SUMMARY:Challenges and Opportunities in Designing Quantum Materials - Prof
  Dr Roser Valenti\, Goethe University Frankfurt
DTSTART:20190510T133000Z
DTEND:20190510T143000Z
UID:TALK123325@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Olivia Matthewson
DESCRIPTION:Unconventional superconductivity with high critical temperatur
 es\, nematicity\, frustrated magnetism\, spin-liquid phases or the recentl
 y discussed Kitaev model-based phases are a few examples of exotic states 
 in correlated materials. One of the big challenges in solid state physics 
 is the microscopic description of such systems. Moreover\, being able to u
 nderstand these materials implies the possibility of designing compounds w
 ith desirable properties.\n\nIn this talk I will review the world of some 
 families of correlated materials ranging from unconventional superconducto
 rs to frustrated magnets and present some strategies on how to model them 
 microscopically.\n\n
