Special Seminar: "New Views on Iron Superconductivity: From a Mott Insulator’s Perspective"

Byron Freelon, M.I.T.

Seeking to understand the nature of high-temperature superconductivity (HTSC) in iron-based materials, we discuss a new class of compounds in which unconventional superconductivity may occur.  When…

Astro Seminar: "Circumstellar Disk Composition and Evolution"

Alycia Weinberger (Carnegie Institution)

Abstract:  The vast diversity of planetary systems arises from formation
processes within circumstellar disks. These disks start out gas rich and end
full of planets and some remnant debris dust. I will…

Condensed Matter seminar: "Low-Dimensional Properties of Atomically-Thin Materials and Systems"
