Ethan joined the QMD group as a PhD student in September. He will be investigating the dynamics of Mott insulators in the context of Research Unit OPTIMAL.
Justas recently received his PhD from the University of Warwick. He will join PhD students Zia Macdermid and Dimitrios Sapalidis in our effort to study quantum material dynamics in extreme conditions, using THz spectroscopy in a high pressure sample environment.
QMD group successfully completed a ten-days beamtime at SOLEIL synchrotron facility in France to explore the phase transitions of two Mott insulators: Cr-doped V2O3 and GaTa4Se8 under varying pressure and temperature.
