Physics of New Materials
Since a long time the shear unlimited combinatorial possibilities of chemical elements have been used to synthesize new compounds and alloys leading to an wealth of materials with new physical properties. The combination of solid state chemistry, experimental and theoretical physics is one of the key features of this field. Due to the desire and challenge to identify and theoretically describe new physical properties and new states of matter this field remains one of the most active and competitive in modern physics and may be viewed as the prime realization of Anderson’s concept of ”More is different”.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together an international group researchers from solid state chemistry, experimental as well as theoretical/computational condensed matter physics in order to discuss new developments in this field.
This is a joint project of the Laboratory for Solid State Physics, the Paul Scherrer Institute and the Institute for Theoretical Physics.
This workshop will be held in honor of Prof. Bertram Batlogg to celebrate his 60th birthday.
Date: August 23 - 25, 2010
Place: ETH Hönggerberg
Organization: Andrey Zheludev and Manfred Sigrist
