| Precision semiconductor technology from molecular vapors and machine learning |
This talk examines the use of deposition processes involving molecular vapors in precision control of materials for semiconductor applications. Recent work from our group has employed (1) oxidative molecular layer deposition (oMLD) to synthesize sequence-controlled… Show more Speaker: Prof. Matthias Young, Department of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering, University of Missouri |

| Strong Correlations in 2D Anisotropic Moiré Superlattices |
Abstract: Electrons in many solid materials, despite of their Coulomb interactions, can be qualitatively treated as non-interacting quasiparticles, a concept central to Fermi-liquid theory, established by Lev Landau in the 1950s. However, an increasing number of… Show more Speaker: Prof. Pengjie Wang, Department of Physics, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign |

| Phonon Thermal Hall Effect in Quantum Materials |
Abstract: As a thermal analog of the electrical Hall effect, the thermal Hall effect has emerged as a powerful probe in detecting charge-neutral excitations in insulating materials. Phonons, unlike magnons, were long believed to be incapable of generating a thermal… Show more Speaker: Prof. Lu Chen, Department of Physics, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign |

| O.M. Stewart Colloquium: How superconducting qubits work |
Abstract: This talk will cover the physical principles behind the winning qubit design -- the transmon -- and its derivatives. I will review the factors that limit the qubit coherence, and the ongoing efforts to mitigate them. We will also explore… Show more Speaker: Prof. Leonid Glazman, Yale University |
