Our paper “Electron energy can oscillate near a crystal dislocation” has been selected for the New Journal of Physics Highlights of 2017. Our paper, along with 7 others in “Condensed Matter Physics and Materials” cateogry,…

Our recent collaborative work has been highlighted at MIT Homepage! It opens up a new parthway that enables waste-heat to useful-electricity conversion through electron scattering engineering (instead of conventional phonon scattering engineering). Interestingly such effect…

Our recent study “Direct Imaging of Electron Transfer and Its Influence on Superconducting Pairing at FeSe/SrTiO3 Interface” has been accepted by Science Advances. It provides most straightforward evidence up so far of the charge transfer…

Starting Jan 01, 2018, DMSE graduate student Nina Andrejevic joins us. Warmly welcomed Nina!

Starting Oct 01, 2017, Dr. Fei Han from Argonne National Laboratory will join us as Research Scientist, bringing his decade-long single crystal growth expertise to the group. Welcome Dr. Han!

2016 Del Favero Doctoral Thesis Prize Lecture.

Aluminum used in nuclear reactors and other harsh environments may last longer with new treatment.

Our work on quantum dislocations is highlighted at U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Science Homepage!  along with MIT Homepage. By developing a theoretical framework of quantized dislocations, a number of materials properties affected…

Using neutron scattering methods, we were able to see proximity magnetism in real space – an important magnetism which could be used as low energy dissipation electronics. The comments from Prof. Qi-Kun Xue from Tsinghua…
