Am 3. November 2025 um 14:15 Uhr findet das nächste Physikalische Kolloquium zum Thema "New emergent phases of unconventional superconductivity" im Röntgen-Hörsaal des Physikalischen Instituts und online via Zoom statt.

Unconventional superconductivity refers to superconductivity not mediated by phonons. The emergence of unconventional superconductivity often takes place in strongly-correlated materials, systems with unusual bandstructure properties, or materials featuring strong spin-orbit coupling. In this talk I will provide a general introduction to unconventional superconductors and showcase several new recently-discovered examples of systems believed to host exotic forms of superconductivity. I end the talk with two timely examples of work we have performed on the heavy-fermion compound UTe2 and V-based kagome superconductors.
