Condensed Matter Seminar Series
Complexity in Transition Metal Oxides
Elbio Dagotto
U. Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Lab
Thursday January 20, 11:30 am, Room 234, Physics Building
Host: Harold Baranger
Abstract:
The area of Strongly Correlated Electrons is one of the most
active in condensed matter. A review of the main recent issues
under discussion in the context of high temperature
superconductors and colossal magnetoresistance manganites
will be presented. Recent developments in
the area of complexity in oxides will be addressed, with emphasis
on the spontaneous formation of inhomogeneous states at the nanoscale.
