Exploring Novel Phenomena in Correlated Quantum Systems

量子材料是一类令人兴奋的系统，它显示出由不寻常的相互作用产生的物质的奇异相，这是现有理论无法预测的。通过外部参数调节这些相互作用，可以稳定物质的奇异相，并探索它们的不同成分。此外，在控制这些系统时，可以增强在未来应用中可能需要的特定物理性质。该项目旨在探索新材料中量子物质的实验出现相，以了解它们的基本相互作用。这项研究将结合使用高分辨率传输和热力学测量在超高磁场、低温和施加压力的极端条件下进行的一系列实验。这项研究将探索具有强烈的磁性和电子相关性的系统，如金属和几何受挫的磁晶格，以了解传导电子如何对受挫的相互作用做出反应。其他系统将包括那些接近电子不稳定的系统，其中它们的量子极限可以在高磁场中达到，以稳定物质的新的关联电子态。拟议的项目将对电子的操纵和自旋自由度产生重要的洞察，这与未来量子电子和计算的发展有关。

Quantum materials are an exciting class of systems which display exotic phases of matter arising from unusual interactions which cannot be predicted by existing theories. By tuning these interactions via external parameters, exotic phases of matter can be stabilized and their different components can be explored. Furthermore, in controlling these systems, one could enhance a specific physical property which may be desirable in future applications. This project aims to explore experimentally emergent phases of quantum matter in novel materials in order to understand their fundamental interactions. The research will combine a series of experiments in extreme conditions of ultra-high magnetic fields, low temperatures and applied pressure using high-resolution transport and thermodynamic measurements. This study will explore systems with strong magnetic and electronic correlations such as metallic and geometrically frustrated magnetic lattices to understand how conduction electrons respond to frustrated interactions. Other systems will include those close to electronic instabilities and where their quantum limit can be reached in high-magnetic fields to stabilize new correlated electronic states of matter. The proposed projects will generate significant insight into the manipulation of electrons and spin degrees of freedom which is relevant for the development of future quantum electronics and computing.
