Physics Department presents Fermi Pasta Ulam Tsingou chain: Thermalization and anomalous conduction

Presented by Yuri Lvov, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Where: Room 801N, NAMM Building Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou (FPUT) chain is a simplified model of a one dimensional crystal, consisting of atoms linked by anharmonic chains. This model was introduced in the fifties of the previous century in Los Alamos to study heat conduction in solids. Despite the fact that

Physics Department presents Indirect Excitons

Presented by Leonid V. Butov, University of California at San Diego A spatially indirect exciton (IX), also known as an interlayer exciton, is a bound pair of an electron and a hole confined in separated layers. Due to their long lifetimes, IXs can cool below the temperature of quantum degeneracy and can travel long distances.
