Quantum states of matter: from spin liquids to superconductors. Condensed matter physics has produced the technologies and materials that fuelled the digital and communications revolution. The scientific importance of condensed matter physics is indicated by the fact that ten Nobel prizes have been awarded for work in this field since 1990. This proposal brings together world leading chemists, experimental physicists and theoretical physicists from Australia, USA and UK to work on highly interdi ....Quantum states of matter: from spin liquids to superconductors. Condensed matter physics has produced the technologies and materials that fuelled the digital and communications revolution. The scientific importance of condensed matter physics is indicated by the fact that ten Nobel prizes have been awarded for work in this field since 1990. This proposal brings together world leading chemists, experimental physicists and theoretical physicists from Australia, USA and UK to work on highly interdisciplinary projects designed to discover how quantum mechanics leads to the novel properties of chemically complex materials. Such materials will be of central importance to the technologies of the future such as computer memories and the superconducting magnets in hospital MRI machines.Read moreRead less
Strongly correlated electron models for organic superconductors. 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 p ....Strongly correlated electron models for organic superconductors. 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.Read moreRead less
