SUMMARY:Spontaneous synchronization: from fireflies to Schmidt-Higgs m
 ode in Superconductors\, R. G. Herb Condensed Matter Seminar\, Maxim D
 zero \, Kent State University
DESCRIPTION:The tendency to synchronize is one of the most ubiquitous 
 and at the
\nsame time mysterious drive in all of nature. In the intro
 ductory part of my talk\, I will show
\nhow the study of synchrony cou
 ld deepen our understanding of not only certain aspects
\nenormous con
 gregations of fireflies blinking on and off in complete unison\, but a
 lso
\nthe collectively synchronous behavior of 10^23 electrons in supe
 rconductors.
\nIn the main part of my talk\, I will discuss an example
  of spontaneous synchronization in
\nsuperconductors which are driven 
 out of equilibrium by a sudden perturbation.
\nThe particular focus of
  my talk will be on collective excitation of the amplitude (Schmidt-Hi
 ggs) mode
\nand how the dynamics of this mode changes in the presence 
 of disorder. Finally\, I will discuss
\nhow the phenomenon of spontane
 ous synchronization in conventional
\nsuperconductors can be probed ex
 perimentally.
