Abstract

The chemical fact that fluorine can render silver magnetic, similar to their periodic table neighbours oxygen and copper in CuO, suggests a proximity of silver fluorides to copper oxides. Indeed, recent experimental and theoretical studies have shown that AgF2 shares remarkable similarities with parent compounds of CuO based superconductors, paving the way to new high-Tc superconductors, yet to be disclosed, and exotic quantum magnetism, both with the addition of important spin-orbit effects.
The project is a theory experimental collaboration to develop these new materials

Goals

The main objective of the project is to establish transition metal fluorides (TMF) as a new platform for collective quantum phenomena profiting from the excellent past performance on cuprates.
