Special Seminar: Owen Sheekey – UCSB: Inter-valley coherence, intrinsic and extrinsic spin-orbit coupling in rhombohedral graphene

McLeod 3038 2356 Main Mall, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Abstract: Rhombohedral graphene multilayers provide a clean and highly reproducible platform to explore the emergence of superconductivity and magnetism in a strongly interacting electron system. The high density of states near the van Hove singularities lead to a variety of broken symmetry phases – including exotic forms of spin and valley ferromagnetism . Because of their […]

CM Seminar: Andrea Young – University of California Santa Barbara: Magnetism and superconductivity in rhombohedral graphene multilayers: triplet superconductivity, intervalley coherence, and spin orbit coupling 

McLeod 3038 2356 Main Mall, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Andrea Young – University of California Santa Barbara Title: Magnetism and superconductivity in rhombohedral graphene multilayers: triplet superconductivity, intervalley coherence, and spin orbit coupling  Abstract: The electronic band structure of rhombohedral graphene multilayers hosts van Hove singularities at which the single particle of states diverges.  I will discuss experiments in which we use electrostatic gates […]

CM Seminar: Nitin Kaushal – QMI: Realization of magnetically frustrated Wigner crystals and a novel multiorbital model in transition metal dichalcogenide based moiré materials
