G1.00001: APS Goes to ComicCon and Other Tales: Reaching out for Physics Invited Speaker: Kate Kirby Broadly interpreting the core mission of APS ``to advance and diffuse the knowledge of physics", APS carries out programmatic activities in Education, Outreach, International Affairs, Public Affairs, and Advocacy, which benefit the physics community as well as society at large. These programs are highly valued by APS members who know about them, but the challenge has been to find ways to effectively communicate to our members about all the good things we are doing. APS programs have also achieved significant recognition in the external community for their outstanding quality and success. I will describe several examples of how we ``reach out" to promote physics and physics education in a variety of venues. [Preview Abstract] |

G1.00002: Magnetization plateaux of frustrated antiferromagnets Invited Speaker: Oleg Starykh Quantum magnetism represents one of the fastest growing research fields of modern condensed matter physics. Numerous experimental and theoretical investigations in this field are driven by a relentless search for exotic spin-liquid ground states realizing seemingly paradoxical ``magnet without magnetism.'' Along the way several ordered but nonetheless quite unusual states of magnetic matter have been discovered recently. In my talk I focus on the simplest of them -- collinear spin configuration which supports constant magnetization in a finite interval of the applied magnetic field, thus realizing a magnetization plateau state.
