Emergent electromagnetism in condensed matter

Condensed matter

Foreword Physics and physicists play a vital role in underpinning our way of life, improving its quality and contributing in a major way to wealth creation. Innovations as powerful and diverse as the World Wide Web and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have emerged from studies in basic physics, becoming everyday technologies in just two decades. It is, therefore, a worthwhile challenge to specu...

Condensed Condensed Matter Matter Nuclear Nuclear Science Science

With recent publicity outside the CMNS field it has become increasingly important to clarify in non-specialist terms what is known and what is understood in the general field of so called Low Energy or lattice Enhanced Nuclear Reactions (LENR). It is also crucial and timely to expose and elaborate what objections or reservations exist with regard to these new understandings. In essence we are c...

Emergent Relativistic Effects in Condensed Matter - From Fundamental Aspects to Electronic Functionality

Recently a great deal of attention has been focused on condensed matter systems which have zero-gap electronic structures analogous to the massless relativistic particles. The Weyl semimetal, which is recently discovered, has a peculiar band structure characterized by the nodal touching points (Weyl nodes) and the topological surface bands connecting the Weyl nodes. In this talk, I introduce ou...
