Description

Exotic phenomena in correlated electron materials, such as unconventional superconductivity, Mott transitions, non-Fermi-liquid behavior, and quantum criticality, often depend on a balance of competing interactions that can be studied by tuning pressure and strain. Topics include - Fe-based superconductors, cuprates, other oxides, heterostructures - Effect of pressure on Tc in unconventional superconductors - Tuning competing orders with pressure and strain - Effect of uniaxial strain on low-dimensional systems - Frustrated Mott insulators - Understanding mechanical vs. chemical pressure - Ab initio theories of pressure effects in correlated systems - Modeling pressure and strain effects
