As we don't expect any snow storms this week, we will have the talk by Francesco Casola (group Ron Walsworth), which had to be cancelled two weeks ago. See details below. Please note that the ITAMP seminars will now be held on Thursdays.

ITAMP Topical Lunch Discussion

Date: Thursday, February 18th
Time: 12:00-1:30 pm
Pizza will be served.


Location: B-106 @ Center for Astrophysics (60 Garden Street)
Directions: after entering the lobby of the CfA, turn right to enter the hallway of the B building. In the hallway, turn right again, and B-106 is there.


Speaker: Francesco Casola
(Harvard)

Title:
Harnessing one (electron spin) to measure them all

Abstract: In recent years, the coherent manipulation and optical addressing of a single electronic spin in nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond has emerged as a potential non-perturbative tool to obtain nanoscale spatial and quantitative local information of condensed matter magnetism. In this talk I will present fundamental concepts and review recent results of space-resolved NV magnetometry in the study of novel spin textures and collective spin dynamics of correlated electron systems. Beyond magnetic sensing applications, I will finally present ideas and outline challenges to observe coherent interactions between NVs and fundamental excitation modes in collinear ferromagnets.

Dear all,

Due to the closure of the cfa, we will postpone today's Itamp seminar to another day.

Best,
Igor
