We, O'Hara, Turgut, Ekin, received a DURIP award for THz studies of antoferromagnets.
Our laser amplifier is installed. Excited to do some spectroscopy in the near future!
A homemade low-temp ACMS on duty. Lets us know if you have some samples to test.
We study materials because we are curious about how materials show countless different properties. High energy physicists call the family of elementary particles as a zoo. Because they trap them in LHC and study them in a controlled way. We also study elementary and sometimes quasi-particles, but in a condensed matter environment, which is like a jungle, unlike a zoo. Our typical 1021electrons can behave violently in this jungle and result in magnetism, superconductors, topological insulators …
