Boldizsar Janko is professor at the  Department of Physics & Astronomy at University of Notre Dame, USA. The condensed matter theory group led by Prof. Jankó is actively participating in several major developments of this field, such as (i) spin control, manipulation and transport (spintronics), (ii) nanoscale superconductivity and magnetism in metallic and semiconductor quantum dots and quantum wires, and (iii) novel superconductivity (MgB2, high temperature superconductors) and magnetism (diluted magnetic semiconductors). Our theory projects within spintronics and nanoscience are performed parallel to and in close collaboration with the experimental research effort of our Nanoscale Interdisciplinary Research Team (NIRT). This team, led by Professor Jankó, brings together researchers from four institutions (Notre Dame, Argonne National Lab, University of Illinois-Chicago and Duke University), with complementary expertise in superconductivity, magnetism and semiconductor science and technology. Within the NIRT project our research focuses on hybrid materials, such as the submicron-patterned superconductor-diluted magnetic semiconductor bi-layers.

Prof. Daniel Braithwaite Works on the physics of strongly correlated electron systems, mainly rare earth or uranium based intermetallic compounds with the effects on the unconventional superconductivity and its interaction with magnetism. Also Works on the Extreme conditions of high pressure, low temperature, and sometimes magnetic field, to tune the microscopic parameters of the sample in order to explore the phase diagram and attain the new quantum phases we search for. Experimental studies require sensitive measuring techniques, if possible of various kinds, in order to gain as much information as possible. The measurements that are performed at high pressure include sensitive resistivity measurements, using low temperature transformers and lock-in detection techniques, but also specific heat and magnetic susceptibility (using an a.c. techniques). We also use more and more the powerful tool that is synchrotron radiation for high pressure studies and regularly perform experiments at the ESRF such as resonant absorption spectroscopy to determine valence change as a function of pressure, and even resonant magnetic x-ray scattering at high pressure.

Chiral magnets are currently the subject of intense investigations both because of their practical applications in technology and their interesing properties from the point of view of fundamental science. The applications exploit the charge and spin transport properties of a chiral magnet, which are strongly affected by the magnetic structure and thus can be controlled by the application of suitable magnetic fields. In addition, due to its topological nature, the magnetic structure of a chiralmagnet is protected against continuous deformations to homogeneous magnetic states, as ferromagnetic states. The chiral state can only turn into a homogeneous state through phase transitions that take place at definite points of the phase diagram. This robustness makes chiral magnets excellent candidates as the main components of spintronic devices and, for instance, they are specially suitable as the main components of information storage devices. Besides the applications, chiral magnets are very interesting objects from a fundamental point of view, as chiral symmetry and its breaking and restoration are ubiquitous phenomena appearing virtually in any domain of science, from elementary particle physics to astrophysics, and including chemistry, biology, and geology.

Session Topics Include (but not limited to) :

• Magnetic Skyrmions and Chiral Magnetism
• Chiral Induced Spin Selectivity (CISS) effect

Daniele Torsello is a Research Fellow at Politecnico di Torino, where he received his Ph.D. in Physics in 2020. His research is focused on the investigation of the response of superconductors to crystallographic disorder caused by high energy particle irradiation. These studies are aimed to: i) the understanding of the fundamental mechanism of superconductivity in novel materials such as Fe-based superconductors, 2) the optimization of vortex pinning in practical superconductors, and 3) the investigation of the radiation hardness of high-temperature superconductors for fusion applications.

Francesco Laviano is Associated Professor of Experimental Physics at Politecnico di Torino and received his Ph.D. in Physics in 2005. His recent research activity is mainly devoted to exploiting superconducting materials for renewable-energy applications. In particular, his team is currently studying the radiation effects on high temperature superconductors in view of their use in high field magnets for confining the plasma in compact nuclear fusion reactors.

Giuseppe Celentano, physicist, is a researcher at the Superconductivity Laboratory of ENEA (Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development) since 2000. His field of interest are the physics and technology of superconducting YBCO thin films and multilayer epitaxial structures on metallic substrates for the development of coated conductor technology. In the last decade, he started working on the development of HTS conductors for fusion magnets based on REBCO coated conductors.

Prof. Danko Radić works in the field of theoretical condensed matter physics at the University of Zagreb, Faculty of Science (PMF), Croatia. His research interests cover systems of anomalous dimensionality with broken symmetry ground state (charge and spin density waves), theory of phase transitions, nonlinear physics, nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS), NEMS qubits and quantum information. He keeps active collaborations are with the Institute for Basic Science, Daejeon, Korea, Chalmers University of Technology and University of Gothenburg, Sweden and Ruhr Universität Bochum, Germany.

The current scientific interest of Assistant professor Zoran Rukelj (University of Zagreb, Faculty of Science) is focused on the study of charge transport. This includes intraband and interband single- particle excitations as well as collective charge excitations such as excitons and plasmons in systems like quasi-two dimensional conductors, insulators and heterostructures, Dirac and Weyl semimetals, etc. The used techniques revolve around the semiclassical transport equations with the generalised energy and momentum dependent scattering within the so called memory function formalism.
