Daniel C. Tsui's Lecture
Daniel C. Tsui's Lecture was founded in December 2003. Each year, Prof. Daniel C. Tsui, Nobel Laureate from Pricenton University, will invite a Nobel laureate or a world-class physicist to give a special talk in our Institute. The goal of the Lecture is to review major advances and discoveries in the speaker’s research field and discuss future development. The Lecture is of colloquium style and it is 60 minutes talk and followed by discussions. Besides the Lecture, we also arrange some discussions and possibly a condensed matter physics seminar for the speakers to interact with the local scientists.

The 18th lecture: The physics of superconducting transition temperatures
Weakly interacting electrons are metallic, while strong enough interactions generically lead to insulating spin and charge ordered phases. High temperature superconductivity occurs as a crossover p... 19-06-2019 -
The 16th lecture: Principles of spin-based solid-state heat-to-electricity conversion
Solid-state heat conversion provides practical cooling at low power levels and has the potential to recover waste heat at power levels below 1kW. The year 2008 saw the birth of a new field, spin ca... 09-10-2018 -
The 12th lecture: Tunable superconductivity and phase transitions by field effect transistor
Electric field is adopted to control physical performance via tuning the carrier density. Such controllability through an electrostatic doping greatly promotes the development of research and indus... 09-04-2018 -
The 10th lecture: Finding New Electronic Materials Using Concepts from Chemistry and Physics
"New materials give new physics" is a phrase that I hope people consider when they are working to establish research programs in condensed matter physics. New materials are usually introduced into ... 25-06-2015 -
The 9th lecture: A New International System of Units in 2018!? How my Nobel Prize Contributed to this Development.
The International System of Units (SI units) forms the basis for all measurements. With the Meter Convention in 1875 a worldwide system of units was introduced with prototypes for the meter and kil... 08-05-2015 -
The 8th Lecture : The physics of superconducting transition temperatures
Spintronics is a new field of research exploiting the influence of the electron spin on the electrical conduction. It is mainly known example as the giant magnetoresistance (GMR). 19-06-2019 -
