Strongly Correlated Physics and Materials for Energy Technology

Materials where conduction electrons experience strong correlation in their dynamics, are both a challenge to the current quantum theories of matter and a mine for possible technological applications. High-temperature copper- and iron-based superconductors and heavy-fermions with large thermoelectric responses are examples of materials with high potential impact on energy transmission and storage technologies or high-magnetic field applications. Recently, the discovery that the well known atomic "Hund's rules" have a surprisingly great and diversified influence on the conduction electrons in d-electron materials changed the traditional view of electronic correlation as a competition between…
