A Tale of Two Kinds of Superconducting Nickelates

Explore the fascinating world of superconducting nickelates in this 52-minute lecture by Frank Lechermann at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into the intricacies of two distinct types of superconducting nickelates as part of the "Engineered 2D Quantum Materials" program. Gain insights into emergent electronic, magnetic, and topological phenomena in two-dimensional synthetic structures of quantum materials. Discover how reduced dimensionality and frustrated coupling across 2D interfaces can lead to new electronic band structures and host emergent behaviors. Learn about artificially engineered heterostructures, including oxide interfaces, twisted van der Waals materials, and other novel moire or layered materials. Explore topics such as magnetism, topological superconductivity, flat bands, correlated phenomena, and quantum simulators using engineered 2D materials.
