Physics Colloquium: Binghai Yan

Riddick 301 2401 Stinson Drive, Raleigh, NC, United States

Title: Topology, Spin and Orbital in DNA-like Chiral Quantum Materials Abstract: In chemistry and biochemistry, chirality represents the structural asymmetry characterized by non-superimposable mirror images for a material like DNA. In physics, however, chirality commonly refers to the spin-momentum locking of a particle or quasiparticle in the momentum space. While seemingly unrelated characters in different…

Physics Colloquium: Saori Pastore

Riddick 301 2401 Stinson Drive, Raleigh, NC, United States

Title and Abstract details are forthcoming. Host: Evan Grohs

Physics Colloquium: Stephen Roberson

Riddick 301 2401 Stinson Drive, Raleigh, NC, United States

Title: Navigating the backlash of anti-DEI sentiment Abstract: In this talk, the pros and cons of DEI initiatives in the American workplace will be examined from the point of view of those that are generally thought to benefit from these policies. A brief history on the state of the American workplace and the effect of…

Physics Colloquium: Moumita Das

Riddick 301 2401 Stinson Drive, Raleigh, NC, United States

Title and Abstract details are forthcoming. Host: Mary Elting

RPT Colloquium: Dali Sun

Riddick 301 2401 Stinson Drive, Raleigh, NC, United States

Title: Interplays of Structural Chirality and Spin Phenomena in Chiral Matters Abstract: Coupling of spin and charge currents to structural chirality in non-magnetic materials, known as chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS), is promising for application in spintronic devices at room temperature. Although the CISS effect has been identified in various chiral materials, its Onsager reciprocal process,…

RPT Colloquium: Lex Kemper

Riddick 325 2401 Stinson Drive, Raleigh, NC, United States

Title: Quantum Matter Meets Quantum Computing Abstract: Quantum computing has the potential to help us overcome the barriers that are presented by the end of Moore’s law. In the natural sciences, these barriers appear as limitations in computer memory and/or processing speed which prevent scientists from describing the problem fully and forcing them to work…

RPT Colloquium: Ian Roederer

Riddick 325 2401 Stinson Drive, Raleigh, NC, United States

Title: The Origin of the Heaviest Elements Abstract: Understanding the origin of the elements remains one of the major challenges of modern astrophysics. I will introduce some of the open questions in the field and present several major advances from recent years. These advances include measuring the most complete heavy element chemical inventory beyond the…

RPT Colloquium: Richard Longland

Riddick 301 2401 Stinson Drive, Raleigh, NC, United States

Title: The Long Wait for T Coronae Borealis - How Nuclear Physics Informs Our Understanding of Astrophysical Phenomena Abstract: Classical novae are the result of hydrogen-rich matter exploding on the surface of a white dwarf. That matter is accreted from a nearby companion star in a binary system, building a dense layer that eventually explodes…
