Event Name Date, Time and Host Summary
Precision semiconductor technology from molecular vapors and machine learning
event
-
place
Physics Library - Room 223A
group
Guang Bian
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

place
Physics Library
group
Dr. Guang Bian
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
event
-
place
Physics Library
group
Dr. Pontus Laurell
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
