Quantum phases of matter driven by strong electronic correlations in complex molecular crystals (2014-2018)

This project will provide understanding of organic materials where the physical properties are determined by the interactions between electrons rather than by the behaviour of individual electrons (as in the current generation of electronic devices). Such fundamental understanding would allow us to create radical new technologies that might change lives comparably to the benefits that silicon based technologies have brought us in the last few decades. This project will generate fundamental new understanding of the deep physical principles at play in strongly correlated organic molecular materials (with implications for technologies on the timescale of decades).
