Content

This is the IKTP-Proseminar. Please choose a topic from the "schedule for presentations" and send an email with your preference to theresa.werner@tu-dresden.de and thomas.kormoll@tu-dresden.de

Current Plan

We will meet in person in the REC C118 auditorium. There will be a laptop and a blackboard that you may include in your presentation.

We do two talks each time. Each talk would last for around 30 minutes, then we have around 15 minutes of discussion time after each talk.

For the preparation I suggest the following procedure: around 4 weeks in advance of your talk we have one meeting. One or two weeks in advance your should have your slides more or less ready that we can go through them either in person or remotely.

You may use tools such as powerpoint, libreoffice, or latex (e.g. latex-beamer package) to prepare your slides - you find templates in the TU style in the material folder. As a guideline, I would estimate that a 30-minute talk could have 10-20 slides. The main point should be that the audience in the end understands the essentials of your topic, its advantages and challenges. The main challenge that you may face is to condense the relevant physics to a level that your audience can follow the topic and that you do not oversimplify things.

This course will provide an overview of the synthesis and most common physical properties measurements on quantum materials — materials in which quantum mechanics is essential for understanding the low-temperature electronic/magnetic ground state.  The course is offered in English.

This course will focus on the synthesis, crystal growth, and crystal chemical aspects of modern quantum materials (e.g. 2D materials, unconventional superconductors, topological materials, frustrated magnets). Topics will include: solid-state reactions, crystallization from the liquid and gas phases, and the structure and properties of perovskites, pyrochlores, and other materials of current interest. An overview will be provided of the most common physical properties used to characterize quantum materials. Relationships between the structure and the physical properties will be highlighted.

The topics and examples to be covered will be tailored to the interests of the students taking the course, and student participation is encouraged (e.g. short presentations on materials of interest to the student). 

Since the course covers a broad overview of both synthesis and measurement, no single book is recommended. Review articles and books are available to support different parts of the course.
