Luca de' Medici

I conduct research in Condensed Matter Theory, with focus on:

Correlated Materials
Unconventional Superconductors
Theoretical Methods for Strongly Correlated Systems

I am the happy recipient of an ERC Consolidator 2016 Grant, which will fund the creation of a new research group in LPEM@ESPCI on the theory of correlated materials with focus on superconductors and thermoelectrics, and its reasearch in the years 2017-2022.

See the relevant section in the menu at the top for more details and open positions in the group.

A few recent highlights

Research

Recent unpublished work from the ArXiv

"Thermomagnetic mechanism for self-cooling cables"

an application of thermomagnetic materials

Editor's suggestion on Phys. Rev. Applied

A chapter in the book "Iron-based superconductivity", Springer Series in Material Science: "Weak and strong correlations in Iron Superconductors" summarizing some of the recent work on selective Mottness in unconventional superconductors.

A recent review on Hund's driven electronic correlations.

The February 2013 issue of the Journal Club for Condensed Matter Physics was dedicated by A. Fujimori to part of our work.

A highlight from LPS-Orsay webpage: "Oxides are made of atoms, after all!" (version française: "Les Oxydes sont faits d'atomes, après tout!")

Past Teaching

- ViCom Winter School on Magnetism, February 2017, Vienna. Lecture: "Magnetism in DMFT"

- XIX Training Course in the Physics of Strongly Correlated Systems in the International Institute for Advanced Scientific Studies (IIASS) ,Vietri sul Mare (Salerno), Italy, October 2015. Lectures: "Modeling many-body physics in Fe-superconductors and other multi-orbital materials with the Slave-Spin mean-field: Mott and Hund's physics". (here are the notes).

Conferences organized

Together with J. Bauer C. Giannetti and D. Inosov we organized the International Conference NGSCES2013, held in Sestri Levante, 1-5 July 2013, the fourth edition of the successful gathering of emergent researchers in the field of strongly correlated electron systems.

Together with Marcelo Rozenberg, Massimo Capone, Agnès Barthélemy, we organized the International Conference "Edge Topics in Correlated Materials" (ParisEdge2010), which was held in LPS-Orsay and Collège de France-Paris on May 17-19th, 2010.
