SUMMARY:Emergence in Solid State Physics - Sven Friedemann
DTSTART:20111020T121000Z
DTEND:20111020T130000Z
UID:TALK33037@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Dr Edward Cackett
DESCRIPTION:In large systems with interacting components one often finds e
 mergent behavior unforeseen on the basis of the individual components. Thi
 s principle is called emergence and is underlying a variety of phenomena a
 cross all disciplines from humanities to natural sciences. \nIn my talk I 
 will discuss emergent behavior in metals. Here\, tuning the interactions b
 etween electrons provides a route to new states of matter and helps to und
 erstand phenomena like superconductivity. A powerful way to tune the elect
 ron interaction is the application of pressure. I will show our recent dev
 elopments which are expected to simplify and standardize measurements at h
 igh pressures in the regime up to 100 000 bar.
