UNC Physics and Astronomy: CMT Candidate Research Chalk Talk

Topics for Discussion: Future Research and Teaching Plans; Funding Prospects

Speaker: Ling-Fang Lin, University of Tennessee

*Please note that these talks are open to faculty members only

Bio: Ling-Fang Lin is a postdoctoral researcher in Physics & Astronomy at the University of Tennessee, in Prof. Elbio Dagotto’s group, working on theoretical condensed matter physics. She earned her PhD in physics in 2020 from Southeast University in China under the supervision of Prof. Shuai Dong. She is mainly focusing on first-principles theoretical studies and model simulations of electronic properties, superconductivity, magnetism and ferroelectricity of strongly correlated systems. She has introduced a novel concept, the ferromagnetic “half-full mechanism”, to explain the origin of the ferromagnetic insulating state in the quasi-one-dimensional strongly correlated electronic system. Now, she is also working on the magnetism and superconductivity of the newly discovered superconducting nickelate systems. She is also interested in other interesting properties, such as block magnetic Mott insulating state, orbital ordering, etc.
