This year's W. J. Carr Lecture Series on Superconductivity and Advanced Materials will be presented by Prof. Arthur Hebard from the University of Florida. Prof Hebard's research interests are focused on the fabrication and characterization of thin-film structures and are based on the recognition that unusual physical phenomena occur in restricted dimensions and at interfaces, for instance in magnetic and superconducting properties. His discoveries have been recognized by the American Physical Society’s award of the 2015 Oliver E. Buckley Condensed Matter Physics Prize to Hebard and collaborators “for discovery and pioneering investigations of the superconductor-insulator transition, a paradigm for quantum phase transitions.”

A Technical Seminar will be given on Monday, April 25 at 4pm in Toll 1201 (more info here), followed by a special Department Colloquium at 4pm in 1410 Toll (more info here).
