"Quantum Critical Phenomena in Correlated Electron Systems"

Rongying Jin
Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Research on correlated electronic materials has uncovered many novel physical properties that present an outstanding challenge for theoretical and experimental physicists. Puzzling new behavior develops around the precarious point of instability between two stable phases of matter - the quantum critical point. In my talk, I will give a couple of examples, showing how to promote the formation of new quantum phases by explicitly tuning systems toward special low-temperature quantum critical points.
