Quantum Materials
A section of Materials (ISSN 1996-1944).
Section Information
The Quantum Materials section publishes novel scientific and applied research that significantly contributes to the understanding and discovery of quantum materials and related phenomena, functions, and applications. Quantum Materials are characterized by quantum many-body-systems in a typical form of strongly correlated electrons in solids that can give rise to novel and remarkable properties and functions, including Mott transition, high-temperature superconductivity, topological superconductivity, colossal magnetoresistance, giant magnetoelectric effect and so forth. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
Superconducting Materials: Novel superconductors, cuprates, iron-based systems, heavy fermion superconductors.
Correlated Electronic Materials: Mott insulators, magnetism in correlated electron systems, colossal magnetoresistance, multiferroicity and multiferroics, related theories and methods.
Topological Quantum Materials: Topological insulators/superconductors, Dirac semimetals and Weyl semimetals, magnetic topological insulators, topological heterostructures and devices.
Quantum Phenomena in Advanced Materials: Finite-size and low-dimensional systems, photovoltaic/light-emitting systems, photocatalysis, advanced energy generation systems.
