The ELASTO-Q-MAT initiative, embodied by this CRC/TRR 288, has the goal to understand, advance, and exploit new physical phenomena emerging from a particularly strong coupling between a material's elasticity and its electronic quantum phases. To this end, we will study the effects of elastic tuning and elastic response of various types of electronic order in representative classes of quantum materials that share a high sensitivity to intrinsic strain or externally applied stress fields.
News & Announcements
We are pleased to announce that on Thursday, May 2, 2024 our colloquia series will resume, beginning with a talk by Hideaki Sakai (Osaka University) at 16:00 in online format. Additionally, a special colloquium will be held on Friday, May 3rd by Adam Wei Tsen (University of Waterloo) in hybrid format at 15:15 (Frankfurt, Room Phys01.114).
Please mark the date for the 2024 Annual Retreat: September 19 to September 20.
Please note the recent publication by projects A10, A11 and B01 in Science, “Giant lattice softening at a Lifshitz transition in Sr2RuO4”, and its corresponding press release.
We are pleased to announce the 2023 Elasto-Q-Mat Autumn School (29.10.23 - 31.10.23) in Neunkirchen (Baden-Württemberg).
