Class Objectives
/Class Outline
Strongly correlated electron systems and the measurements about thermal and magnetic properties will be lectured by Dr. Yoshifumi Tokiwa at Japan Atomic Energy Agency.

In this lecture series, I introduce low-temperature techniques essential for unraveling the novel properties in the physics of strongly correlated electron systems, such as adiabatic demagnetization cooling and dilution refrigeration, along with thermal measurement methods (specific heat, thermal conductivity, and magnetocaloric effect). I will discuss their application in recent studies of quantum critical phenomena, superconductivity, and novel excitations in frustrated magnetic systems. 
Class Schedule 1) Low-Temperature Techniques
2) Fundamental Properties of Metals and Magnetic Materials
3) Methods of Thermal Measurement
4) Quantum Critical Phenomena
5) Gap Structure in Anisotropic Superconductors
6) Novel Excitations in Frustrated Magnetic Systems

The lecture will be open in the end of September, 2024
