Searching for exotic superconductivity on the border of itinerant magnetism

In this talk, I discuss novel correlated magnetism found in layered compounds - specifically intercalated transition metal dichalcogenides. Density functional calculations show a highly unusual Fermi surface structure, and suggest an interplay of local and itinerant magnetism. The proximity of the materials to superconductivity is discussed. Furthermore, we demonstrate the possible control of the magnetic state via electrical stimuli, which could potentially allow access to metastable states.
