Assoc. Prof. Pavel Jelinek, Institute of Physics of the Czech Acadamy of Sciences Catch up on the talk on YouTube Recent progress in on-surface chemistry enabled the synthesizing and characterizing of novel-conjugated carbon molecules with magnetic properties systems with unprecedented properties [1]. This route, complemented with high-resolution scanning probe imaging (SPM), provides new opportunities to Read More

Prof. Katharina J. Franke, Freie Universität Berlin Catch the talk on YouTube Magnetic adatoms on superconductors induce bound states – known as Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) states – inside the superconducting energy gap of the underlying substrate. These states have been widely characterized by scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS), leading to a fundamental understanding on how spin-carrying orbitals Read More

Prof Ana Maria Rey, JILA, NIST and University of Colorado, Boulder Missed the talk? Catch up on YouTube. Harnessing the behavior of complex systems is at the heart of quantum technologies. Precisely engineered ultracold gases are emerging as a powerful tool for this task. In this talk I will explain how ultracold strontium atoms trapped Read More

Professor Nadya Mason, Rosalyn Sussman Yalow Professor in Physics, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Missed the seminar. Catch up on YouTube There is wide interest in using strain-engineering to modify the physical properties of 2D materials, for both basic science and applications. Deformations of graphene, for example, can lead to the opening of band gaps, as Read More

Prof. Michael Fuhrer, School of Physics and Astronomy, and ARC Centre of Excellence in Future Low-Energy Electronics Technologies, Monash University. Missed the seminar. Catch up on YouTube The impending end of Moore’s Law has prompted a search for a new computing technology with vastly lower energy consumed per operation than silicon CMOS. The recent discovery Read More

Prof. Piers Coleman, Center for Materials Theory, Dept Physics and Astronomy, Rutgers University, Dept Physics, Royal Holloway University, London. Missed the colloquium? Catch up on YouTube At the turn of the 20th century, physicists faced an uncanny range of unsolved problems: simple questions, such as why hot objects change color, why matter is hard and Read More

Prof. Jelena Vuckovic, Stanford University Missed the colloquium. Catch up on Youtube Meeting ID: 839 7484 9616 Passcode: 12345 Photonics with superior properties can be implemented in a variety of old (silicon, silicon nitride) and new (silicon carbide, diamond) photonic materials by combining state of the art photonics optimization techniques (photonics inverse design) with new Read More

Associate Professor, Jennifer MacLeod, School of Chemistry and Physics, Queensland University of Technology Register in advance for this meeting After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. All welcome – please share the seminar flyer with your network. Abstract Bottom-up approaches hold the promise of targeted design of nanomaterials. Read More

Associate Professor, Tami Pereg-Barnea, Department of Physics, McGill University Catch up online A 3D topological insulator (TI) hosts an odd number of Dirac cones as its 2D surface states spectrum. The states are exponentially localized to the surface and their (pseudo)spin is locked to the surface momentum direction due to spin-orbit interaction. If the TI Read More
