Physics department colloquium is Feb. 6


Following a brief introduction to the physics of graphene, I will present several more specialized topics related to the role of correlations. The unconventional features arising from electron-electron interactions will be discussed first, and then I will describe the problem of Coulomb impurity in graphene. Finally I will concentrate on strong correlation physics in the context of the Anderson Impurity problem for graphene, and the possibility of magnetic moment formation and magnetic phases.

The colloquium is at 4 p.m. Friday, Feb. 6, in 211 Witmer Hall. Coffee and cookies will be served at 3:30 p.m. in 315 Witmer Hall.
