    Magnetic domain formation in itinerant metamagnets

    Binz, Benedikt ; Braun, H. B. ; Rice, T. M. ; Sigrist, M.

    In: Physical Review Letters, 2006, vol. 96, p. 196406

    We examine the effects of long-range dipolar forces on metamagnetic transitions and generalize the theory of Condon domains to the case of an itinerant electron system undergoing a first-order metamagnetic transition. We demonstrate that, within a finite range of the applied field, dipolar interactions induce a spatial modulation of the magnetization in the form of stripes or bubbles. Our...

    Weak coupling instabilities of two-dimensional lattice electrons

    Binz, Benedikt ; Baeriswyl, Dionys ; Douçot, B.

    In: Physica C: Superconductivity, 2004, vol. 408-410, p. 250-251

    We present a consistent and systematic study of a two-dimensional extended Hubbard model in the weak coupling limit. Quite generally, the electron gas is unstable towards a superconducting state even in the absence of phonons, since high-energy spin fluctuations create an effective attraction between the quasi-particles. However in the special case of a half-filled nearest-neighbor tight-binding...
