At the intersection of geometry and quantum mechanics, kagome materials represent a paradigm within condensed matter physics that challenges our foundational understanding. Defined by a unique lattice of corner-sharing triangles, these materials have become a rich platform for exploring exotic phases of matter, including superconductivity, charge density waves, and quantum spin liquids. This workshop brings together an interdisciplinary group of leading theorists, experimentalists, and chemists to deepen our understanding of the complex physics of kagome materials.
Key topics include:
- Flat Band Physics and Many-Body Interactions: Investigating the consequences of high-density states and their role in fostering exotic phases, such as unconventional superconductivity.
- Topological Properties: Exploring topological aspects within kagome lattices.
- Synthesis and Characterization of Kagome Materials: Discussing advancements in synthesis and analysis techniques to map electronic structures and uncover pathways for stabilizing exotic states.
- Emerging Phenomena and Theoretical Predictions: Addressing recent theoretical and experimental breakthroughs, with a focus on the potential for kagome materials to host a spectrum of novel quantum phases.
This workshop is in person only. Space is limited, so please register early. We are not Zooming nor recording the talks.
