Probing Emergent Phenomena in Complex Oxides through Nonlinear Optics

Explore cutting-edge research on emergent phenomena in complex oxides through a 53-minute conference talk delivered by Venkatraman Gopalan at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into the application of nonlinear optics and other advanced techniques to investigate novel properties in engineered 2D quantum materials. Learn about the interplay between electronic correlations, spin-orbit coupling, crystal structure, symmetry, and topology in reduced dimensionality systems. Gain insights into the latest developments in artificially engineered heterostructures, including oxide interfaces, twisted van der Waals materials, and other innovative layered structures. Discover how these complex systems can lead to new electronic band structures and host emergent behaviors not found in bulk materials. This talk is part of a comprehensive program on Engineered 2D Quantum Materials, bringing together physicists and materials scientists to discuss topics ranging from magnetism and topological superconductivity to quantum simulators using engineered 2D materials.
