Altermagnets—a novel class of materials characterized by zero net magnetization yet strong spin polarization—are emerging as promising candidates for next-generation spintronic technologies. At Q-MAT, we focus on the growth and characterization of high-quality bulk altermagnetic crystals, aiming to provide a platform for investigating their intrinsic spin transport and symmetry-driven electronic properties. These materials enable ultrafast spin current generation at terahertz frequencies without producing stray magnetic fields, making them attractive for robust and scalable spintronic devices. Their distinct crystallographic and magnetic symmetries open new possibilities for bulk studies of spin-orbit torques, memory, and logic applications.

Topological superconductors are a class of materials that combine the properties of superconductivity with nontrivial topological order. Unlike conventional superconductors, they host exotic surface or edge states that are protected by topology and are often associated with Majorana quasiparticles, which are of great interest for fault-tolerant quantum computing. Our work focuses on the growth and characterization of intrinsic topological superconducting materials, with the goal of exploring their fundamental quantum properties and underlying electronic structure. 

Layered magnetic and topological materials, including 2D van der Waals systems, are at the forefront of condensed matter research due to their tunable properties and potential for device integration. These materials exhibit a rich interplay between spin, charge, and topology, leading to phenomena such as quantum anomalous Hall effect, topological spin textures, and layer-dependent magnetism. At Q-MAT, we focus on the synthesis and study of these materials to uncover new quantum phases and functionalities that could pave the way for next-generation spintronic and quantum information technologies.
