Strongly correlated materials

Strongly correlated materials are substances where the electrons’ behaviors are highly interconnected, meaning they don't act independently. In such materials, the interactions between electrons significantly influence their properties, leading to unusual phenomena like high-temperature superconductivity, magnetism, or insulating behavior despite having the characteristics of conductors. These effects arise because the electrons' movements and spins are strongly linked, making their collective behavior complex and difficult to predict with standard theories. Understanding these materials is important for developing advanced technologies, such as quantum computers and new energy-efficient devices.
