DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Marc Vila Tusell (LBNL)\n\nAbstract:  The topic of 
 altermagnets has recently gained tremendous attention for the new physics 
 present in these magnetic materials\, as well as their potential impact in
  next-generation\, low-power electronics. In this talk\, I will show how m
 y work in developing intuitive theoretical models can give us invaluable i
 nsights into how the electronic degrees of freedom – charge\, spin\, orb
 ital and lattice – intertwine with each other in altermagnets. Such insi
 ghts not only allow us to understand these materials in a very transparent
  way\, but also predict unique phenomena\, including signatures in magneto
 -optical experiments. Importantly\, I will demonstrate that these models c
 an be applied to more complex materials\, as verified by first principles 
 calculations and experiments\, thus bringing the physics we learned from m
 inimal models to real materials. Finally\, I will share my research plans 
 as a Panofsky Fellow at SLAC\, namely\, how we can leverage such interconn
 ected degrees of freedom from my previous discoveries to design more effic
 ient and sustainable spintronic devices through a combined theoretical\, c
 omputational\, and experimental effort\; and how my research aligns with t
 he newly established Center for Energy Efficient Magnonics.Bio:  Marc Vil
 a Tusell completed his bachelor’s degree in Nanoscience and Nanotechnolo
 gy from the Autonomous University of Barcelona\, a Master of Research from
  Imperial College London\, and obtained his PhD in theoretical physics at 
 the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology in 2020. His PhD r
 esearch focused on the theoretical exploration of spin transport in two-di
 mensional quantum materials such as graphene\, transition metal dichalcoge
 nides\, and topological insulators. He then moved to the Lawrence Berkeley
  National Laboratory and UC Berkeley to work with Joel Moore\, where he in
 vestigated a variety of topics in condensed matter physics\, including alt
 ermagnetism. Currently\, he is a postdoctoral researcher at the same insti
 tution working with Sinéad Griffin\, combining theoretical models and fir
 st principles calculations to predict a variety of electronic\, transport\
 , and optical properties in altermagnets.Seminar Recording:  https://stan
