Abstract
Understanding how observable properties of materials arise as a consequence of their structure and constituent elements is of deep fundamental interest, as it is a window onto the underlying quantum many-body problem. The multitude of complementary experimental probes and tuning parameters which can be used to study solids allows us to ask a variety of specific questions, and test predictions of the theories aiming to explain the resulting data. While there is no general recipe for the study of new materials, most often the first step is an observation which the experimentalists recognise as unusual. More experiments are done to gather information about the phenomenon, and theories are developed to explain it. In the most favourable cases, the theories motivate further experiments, sometimes inspiring new technological development, or perhaps the design of novel materials. Along the way new effects, which may or may not be related to the original one, are encountered, in turn motivating different new experiments and theories.
