Open AccessCalorimetric evidence for two phase transitions in Ba1−xKxFe2As2 with fermion pairing and quadrupling states
Materials that break multiple symmetries allow the formation of four-fermion condensates above the superconducting critical temperature (Tc). Such states can be stabilized by phase fluctuations. Recently, a fermi...

State with spontaneously broken time-reversal symmetry above the superconducting phase transition
The most well-known example of an ordered quantum state—superconductivity—is caused by the formation and condensation of pairs of electrons. Fundamentally, what distinguishes a superconducting state from a nor...

A numerical study of planar arrays of correlated spin islands
We analyze a system of interacting islands of XY spins on a triangular lattice. This model has been introduced a few years ago by Eley et al. [Nat. Phys. 8, 59 (2012)] to account for the phenomenology in experim...
