DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Nikita Kavokine\nhosted by Baptiste Coquinot (Lemeshko
  Group)\nAbstract: Liquids are traditionally described within classical ph
 ysics\, whereas solids require the tools of quantum mechanics. I will disc
 uss how in nanoscale systems\, this distinction no longer holds. The dynam
 ics of liquids confined to nanometer-scale channels can couple to the inte
 rnal degrees of freedom of the channel walls – in particular\, electrons
  and phonons. This gives rise to a liquid-solid Coulomb drag effect\, whic
 h holds promise for hydroelectric energy conversion at small scales. Conve
 rsely\, electronic properties of 2D materials can be affected in non-trivi
 al ways by the presence of liquids such as water. Using quantum embedding 
 calculations\, we have demonstrated that liquid charge fluctuations can in
 duce retarded pairing of electrons\, which then form an unusual bipolaroni
 c metal phase.
