We report inelastic neutron scattering measurements of the magnetic excitations in SrFe2As2, parent a family iron-based superconductors. The data extend throughout Brillouin zone and up to energies ~260meV. An analysis with local-moment J_1-J2 model implies very different in-plane nearest-neighbor exchange parameters along $a$ $b$ directions, both orthorhombic tetragonal phases. However, spectrum calculated from J1-J2 deviates significantly our data. show that qualitative features cannot be...
The recent realization of a binary dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate [A. Trautmann et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 121, 213601 (2018)] presents new exciting aspects for studying quantum droplets and supersolids in mixture. Motivated by this experiment, we study the ground-state phases dynamics Dy-Dy bosonic mixture exhibits qualitatively novel rich physics. Relying on three-dimensional numerical simulations extended Gross-Pitaevskii framework, unravel phase diagrams characterize their different...
We use point contact spectroscopy to probe $\rm{AEFe_2As_2}$ ($\rm{AE=Ca, Sr, Ba}$) and $\rm{Fe_{1+y}Te}$. For $\rm{AE=Sr, Ba}$ we detect orbital fluctuations above $T_S$ while for AE=Ca these start below $T_S$. Co doping preserves the K suppresses it.

A Faraday-wave-like parametric instability is investigated via mean-field and Floquet analysis in immiscible binary Bose-Einstein condensates. The condensates form a so-called \textit{ball-shell} structure two-dimensional harmonic trap. To trigger the dynamics, scattering length of core condensate periodically modulated time. We reveal that dynamics interface becomes unstable towards formation oscillating patterns. oscillates sub-harmonically exhibiting an $m$-fold rotational symmetry can be...

We investigate the quench dynamics of quasi-one- and two-dimensional dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates $^{164}\mathrm{Dy}$ atoms under influence a fast rotating magnetic field. The field thus controls both magnitude sign potential. account for quantum fluctuations, critical to formation exotic droplet supersolid phases in extended Gross-Pitaevskii formalism, which includes so-called Lee-Huang-Yang correction. An analytical variational ansatz allows us obtain phase diagrams superfluid phases....
We conduct a theoretical study of the creation and dynamics vortices in two-dimensional binary Bose-Einstein condensate with mass imbalance between species. To initiate dynamics, we use one or two rotating paddle potentials species, while other species is influenced only via interspecies interaction. In both number dominant sign are determined by rotation frequency potential. Clusters positive negative form at low comparable to that trap when using single contrast, same tend dominate as...

We use point contact spectroscopy (PCS) to probe the superconducting properties of electron doped $\rm{Ba(Fe_{1-x}Co_x)_2As_2}$ ($\rm{x = 0.05, 0.055, 0.07, 0.08}$) and hole $\rm{Ba_{0.8}K_{0.2}Fe_2As_2}$. PCS directly probes low energy density states via Andreev reflection, revealing two distinct gaps in both compound families. Apart from underdoped $\rm{Ba(Fe_{1-x}Co_{x})_2As_2}$, excess current due reflection for compounds follows typical BCS temperature dependence. For dependence...
