Sealing a tantalum tube requires high temperatures

Sealing a tantalum tube requires high temperatures… and eye protection.

Congratulations to Mohammad and his collaborators,

Congratulations to Mohammad and his collaborators, including Zihao! They report the magnetic and thermoelectric properties of a new compound: Eu21Zn4As18.

Congratulations to Hanshang and his collaborators!

Congratulations to Hanshang and his collaborators! They found a method to grow single crystals of CeCuSi for the first time and report their structural and magnetic properties.

Congratulations to Pranab and his collaborators, i

Congratulations to Pranab and his collaborators, including our former undergraduate researcher Journey! They solve a long standing debate about Iron-based superconductors by measuring the superconducting gap on Journey’s single crystals. The study is published in Nature Physics!

Congratulations to Rahim for graduating and gettin

Congratulations to Rahim for graduating and getting a job right away! We are proud to have you join the group of doctors!

Matt’s paper was selected as an Editors’ Suggestion and this is the fancy figure that was selected. Congratulations Matt and collaborators!

Congratulations to Matt and his collaborators, inc

Congratulations to Matt and his collaborators, including former Master student Davis, current graduate Yunshu, former undergraduate Andrew, and former REU student Henry! They performed a thorough study of the electronic structure of the unconventional superconductor LaNiGa2.

One of the best part of attending a conference is meeting with former students. This happened at the ICM conference in Bologna, Italy where I met with our former REU student Lexy Gillette! Lexy is now a graduate student at Oxford university. So proud of you!

Stelo’s crystals are getting larger! Some people

Stelo’s crystals are getting larger! Some people think that these are altermagnets. We are not so sure.

Single crystals! Rahim grew them out of lanthanum, chromium, iron, and antimony.

Congratulations to Rahim and his collaborators, in

Congratulations to Rahim and his collaborators, including Jeff, Hanshang and Jackson! This is the first report of an avoided quantum tricritical point. The article is published in Physical Review Letters as an Editors’ Suggestion!

Congratulations to Rong-Zhu and his collaborators,

Congratulations to Rong-Zhu and his collaborators, including Hanshang! They show that the strange metal behavior in alloys of CeTiGe3 is consistent with disorder-suppressed ferromagnetism.

Congratulations to Ashlee from the Kauzlarich grou

Congratulations to Ashlee from the Kauzlarich group and her collaborators, including our undergraduate researcher Max! They report on tuning the properties of an electride candidate material.
