Canfield is an Ames Laboratory senior scientist\, a distinguished professor and the Robert Allen Wright professor of physic s and astronomy at Iowa State University.\n\n\nCanfield's research intere sts include the design\, discovery\, growth and characterization of novel electronic and magnetic compounds and the study of their electrical\, ma gnetic and thermal properties.\n\n\nAbstract:The design\, discovery\, cha racterization and control of novel materials is perhaps the most importan t research area for humanity as it moves into the 21st century. A myriad of societal problems concerning energy\, clean water and air\, and medici ne all need to be solved by the discovery of new compounds with dramatica lly improved\, or even new\, properties. The search for such materials re quires a blending of skills and mind sets that\, traditionally\, have bee n segregated into different academic disciplines: physics\, chemistry\, m etallurgy\, materials science. In this colloquium I will outline the basi c philosophy and techniques that we use to search for novel materials. Th ese include a combination of intuition\, experience\, compulsive optimism and a desire to share discovery.     \n\n\nIn the second half of the lec ture\, the specific case of superconductivity will be used as an example of one such search. Over the past couple of decades\, a growing sense of where and even how to search for new superconductors has been developing\ , with the discoveries of MgB2 and the FeAs based materials providing\, a t least for me\, clear guidance.\n\n\nThis seminar will be held exclusive ly on Zoom (955 5209 1021).
