Creating Artificial Magnetic Fields to Act on Neutral Atoms
for 18-22 and upwards,
Lectures | 18-22 and upwards | 9 years ago | 1557 views
Rating:

Cold, quantum degenerate gases of neutral atoms have proved to be useful in simulating the behavior of quantum systems like electrons in solids.  For example, cold atoms moving in optical lattices (periodic potentials created by interfering laser be....

Quantum Spin Hall effect in graphene

by José Luis Lado
Quantum Spin Hall effect in graphene
for All ages,
Arts presentations | All ages | 8 years ago | 5951 views
Rating:

The quantum spin Hall effect is a topological state of matter characterized by sustaining gapless chiral edge states together with an insulating bulk. This phase can be triggered out by applying strong magnetic fields in a graphene sample
