Motterials: Spin, Orbital, and Lattice Physics Near the Mott Transition
Coordinators: Matthew P.A. Fisher, Daniil I. Khomskii, George A. Sawatzky, Nicola Spaldin, Oleg Tchernyshyov
The MOTTERIALS conference will highlight the most recent developments in the physics of materials whose behavior is dominated by strong correlations between electrons. Researchers from three focus areas:
- The synthesis of novel materials displaying correlated phenomena such as multiferroism, frustrated magnetism, colossal magnetoresistance and charge and orbital ordering,
- Their characterization using the latest advances in neutron diffraction, x-ray scattering, high-resolution microscopy and photoemission, and
- The understanding and prediction of new strongly correlated phenomena using state-of-the-art theoretical and computational techniques,
will pool their expertise to define and address the most pressing current problems in the field.
