[LA-SiGMA-funded] LI-LA-SiGMA seminar Tuesday, Feb 22nd

[Dentcho Genov]

Dear All,

 

This is a kind reminder that our next LI-LA-SiGMA seminar will be held
tomorrow (Feb 22nd ) at 2.00pm. Our speaker is Dr. Piers Coleman from
Rutgers University. Dr. Coleman is one of the leading researchers in
condensed matter physics and he is visiting LSU thanks to Dr. Ward Plummer.

 

Title: Composite and hidden order in f-electron materials and the lessons we
are learning

 

Abstract:  Part of the challenge of condensed matter and material physics is
to find and seek out new novel forms of order and materials properties. In
this talk I will discuss some of the new insights into electron condensation
and order that derive from the study off-electron materials, where
"composite order" between magnetic moments and itinerant electrons appears
to play a central role in the development of new quantum states, including
"hidden order" and superconductivity.  I'll particular try to bring out the
importance of a creative tension between experiment, numerics and
model-based approaches, telling the story of how new numerical results
prompted the rediscovery of a forgotten piece of physics developed by Bob
Schrieffer 40 years ago, relevant to both f- and d- electron materials.
