Scientists in the Condensed Matter Group include theory and experimental physicists who concentrate on various aspects of condensed matter physics.
These including magnetism, the quantum Hall effect, quantum oscillations, high-temperature superconductivity and heavy fermion systems. Go to our Research Areas page for a complete list of the group's research interests.
Group members directly support the user program and conduct fruitful collaborations with visiting scientists. Many supervise graduate students, introducing them to the professional world of research in high magnetic fields and helping to shape their careers.
The branches of the MagLab at Los Alamos National Laboratory and the University of Florida also maintain very active research programs and user activities in theoretical and experimental condensed matter physics. Distinguished faculty at both campuses collaborate with scientists at other MagLab sites.
The MagLab’s Condensed Matter Science Group hosts regular seminars featuring the work of visiting scientists. All seminars are open to the public and take place in Room B101 of the MagLab. View seminar events.
The physical properties of any solid material are determined by what happens in the quantum realm. How the electrons interact with each other, their surrounding lattice, any applied electric or magnetic fields, etc… will dictate properties such as hardness, ductility, strength or resistivity. The electrical properties of Mn3Si2Te6 can be altered by the application of strong magnetic fields causing the material to transition from an insulator to a metal. To understand the process behind this transformation, MagLab users employed infrared spectroscopy and high fields to illuminate the physical processes behind this behavior.
The CMS group hosts a Theory Winter School in early January every year. The program primarily targets advanced graduate students and post-docs who may apply from any institution, worldwide. Student will also be invited to present posters, and their expenses will be partially covered by the MagLab, the major sponsor of this Winter School. View Theory Winter School Event.
