Dr. Gagnon’s second talk, entitled ‘The tragic destiny of Mileva Marić Einstein’, took place Monday, 29th January DIAS HQ, Burlington Road. Examining the biography of Mileva Marić Einstein, love letters between Mileva and Albert along with publications about her life and work, Dr Gagnon revealed the life and work of this forgotten physicist.

$Spin-resolved Topology in Quantum Materials Speaker: Giandomenico Palumbo (DIAS) Abstract: Topological insulating (TI) phases were originally highlighted for their disorder-robust bulk responses, such as the quantized Hall conductivity of 2D Chern insulators. With the discovery of time-reversal- (T-) invariant 2D TIs, focus has since shifted to boundary states as signatures of 2D and 3D TIs and topological crystalline insulators (TCIs). However, in T-invariant 3D TCIs such as bismuth, $alpha$-BiBr, and MoTe2 -termed higher-order TCIs (HOTIs)- the boundary signatures manifest as 1D hinge states, whose configurations are dependent on sample details, and bulk signatures remain unknown. In this talk, I will introduce nested spin-resolved Wilson loops and layer constructions as tools to characterize the bulk topological properties of spinful 3D insulators. I will show that helical HOTIs realize one of three spin-resolved phases with distinct responses that are quantitatively robust to large deformations of the bulk spin-orbital texture: 3D quantum spin Hall insulators, “spin-Weyl” semimetal states with gapless spin spectra, and T-doubled axion insulator states with nontrivial partial axion angles $theta^{pm}=pi$ indicative of a 3D spin-magnetoelectric bulk response.$
