Electronic Interactions in a Vacancy-Engineered Honeycomb Lattice - Transition from a Nodal-Line Semimetal to a Magnetic Insulator

Explore electronic interactions in vacancy-engineered honeycomb lattices through this 37-minute conference talk that examines the fascinating transition from nodal-line semimetals to magnetic insulators. Delve into the fundamental physics of how strategic vacancy engineering in honeycomb structures can dramatically alter electronic properties and drive phase transitions. Learn about the theoretical framework and computational approaches used to understand these quantum materials, including the role of electronic correlations in determining the ground state properties. Discover how vacancy defects can be used as a tool to tune the electronic band structure and induce magnetic ordering in otherwise non-magnetic systems. Gain insights into the implications of these findings for the design of novel quantum materials with tailored electronic and magnetic properties, presented as part of the Workshop on Frontiers in Quantum Materials.
