Workshop on Emerging Frontiers in Experimental Condensed Matter Physics of Strongly Correlated Electron Systems

在过去的几十年里，凝聚态物理学通过研究和开发半导体和计算机存储设备等新材料为社会做出了巨大贡献。 然而，目前凝聚态物理学界正处于十字路口，面临着理解日益复杂的材料的基本行为的挑战。 该研讨会汇集了来自美国各地的初级和高级教师和研究人员的领先实验学家，讨论新兴趋势和想法，以更好地测量和理解这些材料。 近年来几种新材料的发现突出了对先进实验的需要。 例如，铁磷属元素化物超导体表现出电子、自旋和晶格自由度的复杂相互作用，这给解释带来了困难。 为了取得进展，测量这些系统对非传统扰动（如单轴或静水压力、高磁场或大电场）的响应的新实验至关重要。 该研讨会汇集了这些不同领域的实验人员，旨在阐明通过结合传统上仍然不同的技术可能出现的潜在新机会。 研讨会的特点是对当前和新兴趋势的小组讨论，并将探讨相关电子研究前沿的主题。

Condensed matter physics has made tremendous contributions to society over the past several decades through the study and development of novel materials such as semiconductors and computer memory devices. Presently, however, the condensed matter physics community is at a crossroads, faced with challenges of understanding the fundamental behavior of increasingly complex materials. This workshop brings together leading experimentalists, both junior and senior faculty and researchers from across the US, to discuss emerging trends and ideas to better measure and understand such materials. The discovery of several new materials in recent years has highlighted the need for advanced experiments. The iron pnictide superconductors, for example, exhibit a complex interplay of electronic, spin and lattice degrees of freedom that give rise to difficulties of interpretation. In order to make progress, novel experiments to measure the response of these systems to non-traditional perturbations such as uniaxial or hydrostatic pressure, high magnetic fields, or large electric fields are vital. This workshop brings together experimentalists in these different fields with the goal to elucidate potential new opportunities that may emerge by combining techniques that traditionally have remained disparate. The workshop features a panel discussion on current and emerging trends, and will explore topics at the frontier of correlated electron research.
