“The Winding Road from
Topological Insulators”
“Our research group studies quantum electronic phenomena in condensed matter. We are particularly interested in so called “low dimensional” systems where the electron’s motion is geometrically restricted by the efective dimensionality of the structure. This occurs in many physical systems, for example at the surfaces of solids, in nanostructures, and in molecular solids. We are currently exploring electronic phenomena in molecular solids that are derived from fullerene molecules, nanotubes and related carbon-derived structures. These provide a very interesting family of structures in which subtle changes in stoichiometry or geometry are known to lead to a wide range of electronic phenomena (conducting, insulating, magnetic and superconducting phases are known for these solids). We study how this range of properties depends on the microscopic structures of the constituents and how this behavior might be controlled at the molecular level. We are interested in better understanding the efects of strong repulsive interactions between electrons on the electronic properties.”
