Diploma student's thesis published
Tuan Anh Pham co-author of paper published in Solid State Communications. The results of the dissertation thesis by Tuan Anh Pham, Diploma student in the Condensed Matter class of 2007-2008, have been published in Solid State Communications. Pham is first author, together witl Ralph Gebauer and Sandro Scandolo—both of the Condensed Matter Section and his former teachers—of the paper titled "Magnetism and vibrations in the phase ϵ of oxygen" (Solid State Communications, vol. 149, January 2009, pp. 160-162). Pham came to ICTP from Hanoi University of Education, Viet Nam. He is now studying for his Ph.D. at University of California at Davis.
