Abstract:
Born in core-collapse supernovae, pulsars are highly-magnetized, spinning neutron stars, which emit highly directional electromagnetic radiation in beams above their magnetic poles. This produces a lighthouse effect: we see a pulse of radiation as the beam crosses our line-of-sight, repeating with each rotation of the neutron star.

| Event Location: BRIM 311 | Speaker: Mingxuan Fu
Multipolar moments embedded in a metallic setting paves a new route to extend the landscape of novel quantum phenomena beyond the spin-only paradigm [1]. A model material platform for exploring multipolar physics is the cubic heavy-fermion system PrTr_2Al_20 (Tr = Ti, V). This system features a nonmagnetic ground state in which the magnetic dipolar moment (spin) is absent, but higher-rank multipolar moments (quadrupoles and octupoles) are active [2].
