions on coexistence of quantum phases with different order parameters | |
| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | RNDr. Farkašovský Pavol, DrSc. |
| Annotation: | The proposed project is focused on the complex study of influence of local and non-local interactions, of the Coulomb and spin nature, on the ground state properties of the generalized two-band Hubbard model. The results obtained will be used for a description of anomalous cooperative phenomena in real materials with strongly correlated electrons. The study will include a wide class of cooperative phenomena such as valence and metal-insulator transitions, charge and spin ordering, itinerant ferromagnetism, electronic ferroelectricity, supercoductivity, excitonic matter and will concern a wide class of materials such as nickelates, cobaltates, rare-earth hexaborides and chalcogenides,multiferroics, etc. The emphasis will be put on the study of influence of combined effects of two or more interactions with a goal to describe coexistence of two or more quantum phases with different order parameters (ferromagnetic-ferroelectric state, charge/spin ordering-superconductivity, etc.). |

| KOLJA – Kolektívne javy vo viazaných elektrónových a spinových systémoch | |
| Collective phenomena in coupled electron and spin systems | |
| Program: | SRDA |
| Project leader: | RNDr. Farkašovský Pavol, DrSc. |
| Annotation: | The project is devoted to the theoretical study of collective phenomena in coupled electron and spin systems. The complex coupled electron and spin systems will be examined by sophisticated numerical methods with the goal to contribute to the understanding of physical mechanisms leading to the coexistence of quantum states with different order parameters, e.g., charge/spin ordering and superconductivity, ferromagnetic and ferroelectric state, metallic and insulating states. Contrary to this, simpler coupled electron and spin systems will be examined by exact analytical methods with the goal to give an explanation of unconventional quantum states manifested as fractional magnetization plateaus in magnetization processes, the origin of enhanced magnetocaloric effect and the thermodynamic behaviour near the quantum critical point. |

| Teoretické štúdium kooperatívnych javov v silne korelovaných elektrónových a spinových systémoch | |
| Theoretical study of cooperative phenomena in strongly correlated electron and spin systems. | |
| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | RNDr. Farkašovský Pavol, DrSc. |
| Annotation: | The proposed project is devoted to the theoretical study of cooperative phenomena in strongly correlated electron and spin systems with an emphasis on understanding of physical mechanisms leading to the coexistence of different types of quantum phases in real materials. In particular, we plan to study and describe the coexistence of ferromagnetic and ferroelectric state, charge and spin ordering, insulating and metallic phase and normal and superconducting state. As the generating model for a description of these cooperative phenomena we plan to use the two-band Hubbard model in which both d and f electron subsystems are described by the Hubbard Hamiltonian with additional inter-band charge interaction of the Falicov-Kimball type and the spin interaction of the Ising/Heisenberg type. The results obtained will be used for an interpretation of experimental data in rare-earth and transition-metal compounds, with a stress on optimization of their physical properties supporting the coexistence of quantum phases. |

| Štúdium nábojového a magnetického usporiadania v korelovaných sústavách elektrónov | |
| The study of charge and magnetic ordering in correlated electron systems | |
| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | RNDr. Farkašovský Pavol, DrSc. |
| Annotation: | We will study a formation of charge and magnetic ordering in correlated electron systems consisting of two interacting subsystems: the itinerant d-electron subsystem and the localized subsystem of f-electrons or spins. The generating model for a description of such systems will be the spin-one-half Falicov-Kimball model generalized by the spin dependent interaction between d and f electrons (spins) and the Hubbard interaction between the itinerant d-electrons. The main goal is to contribute to understanding the formation of inhomogeneous charge and magnetic ordering, observed experimentally, for example, in the normal phase of high-temperature supreconductors (but also in many others rare-earth and transition metal compounds, e.g. NaxCoO2) as well as to contribute to the theory of itinerant magnetism, electronic ferroelectricity and the theory of metal-insulator transitions that are tightly bound with particular charge and magnetic ordering. |

| The study of strongly correlated electron systems beyond standard approximations | |
| Program: | SRDA |
| Project leader: | RNDr. Farkašovský Pavol, DrSc. |
| Annotation: | Within the proposed project we would like to study strongly correlated electron systems beyond the standard approximations in the attempt to elaborate the most realistic description of rare-earth and transition metal compounds exhibiting a number of exotic cooperative phenomena (inhomogeneous charge ordering, electronic ferroelectricity, metal-insulator transitions, high-temperature superconductivity, etc.). In particular, we will try to describe effects of the long-range electron hopping, the long-range Coulomb interaction, lattice imperfections (magnetic and non-magnetic impurities, vacancies) as well as the lattice type (the triangular lattice) on the ground-state properties of these systems. The results obtained we plane to use for an explanation of charge and magnetic ordering observed experimetnaly in the normal phase of high-temperature superconductors as well as for a description of electronic properties of NaxCoO2 system, at present very intensively studied material for its unusual properties. |
