Advanced Solid State Materials and Spectroscopies

Brainstorming Session

Speaker: See program
Date & Time: August 24 - 27, 2011
Location: UBC, AMPEL 311
Local Contact: Ilya Elfimov
Intended Audience: Graduate

August 24 – 27, 2011, University of British Columbia

The  brains in this session consisted of experts in Oxide molecular beam epitaxy, resonant x ray scattering, neutron scattering, electronic structure and spectroscopy theory. The main aim was to set out a course for a program to prepare, characterize and understand what happens to the electronic structure at interfaces of heterostructures made of oxides involving correlated electron systems. Recent discoveries of superconductivity and magnetism at these interfaces open a potential path to completely new classes of materials with exceptional and tunable properties.
