When many simple particles, e.g. electrons, interact, complex order can emerge. The solid state has proven to be the perfect stage for this to happen: interactions between various degrees of freedom, e.g. spin, charge and orbital, lead to a rich and diverse range of emergent phenomena with superc...
When many simple particles, e.g. electrons, interact, complex order can emerge. The solid state has proven to be the perfect stage for this to happen: interactions between various degrees of freedom, e.g. spin, charge and orbital, lead to a rich and diverse range of emergent phenomena with superconductivity, magnetism and topological order being prominent examples.
