Department Quantum Phenomena in Novel Materials
Condensed matter physics owes its richness and complexity to the fact that it is a many-body problem describing large numbers of atoms or ions. What makes this subject so fascinating is that although the constituent objects are usually well-understood, their cooperative behaviour is often quite unexpected.
Such emergent phenomena are especially interesting when they are quantum mechanical in origin and a number of exotic and unusual behaviours are found in the area of quantum magnetism and superconductivity. In this group we investigate these materials using predominantly the experimental technique of neutron scattering.
