Magnetism and Superconductivity in Weyl and Dirac Materials

Explore the fascinating intersection of magnetism and superconductivity in Weyl and Dirac materials through this 80-minute lecture delivered by Prof. Collin Broholm from Johns Hopkins University at the Princeton Summer School for Condensed Matter Physics. Delve into the unique electronic properties of these topological materials, where electrons behave as massless particles, and discover how magnetic ordering and superconducting states emerge and interact within these exotic quantum systems. Learn about the theoretical foundations of Weyl and Dirac semimetals, examine experimental techniques used to probe their magnetic and superconducting properties, and understand the implications for quantum computing and next-generation electronic devices. Gain insights into current research developments in this rapidly evolving field of condensed matter physics, including the role of topology in determining material properties and the potential applications of these materials in quantum technologies.
