Host: Jazzmin Victorin Title: “Emergent metallicity and superconductivity at oxide heterointerfaces” Abstract: Perovskite-structured complex oxides exhibit a diverse array of physical properties, including magnetism, superconductivity, ferroelectricity, and metal-insulator transitions. The electronic, structural, and magnetic interactions at interfaces formed between crystalline, atomically-thin layers of these materials lead to the emergence of novel phases. Advances in the […]

Title: Polymer models for the prediction of 3D structure and transcription in human chromatin, Talk abstract: Transcription is a fundamental cellular process, and the first step of gene expression. In human cells, it depends on the binding to chromatin of various proteins, including RNA polymerases and numerous transcription factors (TFs). Observations indicate that these proteins […]

Title: Dynamic Jahn-Teller effect and a multi-polar order in 5d double-perovskites, The properties of strongly correlated systems have been at the forefront of scientific research for many decades. Typically focused on 3d transition metal compounds, it was often enough to consider only two relevant energy scales, the hopping integral and on-site Coulomb repulsion. In recent […]
