Condensed Matter seminar: "Control of light-matter interaction in 2D materials"
Vinod Menon, The City College of New York
Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals materials have emerged as a very attractive class of optoelectronic material due to the unprecedented strength in its interaction with light. In this talk I will discuss approaches…
Experimental Particle Physics Seminar: "Latest results from KOTO"
Brian Beckford, University of Michigan
Astronomy seminar: "Integrated approach to cosmology"
Andrina Nicola (Princeton/ETH)
Recent progress in observational cosmology and the establishment of ΛCDM have relied on the combination of different cosmological probes. These probes are not independent, since they all measure the same physical…
SPECIAL MEAM/MSE SEMINAR: "Scalable functional phase change materials for displays and photonic non-von Neumann computing"
Harish Bhaskaran, University of Oxford, UK; Co-founder of Bodle Technologies
Talk Abstract: In electronics, doping silicon results in one of the most versatile functional materials ever employed. The pursuit of such functional materials in the optical domain is an area of great…
Special Condensed Matter seminar: "Topological materials science"
Claudia Felser (Director, Max Planck Institute Chemical Physics of Solids, Dresden)
Topology, a mathematical concept, recently became a hot and truly transdisciplinary topic in condensed matter physics, solid state chemistry and materials science.
High Energy Theory seminar
James Sully, University of British Columbia
Department Colloquium (joint with CBE): "Structuring Matter over Multiple Length Scales using the Self-Assembly of Colloidal Particles"
Marjolein Dijkstra, Debye Institute for Nanomaterials Science, Utrecht University
In 1960, Feynman challenged us to think “from the bottom up” and to create new functional materials by directing and manipulating the arrangements of individual atoms ourselves. With recent advances in the synthesis…
