Yazyev, Institute of Physics, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) In person: G30, New Horizons Bld, Monash University, 20 Research Way, Clayton Catch the recorded seminar on YouTube In my talk, I will focus on our recent efforts directed towards the search of novel topological materials. A large number of diverse topological Read More

Abdulhakim Bake, PhD candidate, University of Wollongong, Institute for Superconducting and Electronic Materials (ISEM). Missed the seminar? Catch up on YouTube Topological insulators (TIs) are a special type of materials that have unique properties: They are insulators on the inside but conduct electricity very well on their surface. The surface states of TIs enable the Read More

Dr Peggy Qi Zhang School of Materials Science and Engineering, The University of New South Wales Venue: Seminar room G29, New Horizons Bld, Monash University, Clayton Topological structures in ferroelectric systems have recently drawn immense attention. For example, topological configurations such as skyrmions, flux closures, or nanoscale bubble domains have led to emergent properties including Read More

Semonti Bhattacharyya, Leiden Institute of Physics, Leiden University Monash University, Melbourne, ARC Centre of Excellence in Future Low Energy Electronics Technology Catch up on YouTube The low-energy electrons in graphene and topological insulators manifest themselves as Dirac fermions, because of their linear band structures. These electrons are unique compared to ordinary semiconductors because of their Read More
