Title:  Exploring fundamental physics to design exciting, topological and quantum materials for transformative device applications

Date: Wednesday, January 22, 2019 - Time: 10 AM

Venue: CeNSE MMCR

Abstract:

Topological and quantum materials have recently attracted immense interest, owing to their unique properties that exhibit rich physics and show tremendous promise for revolutionizing device applications. The study of these materials raises fundamental questions about the interesting and novel physics at play. In this talk, I shall answer some such foundational questions, including, (1) origin of quantization of electric polarization, (2) factors that govern the spin Hall effect and (3) mechanism behind the stability of magnetic skyrmions. I shall employ this new understanding to uncover exciting materials that outperform the state-of-the-art and promise transformative applications, including next-generation, ultra-dense memories, and neuromorphic computing.
