May 29 - June 3, 2011 in Venice (Italy)
Scope
Some of the most striking developments of materials science today are a consequence and a manifestation of the correlated nature of electrons. An emerging theme that appears to be broadly relevant to many of these quantum materials is the notion that strong inter-particle correlations lead to new quantum states and/or phase transitions, and in general exhibit peculiar collective effects such as ordering (ferro- and antiferromagnetic), dynamics (spin waves and magnetic heavy electrons), and unusual excitations (spinons, holons, quasiparticles with fractional quantum numbers)stronly influencing the the macroscopic states of matter. This school/workshop aims to give a thorough description of the research activity focused on these materials and presents recent developments and possible future directions of the field.
Topics will cover:
- electronic and magnetic properties of hetero-interfaces
- spintronics
- topological insulators
- Diluted magnetic semiconductor
- strongly correlated oxides
