IIP-UFRN hosts workshop on Fermi-Surface Topology

Published Tue, May 03, 2016
Fermi surfaces hold a special position in solid-state science, since most of the physical properties of bulk metallic materials are driven by conduction electrons. Indeed, the universal Fermi liquid properties that characterize normal metals at low temperature result from the existence of a Fermi...
