"Ferroic orders and multiferroicity in defective quasi-2D quantum materials"
Abstract:
In this talk, a summary of some theoretical models of magnetic moments of isolated spins and magnetic order will be presented. Then other ferroic orders and multiferroicity as the simultaneous presence of two or more ferroic orders will be introduced. These concepts will be then framed in the recent study of ferroic orders and multiferroicity in alloys of the quasi-2D materials family of transition metal dichalcogenides, for which defects play a leading role in the appearance of such states.
"Electronic structure of quantum materials revealed through high-magnetic-field transport measurements"
Abstract:
In this talk, basic concepts around both, the electronic structure of solids, and the response of electrons under magnetic fields, will be introduced. These two concepts will then lead to explaining how high magnetic fields can be used at experimentally revealing the electronic structure of solids. A concrete example of the determination of the Fermi surface of a quasi-1D charge density wave and topological material will be presented.

Paula Giraldo earned her B.Sc. (2002–2006) and M.Sc. (2007–2009) degrees in Physics from Universidad de los Andes, Colombia. She completed her Ph.D. in Physics (2009–2015) at Stanford University, USA, specializing in the synthesis and study of quantum materials. She was later awarded the Jack E. Crow Postdoctoral Fellowship at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, FL, USA, where she continued exploring quantum materials under extreme conditions of low temperature and high magnetic field. Since 2019, she has been a faculty member in the Department of Physics at Universidad de los Andes, Bogotá, where she leads the Quantum Materials Laboratory, focused on investigating the fundamental properties of a variety of materials, including 2D van der Waals compounds, with electronic states such as superconductivity, charge density waves, ferroic states, and non-trivial topological states, among others.
