Some papers for student presentations

Here is a preliminary list of possible papers you can use for your presentation.
First come, first served.
Claim yours with a comment below.
I welcome alternative suggestions.

You will have to give a 15 minute presentation where you
-summarise the key ideas and results of the paper
-relate the contents to what you have learnt in the course
-state things you did not understand
-any weaknesses you see in the paper

Marks will be based on
-quality of presentation
-level of understanding of the paper
-ability to relate the paper to what you have learned in the course
-ability to answer questions

  2. @ Shahd: yes, it works now.
    @ Ross: I would like to take the first one "Experimental observation of the quantum Hall effect and Berry’s phase in graphene".

  12. Just a question about the presentation length. I'm assuming as we'll have limited time to fit everyone in that the 15mins includes question time? Does this mean we should probably target our talk for only 11-12mins, particularly as the ability to answer questions is part of the criteria.

  13. I changed my mind i will take (Quantum criticality in heavy-fermion metals)
