S7 – Superconducting and Magnetic Materials: From Basic Science to Applications

Superconductivity, magnetism, and their correlation to spin, charge, and orbital order parameters are the dominant research topics in quantum material research, from fundamental research to their large-scale energy applications. Developing both theoretical and advanced characterization tools to probe these multi-orbital systems with interacting charge, spin, orbital, and lattice degrees of freedom, rational synthesis of materials with enhanced functionalities, and developing new materials platforms to enhance device performance to facilitate their application in quantum computing and spintronics, are fundamentally very interesting. Meanwhile, they are equally important for large scale energy-relevant technology applications, including high power transmission, energy and information storage, THz and GHz electronics, and processing technologies.

This symposium will bridge fundamental research and device performance/applications. We will focus on recent developments in the materials discovery, synthesis, and advanced characterization, theory of their correlated properties, device fabrications, and the engineering of these materials for applications of superconducting, magnetic, and related materials.
