- Event time: 1:00pm
- Event date: 2nd July 2001

Event details
I will give a brief introduction into the physics of magnetoresistance and related phenomena, illustrated by several examples of layered manganese oxides. I will aim to explain how chemical and hydrostatic pressure can be used in order to modify magnetic interactions and electronic structure. Relevant experimental methods and theoretical techniques will also be considered. Promise to keep it all simple.
About Condensed Matter lunchtime seminars
This is a weekly series of informal talks given primarily by members of the institute of condensed matter and complex systems, but is also open to members of other groups and external visitors. The aim of the series is to promote discussion and learning of various topics at a level suitable to the broad background of the group. Everyone is welcome to attend..
