Condensed Matter physicists study how matter arises from a large number of interacting atoms and electrons, and what physical properties it has as a result of these interactions.Traditionally, ... The ...
To make the subject more accessible, Nandkishore recently developed a Coursera course, “The Physics of Emergence: An Introduction to Condensed Matter Physics.” The course communicates the compelling ...
Spin–orbit coupling (SOC) describes the relativistic interaction between the spin and momentum degrees of freedom of electrons, and is central to the rich phenomena observed in condensed matter ...
These same materials can be implicated in my personal favorite phenomenon in condensed matter physics—superconductivity—in which a material suddenly loses its resistivity at low enough ...
Emergent phenomena are common in condensed matter. Their study now extends beyond strongly correlated electron systems, giving rise to the broader concept of quantum materials.
A new short volume by veteran science writer George Musser covers the concept of emergence in two domains of physics: the physics of materials (known as condensed matter) and the physics of space and ...
Emergent phenomena Professor Yoshinori Tokura of the Graduate School of Engineering (also Center Director of the Riken Center for Emergent Matter Science) typically begins his undergraduate lectures ...
On the other hand, scientists have discovered quasi-particles that mathematically behave as magnetic monopoles in condensed matter systems, resulting in interesting phenomena.
Nothing in the Standard Model can account for superconductivity or magnetism, nor how these two phenomena can coexist in iron pnictides materials. Similarly, interactions between individual particles ...
The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation announced good news for science today: more than $90 million for basic research, specifically in the field of condensed matter physics. The Moore Foundation's ...
Long before Dr. Jukka Vayrynen was an assistant professor at the Purdue Department of Physics and Astronomy, he was a post-doc investigating a theoretical model with emergent particles in a condensed ...
