Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.
Webinar: Spin- and angle-resolved photoemission ... (No replies)
Back to General announcements...
Electronic Structure (EST), IOP Publishing’s journal dedicated to the entirety of electronic structure research, is hosting a free webinar on Thursday 28th October at 1pm – 2pm BST on Spin- and angle-resolved photoemission on topological materials, with Guest Speaker Prof. J. Hugo Dil (EPFL and the Paul Scherrer Institute, Switzerland). Prof. Dil will be developing upon his well-received 2019 review article of the same title, which you can read here: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/2516-1075/ab168b, and answering viewers’ questions.
More from Prof. Dil on what to expect from his talk:
Topological materials have attracted much attention in recent years because of the promises for spintronics and quantum technology. In this webinar I give an overview of results obtained for a variety of topological materials with a strong focus on their spin properties as explored by spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (SARPES). The apparent discrepancy between the full spin polarisation measured by SARPES and the finite intrinsic spin polarisation will be explained based on the coherent nature of the experiment and the concept of spin interference. Furthermore, the spin textures for systems ranging from a topological Kondo insulator, to various types of Weyl semimetals, higher-order TIs, and triple fermions will be discussed. Finally, it will be argued that although topology is a magnificent concept for the classification of condensed matter, it is much more abundant as one would think.
