Jan Wyzula and Milan Orlita, University of Fribourg and LNCMI Grenoble. Magnons, or quantized spin waves, are collective magnetic excitations in solids. These boson-like quasiparticles disperse with lattice momentum k, [...]

Sergei Zvyagin, HLD Dresden. Antiferromagnetic materials with spin 1/2 and triangular-lattice structures are in the focus of modern quantum physics, in particular, in connection with Anderson’s idea of “resonating valence [...]

Amirreza Ataei and Louis Taillefer, Université de Sherbrooke, Canada, Cyril Proust and David Vignolles, LNCMI-Toulouse. In certain materials called “strange metals”, the electrical resistivity follows a perfectly linear temperature dependence [...]

Amit Pawbake and Clément Faugeras, LNCMI Grenoble. Spin waves (magnons) in magnetically ordered solids – ferromagnets or antiferromagnets – are collective excitations of an ensemble of spins. They propagate in [...]

Uli Zeitler, Steffen Wiedmann, HFML Nijmegen and Sergio Pezzini, Istituto Nanoscienze-CNR Pisa. The quantum Hall effect (QHE), a paradigmatic phenomenon of twodimensional (2D) electron systems in high magnetic fields, typically [...]

Tino Gottschall, HLD Dresden. We are witnessing a great transition towards a society powered by renewable energies to meet the ever-stringent climate target. Hydrogen, as an energy carrier, will play [...]

Alessandro Surrente, Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, Paulina Plochocka, Wroclaw University of Science and Technology and LNCMI Toulouse. The synthesis of colloidal nanocrystals with near-unity photoluminescence (PL) quantum yields [...]

Elena Blundo, Antonio Polimeni, Sapienza University of Rome, Adam Babiński, University of Warsaw, and Peter Christianen, HFML Nijmegen Strain plays an important role in two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors. Thanks to their [...]

J. Chang, Zürich University, M. Ichioka, Okayama University, D. Campbell, D. Le Boeuf, LNCMI Grenoble. In the physics of correlated electron systems, van Hove singularities play a key role. These [...]

Denis Gorbunov, HLD Dresden. Optical excitations in solids require conservation of momentum and energy. This applies also to magnetic excitations, when a magnon with a given momentum and energy is [...]
