SUMMARY:Probing Topological Phases by Materials Design
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Joseph Checkelsky\, MIT\nHosted by: Michael Kolodrube
	tz\n\nPart of the Biophysics/Condensed Matter Seminar Series.\n\nAbstract:\
	nTopological Insulators (TIs) are a newly discovered class of materials in 
	which symmetry-protected conducting modes exist on the surface of a bulk in
	sulator.  They hold promise for realizing a variety of fundamentally intere
	sting and technologically relevant electronic phases\, ranging from quantiz
	ed magnetoelectric effects to device structures that support extremely high
	 thermoelectric performance.  Surprisingly\, removing symmetries from these
	 materials – including those that underlie their fundamental protection â
	€“ has proven to be on the most incisive ways of examining TIs and reaching
	 towards these exotic electronic behaviors.  I will discuss our materials o
	riented approach to breaking symmetry in TIs and the new behavior is has un
	covered with a focus on emergent quantum Hall phases.
