high temperature superconductor
materials that behave as superconductors at unusually high temperatures
Kondo effect
describes the scattering of conduction electrons in a metal due to magnetic impurities, resulting in a characteristic change in electrical resistivity with temperature
Hubbard model
in solid-state physics, a quantum lattice model of fermions with nearest-neighbor interactinos that describes the conductor-insulator transition
fractional quantum Hall effect
physical phenomenon in which the Hall conductance of 2D electrons shows precisely quantized plateaus at fractional values of e²/h
Mott insulator
materials classically predicted to be conductors, that are actually insulators
Electronic correlation
interaction between electrons, often complicating physical calculations
quantum spin liquid
a state that can be achieved in a system of interacting quantum spins
heavy fermion
intermetallic compound with 4f and 5f electrons in unfilled electron bands
