  1. 51. Spin-orbit coupling + Interaction = ?
    Prof. Tami Pereg-Barnea (McGill University)

    Condensed Matter and Materials Physics / Physique de la matière condensée et matériaux (DCMMP-DPMCM)
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
    Strongly interacting electron systems have fascinated the condensed matter community for a few decades. The addition of interactions to a model leads, in many cases, to new kinds of states, especially in low dimensional systems where fluctuations are pronounced. Notable examples are unconventional superconductivity and the fractional quantum Hall effect. Spin orbit coupling, on the other...

  2. 42. Topological insulators: interaction effects and new states of matter
    Dr Joseph Maciejko (Princeton University)

    Condensed Matter and Materials Physics / Physique de la matière condensée et matériaux (DCMMP-DPMCM)
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
    Topological insulators are recently discovered states of matter that are electrically insulating in the bulk but support novel conducting boundary states that are exceptionally robust to perturbations. The physics of topological insulators is due to strong spin-orbit coupling and, despite its exotic character, is well understood in a single-particle picture where electron-electron interactions...

  3. 37. Phonon-induced topological insulation
    Prof. Ion Garate (Université de Sherbrooke)

    Condensed Matter and Materials Physics / Physique de la matière condensée et matériaux (DCMMP-DPMCM)
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
    Recent years have witnessed the unexpected discovery of novel topological phases in certain electrically insulating and semimetallic solids whose low-energy bulk excitations are Dirac fermions. Topological phases in these ‘‘Dirac materials’’ are characterized by nonzero integers (topological invariants), which manifest themselves through peculiar and robustly gapless states localized at...
