Our modern understanding of the electronic and magnetic properties of solids is the driving force behind new technologies that range from data storage and manipulation in computers to energy storage in rechargeable batteries. It has become increasingly apparent that progress in developing new devices relies upon a deeper understanding of how electrons interact in solids in a highly correlated fashion. These "Quantum Materials", such as high temperature superconductors, multiferroics, and unusual magnets, are providing challenges to the condensed matter community which involve new perspectives and techniques. On a more fundamental level, there is a growing need for high quality single crystals of these materials, and continued research at the boundary of chemistry and physics that is required in Quantum Materials Discovery. An investment in materials synthesis expertise through this Canada Research Chair is essential for keeping Canada at the forefront of this field and for making future discoveries that will ultimately stimulate our economy through innovation.

我们对固体电子和磁性特性的现代理解是新技术背后的驱动力，这些新技术的范围从计算机中的数据存储和操作到可充电电池中的能量存储。 越来越明显的是，开发新设备的进展依赖于对电子如何以高度相关的方式在固体中相互作用的更深入的理解。 这些“量子材料”，如高温超导体、多铁性材料和不寻常的磁铁，给凝聚态物质界带来了挑战，涉及新的视角和技术。 在更基本的层面上，对这些材料的高质量单晶的需求不断增长，并且在量子材料发现所需的化学和物理边界上继续进行研究。 通过这位加拿大研究主席对材料合成专业知识的投资对于保持加拿大在该领域的领先地位以及未来的发现至关重要，这些发现最终将通过创新刺激我们的经济。
