Physics & Astronomy Colloquium – Fall 2020 – Roberts
VirtualSpeaker: Amy Roberts (University of Colorado Denver) Title: The Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search Detectors: Pushing Lower Thresholds in Search of an Answer Abstract: A wealth of cosmological measurements suggest that non-luminous "dark matter" makes up approximately 80% of all matter. So far, the effects of dark matter have only been observed gravitationally. But direct-detection

Physics & Astronomy Colloquium – Fall 2020 – Mewes
Speaker: Tim Mewes (University of Alabama) Title: Magnetization Dynamics and Damping Abstract: The dynamics and the damping of magnetization are of paramount importance to understand and predict the properties of magnetic materials used in a variety of applications. For example, spin-transfer torque magnetic random-access memory cells (STT-MRAM) are expected to switch fast, reliably, and with
