Strongly correlated electron models for organic superconductors

在铜等传统金属中，电子之间的相互作用不会从本质上改变材料的行为。然而，在过去的几十年里，已经发现了许多材料，它们的行为由电子之间的相互作用主导。这些“强相关”材料包括用于配电、催化和塑料显示技术的重要技术材料。这个项目将结合化学和物理的理论和实验方法，努力解释在某些类别的有机强相关材料中看到的新行为。这种理解有可能对未来的电子设备和先进材料产生影响。

In conventional metals such as copper the interactions between the electrons do not qualitively change the behaviour of the material. However, over the last few decades many materials have been discovered whose behaviours are dominated by the interactions between electrons. These 'strongly correlated' materials include technologically important materials used in power distribution, catalysis and plastic display technologies. This project will combine theoretical and experimental methods from chemistry and physics in an effort to explain the novel behaviours seen in certain classes of organic strongly correlated materials. This understanding has the potential to impact future electronic devices and advanced materials.
