Physics Lectures for the General MIT Community: e The Physics of Frustration in Quantum Magnets
Prof. Young Lee
Fri Jan 21, 01:30-02:30pm, 6-120
No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event
Can new states of matter be created using an ordinary oven? One of the central issues in condensed matter physics focuses on understanding the exotic phases which emerge from collections of interacting electrons. This talk will introduce the basic concepts in this active field of research. The powerful technique of neutron scattering, an essential tool in this pursuit, will be described. Intriguing new materials will be highlighted, ranging from novel superconductors to the quest for the "holy grail" of spin frustration here at MIT.
