MAP

Research Team

Italy: Rosalba Fittipaldi, Filomena Forte, Anita Guarino, Mariateresa Lettieri, Maria Teresa Mercaldo.
Korea: Yeongkwan Kim, Sunghun Kim, Sangjae Lee.

Project funded by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, grant number KR23GR06

AIM

A partnership between CNR-SPIN and the University of Salerno from the Italian side, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) and Seoul National University from the Korean side.

The MAP project started in 2023. This 3-year project aims to start a cross-linked research in the field of quantum materials with metal-insulator transition (MIT), as a platform for new electronics and sensors, and to strengthen the active collaboration. For this, we worked on three objectives: 1) determine how the MIT is affected by elemental substitution and strain by evaluating the electronic structure modification across the MIT; 2) single out the microscopic mechanisms behind the evolution of the magnetic order induced by doping and strain; 3) search for surface superconductivity in the doping-strain-temperature phase diagram.

Past Event

The aim of the workshop is to bring together members of the Italy-Korea MAP project along with leading scientists in the field of quantum materials, novel phases of matter and transport phenomena in normal condition, or under strain and doping
