An ultracold gas plus one ion: advancing Quantum Simulations of in- and out-of-equilibrium many-body physics (PlusOne)

Start date: May 1, 2015, End date: Apr 30, 2020,

The concept of a localized single impurity in a many-body system is at the base of some of the most celebrated problems in condensed matter. The aim of the PlusOne project is to realize the physical paradigm of a single localized impurity in a many-body system to advance quantum simulation of in- and out-of equilibrium many-body physics. Our quantum simulator will consist of a degenerate gas of fe ...

Drastically reduced use of rare earths in applications of magnetocalorics (DRREAM)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

"We will examine the life cycle of rare earth metals used in magnetic phase change technologies. Our primary focus is on room temperature magnetic cooling, a near-market solid state alternative to gas compression in which a phase change “magnetocaloric” material is magnetised by a permanent magnet. We will address the fabrication, manufacture and use of the magnetocaloric material, aiming: (1) ...
