SUMMARY:Electrons in a spin: the physics of gadgets - Dr Gareth Conduit\, 
 University of Cambridge
DTSTART:20111026T190000Z

CONTACT:David Joseph
DESCRIPTION:Modern day electronic devices rely on the interplay of two eff
 ects: strongly interacting electrons and quantum mechanics. Starting from 
 classical physics we first use practical demonstrations to explore how an 
 assembly of interacting particles obey very different laws of motion to a 
 lone particle. Secondly\, we outline the counterintuitive ramifications of
  quantum mechanics for electrons. Finally\, we combine these effects to un
 derstand the phenomena driving modern day electronics\, and address recent
  experiments that could inspire the next generation of devices.
