Event Name Date, Time and Host Summary
Emergent phases in quantum magnets: fractionalization, fragmentation and new particles
event
-
place
Physics 120
group
Dr. Pavlo Sukhachov
Abstract: In recent years, bilayers and moire superlattices of van der Waals materials have surfaced as new tunable quantum platforms for the realization of emergent phases. While moire-induced electronic phases have been extensively explored over the past few years… Show more

Speaker: Prof. Onur Erten, Arizona State University

Electronic Correlations and Topology in 5f-electron Systems
event
-
place
Physics Library
group
Tom Heitmann
Abstract:
The concept of strongly correlated topological insulators is extremely attractive, not only because their surface states host massless helical carriers protected from backscattering, but because in 5f-electron systems these surface states can become more… Show more
