Cooper Title: Exploring the Chemical Landscape of High Entropy Oxides Abstract: High entropy, multi-component metal alloys (HEA), have superior mechanical properties and high radiation tolerances; which are, in part, driven by configurational entropy. Recently, an oxide analogue comprised of MgO, CoO, NiO, CuO […]

Speaker: Dr. Tina Rost Date: Thursday September 29 2022 Time: 10:00 am - 11:00 AM PST Location: Zoom Zoom Link: https://ubc.zoom.us/j/64243489212?pwd=YkFSMDdxN3Nhbm15aExBdTF6MnBvQT09 Meeting ID: 642 4348 9212 Passcode: 742838   Abstract Many properties we observe in materials are a direct consequence of their composition and local structure. High entropy materials are a unique class of systems […]

Dr. Anushya Chandran: Boston University Title: Quantization of dynamics in quasi-periodically driven systems Abstract: In the past decade, quantum simulators have increased in their power and scope, offering exquisite dynamical control of tens or even hundreds of individual atoms/ions. Concurrently, a topological revolution in our understanding of electronic band structures has taken place, driven by […]

Professor Romain Vasseur – University of Massachusetts, Amherst Title: Anomalous diffusion in quantum spin chains  Abstract: High-temperature quantum transport is usually assumed to be incoherent and diffusive.  In this talk, I will explain how anomalous transport in quantum spin chains can emerge from proximity to special integrable limits, due to a hierarchy of long-lived quasiparticle […]
