Physics Colloquium
Learn moreAbstract: Liquid crystals possess structural order that is intermediate between that of fully isotropic liquids and three-dimensionally periodic solids. Here, we explore the impact of liquid crystal order on the demixing of simple binary systems consisting of a small molecule mesogen and a hydrocarbon solvent. In the presence of appropriate mesophase elasticity, demixing occurs via…

Physics Colloquium
Learn moreAbstract: Conventional metals show at low temperature a scattering rate which is quadratic in temperature or energy. In “strange metals”, the scattering rate is enhanced at low energies leading to a linear dependence due to correlation effects. This is possibly related to strong quantum fluctuations which are also supposed to mediate superconductivity in cuprates and…

Physics Colloquium
Learn moreAbstract: Flocks of animals represent a fascinating archetype of collective behavior in the macroscopic classical world, where the constituents, such as birds, concertedly perform motions and actions as if being one single entity. Here, we address the outstanding question of whether flocks can also form in the microscopic world at the quantum level. For that…
