Speaker: Atınç Çaǧan Şengül Title: Studying Dark Matter at Sub-Galactic Scales with Strong Gravitational Lensing
Abstract: Infrared magnetospectroscopy is a useful probe of correlated electron physics in graphene (although this is not true for 2D electron systems in general). We have studied Landau level transitions in both mono- and bilayer graphene, and generally find departures from what is expected in a single particle picture. Bilayer graphene offers an intriguing set […]
