Non-technical summary:The symposium “NM03: Topological and Quantum Phenomena in Intermetallic Compounds and Heterostructures” at the 2021 Virtual Materials Research Society Meeting (April 17-23, 2021) provides an interdisciplinary venue for scientists at varying stages in their careers to share their research and establish new collaborations. It is the first interdisciplinary symposium on this topic at an MRS Meeting, drawing on scientists with training in Materials Science, Chemistry, Physics, and Electrical Engineering. The two-day virtual symposium features 48 oral presentations, of which 29 are invited speakers. 11 of the invited speakers are female and 9 are untenured junior faculty or postdocs. Speakers are drawn from all over the world, including North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Support by the Solid State and Materials Chemistry program and the Condensed Matter Physics program in the Division of Materials Research facilitates the participation of students, postdoctoral researchers, and junior faculty.Technical summary:Intermetallic compounds host a broad range of quantum, topological, and multiferroic phenomena, including chiral spin textures, Weyl and Dirac states, novel superconductivity, heavy fermion behavior, ferroelasticity, and magnetocaloric behavior. This diverse range of properties rivals that of the well-studied transition metal oxides; however, outstanding challenges remain in controlling stoichiometry and defects, fabricating atomically precise interfaces, and characterizing the fundamental electronic and magnetic structures. This symposium brings together experts to explore common themes across the various families of intermetallics, including Heusler compounds, lacunar spinels, Weyl semimetals, rare earth compounds, skyrmion compounds, and others. The symposium, support by the Solid State and Materials Chemistry program and the Condensed Matter Physics program in the Division of Materials Research, highlights recent advances in bulk crystal and epitaxial film growth, advanced characterization, materials prediction/design, and new device concepts for intermetallic compounds.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

非技术概要：2021年虚拟材料研究学会会议（2021年4月17-23日）的研讨会“NM03：金属间化合物和异质结构中的拓扑和量子现象”为职业生涯不同阶段的科学家提供了一个跨学科的交流场所这是 MRS 会议上关于这一主题的首次跨学科研讨会，吸引了受过培训的科学家。为期两天的虚拟研讨会有 48 场口头报告，其中 29 名受邀演讲者是女性，9 名是来自非终身教授或博士后。材料研究部的固态和材料化学项目和凝聚态物理项目的支持促进了世界各地，包括北美、欧洲、亚洲和中东的研究。学生、博士后研究人员和初级教师的参与。技术摘要：金属间化合物具有广泛的量子、拓扑和多铁性现象，包括手性自旋纹理、韦尔和狄拉克态、新颖的超导性、重费米子行为、铁弹性和磁热这种多样化的性能可与经过充分研究的过渡金属氧化物相媲美；然而，在控制化学计量和缺陷方面仍然存在突出的挑战，本次研讨会汇集了专家们，探讨各种金属间化合物的共同主题，包括霍斯勒化合物、空穴尖晶石、韦尔半金属、稀土化合物、斯格明子化合物等。该研讨会得到了材料研究部的固态与材料化学项目和凝聚态物理项目的支持，重点介绍了块状晶体和外延薄膜生长的最新进展，先进的该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
