The Physics and Astronomy Department hold regular seminars and events on a variety of topics. Please see below for further details.

Event Name Date, Time and Host Summary
Spin Transport and Magnetic Control in Altermagnets
event
-
place
Physics 120
group
Dr. Pavlo Sukhachov
Abstract: Altermagnets combine advantages of antiferromagnets with a momentum-dependent spin splitting that can arise without spin–orbit coupling. This unusual combination creates new opportunities for generating spin currents and controlling magnetic order. In this… Show more

Speaker: Prof. Alexey Kovalev, University of Nebraska, Lincoln

Emergent Many-Body Phases and Dynamics in Quantum Matter: From Self-Bound Droplets to Ultracold Chemistry
event
-
place
Physics Library
group
Pavlo Sukhachov
Abstract: We will discuss the formation and instabilities of quantum droplet and bubble phases arising in two-component attractively interacting bosonic mixtures. Insights regarding the interplay of atom and interaction imbalance as well as the impact of… Show more

Special O.M. Stewart Colloquium - Structural Transformations and Metastability of Gases Adsorbed in Nanopores: Insights from IRMOFs
event
-
place
Physics 223A
group
Dr. Carlos Wexler
Abstract: The structure of fluids confined in nanopores can change significantly as the number of adsorbed molecules increases. These adsorption-induced transformations may differ fundamentally from conventional capillary condensation, raising important questions… Show more
