Title: Solid State Chemistry for new Quantum Materials
Abstract:
Electronic correlation in quantum materials drives the emergence of exotic collective states, that cannot be explained by classical pictures of non-interacting particles. From unconventional superconductors to frustrated magnets, this class of materials promise to play a key role in the development of next-generation quantum technologies, and this progress has to be driven by the discovery and understanding of new quantum materials.
With a special focus on low dimensional magnets, I will review some examples of how we can use chemical modifications to unlock further functionalities in these systems. In particular, the use of low temperature reactions to access kinetic products through cation and anion order or intercalation/deintercalation in solid state compounds will be highlighted.
