Using the ab initio local force method, we investigate the formation mechanism of the helical spin structure in GdRu_{2}Si_{2} and Gd_{2}PdSi_{3}. We calculate the paramagnetic spin susceptibility and find that the Fermi surface nesting is not the origin of the incommensurate modulation, in contrast to the naive scenario based on the Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida mechanism. We then decompose the exchange interactions between the Gd spins into each orbital component, and show that spin-density-wa

Motivated by a growing interest in multiorbital superconductors with spin-orbit interactions, we perform the group-theoretical classification of various unconventional superconductivity emerging in symmorphic $O, {D}_{4}$, and ${D}_{6}$ space groups. The generalized Cooper pairs, which we here call ``multipole'' superconductivity, possess spin-orbital coupled (multipole) degrees of freedom, instead of the conventional spin singlet/triplet in single-orbital systems. From the classification, we ob

A heavy-fermion superconductor UPt_{3} is a unique spin-triplet superconductor with multiple superconducting phases. Here, we provide the first report on a first-principles analysis of the microscopic superconducting gap structure. We find that the promising gap structure is an unprecedented E_{2u} state, which is completely different from the previous phenomenological E_{2u} models. Our obtained E_{2u} state has in-plane twofold vertical line nodes on small Fermi surfaces and point nodes with l

We present the group-thoretical classification of gap functions in superconductors coexisting with some magnetic order in non-symmorphic magnetic space groups. Based on the weak-coupling BCS theory, we show that UCoGe-type ferromagnetic superconductors must have horizontal line nodes on either $k_z=0$ or $\pm\pi/c$ plane. Moreover, it is likely that additional Weyl point nodes exist at the axial point. On the other hand, in UPd$_2$Al$_3$-type antiferromagnetic superconductors, gap functions with

A magnetic Weyl semimetal is a recent focus of extensive research as it may exhibit large and robust transport phenomena associated with topologically protected Weyl points in momentum space. Since a magnetic texture provides a handle for the configuration of the Weyl points and its transport response, understanding of magnetic dynamics forms the basis for future control of a topological magnet. Mn₃Sn is an example of an antiferromagnetic Weyl semimetal that exhibits a large response

We investigate the effect of antiferromagnetic (AF) quantum criticality on the magnetic penetration depth λ(T) in line-nodal superconductors, including the cuprates, the iron pnictides, and the heavy-fermion superconductors. The critical magnetic fluctuation renormalizes the current vertex and drastically enhances the zero-temperature penetration depth λ(0), which is more remarkable in the iron-pnictide case due to the Fermi-surface topology. Additional temperature (T) dependence of the current

LVR improved LV size and systolic function only in the early phase. Adjuvant use of ACE-I was useful for preventing redilation and maintaining LV systolic function, was associated with suppressed oxidative stress, and may make LVR a more effective surgical procedure for LV aneurysm.

To estimate the Curie temperature of metallic magnets from first principles, we develop a local force method for the tight-binding model having spin-dependent hopping derived from spin-density-functional theory. While spin-dependent hopping is crucial for the self-consistent mapping to the effective spin model, the numerical cost to treat such nonlocal terms in the conventional Green's function scheme is formidably expensive. Here, we propose a formalism based on the kernel polynomial method (KP

In recent years, the skyrmion lattice phase with a short lattice constant has attracted attention due to its high skyrmion density, making it a promising option for achieving high-density storage memory and for observing novel phenomena like the quantized topological Hall effect. Unlike conventional non-centrosymmetric systems where the Dzyaloshinsky–Moriya interaction plays a crucial role, the short pitch skyrmion phase requires a quadratic magnetic interaction J(q) with a peak at finite-Q, and

Based on the advanced first-principles theoretical approach, we investigate the superconducting gap structure and the pairing glue in the heavy-fermion superconductor ${\mathrm{CeCoIn}}_{5}$. Unexpectedly, the nesting function in the original GGA-based band structure, which is considered to be consistent with the dHvA measurement, shows a $Q$ structure incompatible with experimental observations. Instead we find the importance of the temperature-dependent Fermi surface evolution driven by electr
