An online seminar of the International Academic Cooperation project on the topic of Rashba's interaction, its derivation from the kinetic energy of the Schrödinger field, and the demonstration of linear quasiparticle dispersion was held on March 27, 2026.
The seminar is the second of two consecutive seminars dedicated to the problem of the connection of the Abrikosov-Bogomolny equations with the physics of topological effects. While the first seminar focused on the classical scalar case and laid the foundation for understanding self-dual vortex structures in type II superconductors, this seminar explores the Abrikosov-Bogomolny equations with the inclusion of spin degrees of freedom. The speaker: Mauro Doria, a member of the IAS project and a professor at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro.
A Participant of the IAC project, Professor Mauro M.Doria, has published the book ONE STEP TO QUANTUM MECHANICS (Mauro M. Doria, Ph.D., Yale University 1983, Full Professor, Institute of Physics, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (452 pages 33 Chapters, in portuguese)
The book is specially focused on the period that precedes the discovery of Quantum Mechanics that now, in 2025, completes one hundred years.
