8th IACS-APCTP-KIAS Joint Conference on Emergent Phenomena in Novel Oxide Materials and Low Dimensional Systems
December 15 (Thu), 2016 ~ December 17 (Sat), 2016

    VENUE Seminar room 512, APCTP Headquarters, POSTECH, Pohang, Korea

    PERIOD December 15 (Thu.) ~ December 17 (Sat.), 2016

     

    OVERVIEW

     

    Novel and emergent materials have attracted major interest in condensed matter research because of their wide ranging physical properties that are not only important for basic research but also for various applications. The major purpose of this conference is to present and discuss about cutting-edge theoretical work on novel and emergent materials that will include transition metal oxides, spin-orbit materials, topological insulators, novel iron based superconductors, and two-dimensional materials. In particular, Graphene and topological insulators constitute a novel class of materials in condensed matter physics whose low-energy quasiparticles obey Dirac-like, rather than Schrodinger like, equations. The main purpose of the present meeting will be to discuss about recent progresses in theory (both ab-initio as well as many-body approaches) to understand these novel materials. The conference will also have special talks by leading experimentalists in the Asia Pacific region working in the area mentioned above.
