Physical Society ColloquiumExploring quantum materials with heat, sound and chargeLouis TailleferUniversité de SherbrookeQuantum materials exhibit interesting electronic properties such as novel forms of magnetism, superconductivity and quantum phase transitions. I will provide examples of how in our lab we use the propagation of sound, heat and charge through materials to reveal and study such forms of collective phenomena. These will include vector superconductivity in a ruthenium oxide, the breakdown of the standard theory of metals in copper oxides, and the violation of the Wiedemann-Franz law at a quantum critical point in a cerium-based intermetallic.
