We are happy to announce the schedule for the Flat Club meetings in Spring 2025. You can see the full list of participants here:

The field of strongly correlated physics revolves, traditionally, around two classes of materials: the heavy fermions and the cuprates. In both, there are signatures of a quantum critical point (QCP). The main features of both these QCPs can be understood by a simple picture of having a Mott…

Dr. Giulia Venditti obtained a highly competitive SNSF postdoctoral fellowship. The main aim of her project Xtra-Ordinary Vortices (XVORTEX) is to study the intertwining of topological defects and the topology of the electronic degrees of freedom in novel 2D systems.

On March 15th, Dr. Giulia Venditti gave a talk for the Flat Club seminar series entitled "The struggle of 2d superconductors". She discussed the practical challenges of observing the hallmarks of a Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition in real 2d superconductors, where screening…

We studied, in collaboration with the group of Michał Zegrodnik in Krakow, Poland, the possibility of correlation-induced superconductivity in twisted bilayer WSe2. Using a Gutzwiller approximation, we found a very unconventional superconducting order parameter: a mixed singlet-triplet p+ip d-id…
