SUMMARY:Steady-state superconductivity in electronic materials with repulsi
	ve interactions
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Ollie Hart\, University of Cambridge\nHosted by: Clau
	dio Chamon\n\nPart of the Biophysics/Condensed Matter Seminar Series.\n\nWe
	 study the effect of laser driving on a minimal model for a hexagonal two-d
	imensional material with broken inversion symmetry.\nThrough the applicatio
	n of circularly polarised light and coupling to a thermal free electron bat
	h\, the system is driven into a nonequilibrium steady state with asymmetric
	\, nonthermal carrier populations in the two valleys. We show that\, in thi
	s nonequilibrium state\, interband superconducting correlations between ele
	ctrons can develop both for attractive and repulsive electron-electron inte
	ractions. We discuss how our results apply\, for example\, to a topical cla
	ss of materials: the transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). This work ope
	ns the door to inducing superconductivity in a range of materials that were
	 hitherto precluded from it.
