Robert Cava, Working at the boundary where Solid State Chemistry, Mineralogy and Materials Science Meet Materials Physics (4:00 PM - 5:30 PM)

-- Abstract: Until Recently, Solid State Chemists have often considered themselves to be the poor cousins of “real chemists”, even though they see the scientific world through chemical eyes. Also, typically, chemists view physicists as weirdos or otherwise as people to fear. Those things have never been the case for me, however, as being interested in both metals and rocks since my early days I have always been scientifically rich and view physicists as being the sources of great fun. In this talk I will present some of the materials that we have discovered that illustrate some simple ideas in materials physics. The materials are non-molecular solids, ranging from those displaying frustrated magnetism, to those stabilized at pressures that geologists would consider to be laughably low, to those that my colleagues in engineering are using to make qbits.
