Drichko Lab
Raman Spectroscopy Group and Users Center
The Raman spectroscopy group is focused on studies of charge and spin ordered ground states in strongly correlated electron systems. Our current aim is to investigate them with Raman spectroscopy to find general behavior for materials of different chemical origin (both organic and inorganic).

Congratulations to Sami Muhammad for receiving the DAAD RISE Scholarship. Sami will spend his summer at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz in the Kläui lab.
Congratulation to Jesse for receiving an ICAM QuantEmX award. This award will support his visit to ISSP, University of Tokyo, laboratory of our long term collaborator Prof. Minoru Yamashita. Jesse will study charge ordering transition in organic Mott insulators under strain using resistivity and magnetic susceptibility. Jesse will join Natalia, who will be a Visiting Professor at ISSP for two month this summer.
Have we found a way to realize a RVB? Our paper on the interactions of spin, lattice, and charge degrees of freedom in a triangular spin liquid S=1/2 candidate k-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu2(CN)3 is on arxiv now: Novel Dipole-Lattice coupling in the Quantum-Spin-Liquid Material k-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu2(CN)3
Our paper on the energy separation of the lattice modes and vibrational modes of linkers in magnetic metal-organic frameworks Me-BIF (Me=Co,Ni,Cu) is published in The Journal of Chemical Physics: Raman scattering spectra of boron imidazolate frameworks containing different magnetic ions
Our paper with the group of Natalia Perkins demonstrating quantum spin ice fluctuations of Nd moments in Nd2Ir2O2 is now on arxiv: Ramification of complex magnetism in Nd2Ir2O7observed by Raman scattering spectroscopy
Our paper with Predrag Nikolic on electronic scattering of Nd2Ir2O7 and Pr2Ir2o7 demonstrates how Raman scattering can prove Weyl and Luttinger semimetals: Weyl-Luttinger phase transition in pyrochlore iridates revealed by Raman scattering
