Fazel Tafti: A New Paradigm for Colossal Magnetoresistance and Nonlinear Hall Effect

Virtual event

https://ubc.zoom.us/j/68470173961?pwd=RTZEak9Pd01WajVOZHN5SW5YZHcyQT09 Meeting ID: 684 7017 3961 Passcode: 113399 Speaker: Fazel Tafti, Boston College Abstract Materials with strong magneto resistive responses are the backbone of spintronic technology, magnetic sensors, and hard drives. Among them, manganese oxides with a mixed valence and a cubic perovskite structure stand out due to their colossal magnetoresistance (CMR). A double exchange […]

Ke Zou: Recent progress on understanding the superconductivity of bulk and monolayer FeSe

Virtual event

https://ubc.zoom.us/j/68470173961?pwd=RTZEak9Pd01WajVOZHN5SW5YZHcyQT09 Meeting ID: 684 7017 3961 Passcode: 113399 Speaker: Ke Zou, Stewart Blusson Quantum Matter Institute Abstract: The physics of high-temperature superconductors is usually governed by the interplay of the spin and charge degrees of freedom. FeSe has the simplest chemical composition among Fe-based superconductors, yet monolayer FeSe on SrTiO3 substrate reports one of the highest […]

Inna Vishik: Electronic Correlations and Topology across Tc in a Magnetic Weyl Semimetal

Likewise, these highly tunable materials are […]

Dr. Valentino R. Cooper: Exploring the Chemical Landscape of High Entropy Oxides

Virtual event

https://ubc.zoom.us/j/68470173961?pwd=RTZEak9Pd01WajVOZHN5SW5YZHcyQT09 Meeting ID: 684 7017 3961 Passcode: 113399 Speaker: Dr. Valentino R. 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 […]
