We are an experimental condensed matter physics group studying quantum and strongly correlated materials, with a particular focus on magnetism and the collective phenomena that emerge from interacting degrees of freedom.
The name Spin+ reflects the way we think about quantum materials. Spin is at the heart of much of our research, while the “+” represents its coupling to other degrees of freedom—including charge, orbital, and lattice—as well as the complementary experimental approaches we use to understand them.
Neutron scattering is central to our research. Its unique sensitivity to both magnetic correlations and crystal structure allows us to directly probe spin arrangements, collective excitations, and their interplay with the lattice across momentum and energy space. We combine neutron scattering with complementary spectroscopic and materials characterization techniques to build a microscopic understanding of emergent phenomena in quantum materials.
Our goal is to uncover how interactions among microscopic degrees of freedom give rise to complex magnetic and electronic states, and to discover new collective behavior in strongly correlated systems.
We welcome students and collaborators interested in quantum materials, magnetism, neutron scattering, and spectroscopy.
