DESCRIPTION:Dr Leslie Schoop\, Max Planck Institute for Solid State Resear
 ch\, Germany\nThe realization of new quantum effects in materials strongly
  depends on the discovery of compounds that can exhibit these effects. For
  example\, although first predictions were made in the 70s\, the field of 
 topological insulators only really grew after topological materials were d
 iscovered that could be studied. In order to create new materials that exh
 ibit new and exotic physical properties\, knowledge about the periodic tab
 le\, as well as common chemical concepts\, is extremely useful. If combine
 d with electronic structure calculations\, predictions of properties in ma
 terials become possible. In this talk\, I will explain how chemical concep
 ts can be used to identify new materials that exhibit extraordinary physic
 al properties such as high carrier mobilites\, high magnetoresistance or c
 omplicated magnetism.\n\nBio:\nUndergraduate degree from University of Mai
