Spring 2021
Over the past decade, the interplay between symmetry and topology in condensed matter physics has not only deepened our understanding of matter by prompting a conceptual revolution in classifying all phases of matter, but it has also led to tremendous progress in finding new materials with low...

The electron-phonon interaction is one of the fundamental interactions in almost all condensed matter materials. In conventional superconductors, the electron-phonon interaction is the glue that attracts two electrons to one another to form a pair. A strong electron-phonon interaction leads to...

Electrons interacting with the ions in a solid, or polarons, are some of the most basic condensed matter quasi-particles. They influence the electric conductivity in normal metals, but perhaps most fascinatingly, they mediate the formation of Cooper pairs in low temperature superconductors. The...
