| Superconductivity in UTe2: Status Report |
Abstract: UTe2 is a rare example of a material exhibiting multiple spin-triplet superconducting phases, including reentrant superconductivity at record magnetic fields up to 80 Tesla. Though studied for some time, the exact nature of these phases is still not fully… Show more Speaker: Dr. Daniel Shaffer, Department of Physics, University of Wisconsin-Madison |

| When Magnets Get Frustrated: The Search for Quantum Spin Liquids |
Abstract: Magnetism, first encountered by humans thousands of years ago in naturally occurring lodestones, remains one of the most intriguing phenomena in physics. As physicists, we have learned that electricity and magnetism can be described by Maxwell’s equations.… Show more Speaker: Prof. Gavin Hester, Brock University |

| Writing in altermagnetic spintronics with light |
Abstract: Altermagnets are a new class of magnets with zero net magnetization and no stray fields, but with strong spin polarization that depends on momentum. That suits spintronic memory devices: the spin polarization gives a good readout. Writing, however, has… Show more Speaker: Dr. Mohsen Yarmohammadi, Department of Physics, Georgetown University |
