Course Description

Overview

Explore the groundbreaking discovery of magic-angle graphene superlattices in this 38-minute conference talk by Pablo Jarillo-Herrero from MIT at the APS March Meeting 2018. Delve into the fascinating world of strongly correlated physics as Jarillo-Herrero presents his findings on ultrathin materials composed of misaligned graphene sheets. Learn how these structures can transition from Mott insulators to superconductors, and understand the implications for high-temperature superconductivity research. Examine the unique properties of twisted bilayer graphene, including half-filling insulating phases, electrically tunable superconductivity, and similarities to cuprate superconductors. Gain insights into novel approaches for investigating strongly correlated quantum materials, and discover the potential of this new platform for advancing our understanding of complex electronic systems.
