Among such theoretical models, a \u201ctoy model\u201d is one made deliberately simplistic in order to demonstrate new physical concepts and their underlying mechanisms. Such models have proven to be tremendously successful in offering insight in to new condensed matter phenomena including those involving electronic topology and correlation. We describe here our recent progress in experimentally realizing \u201ctoy model\u201d quantum materials which, in analogy to their theoretical counterparts, are designed to capture simple model systems by lattice and superlattice design. We detail developments in synthesizing and studying magnetic and superconducting materials that allow for new connections to long-standing predictions for unusual topological electronic phases. We close with a perspective for realizing further toy model systems in complex material structures.<\/p>\n<p>Contact: Ms. Zhong, +886-2-2789-8365, <a href=\"https:\/\/gate.sinica.edu.tw\/cgi-bin\/genMail?adr=aiting@gate.sinica.edu.tw&amp;\">aiting@gate.sinica.edu.tw<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">\uff08\u7269\u7406\u7814\u7a76\u6240\uff09<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6402\" src=\"https:\/\/newsletter.sinica.edu.tw/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/20191114-2-4-724x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"724\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newsletter.sinica.edu.tw/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/20191114-2-4-724x1024.jpg 724w, https:\/\/newsletter.sinica.edu.tw/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/20191114-2-4-212x300.jpg 212w, https:\/\/newsletter.sinica.edu.tw/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/20191114-2-4-768x1087.jpg 768w, https:\/\/newsletter.sinica.edu.tw/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/20191114-2-4.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Associate Professor, Joseph G.
