"The Design, Growth, Discovery and Characterization of Novel Intermetallic Compounds"Paul C. Canfield , Ames Laboratory and Department of Physics and Astronomy, Iowa State University [Host: Seung-Hun Lee]
ABSTRACT:
In this talk I will review the motivations as well as means for the design, growth or search for novel materials. I will provide examples of what physics you can peruse ranging from superconductivity in MgB2, to the spin-glass state in rare earth based quasicrystals, to field induced quantum criticality in Yb-based intermetallics. The emphasis will be on the joy of, and tools for, discovery.
