Becton326 @ Yale
Materials engineering in momentum space
We use momentum-resolved spectroscopies - photoemission, x-ray scattering, and electron diffraction - to discover, understand, and engineer physical properties of “quantum materials”. We take main residence in Rm 326 at the Yale Becton Engineering and Applied Science Center.
If you are interested in superconductors, thin magnets, ultrahigh vacuum, ultraviolet laser and/or the notorious reciprocal space, you have found the right spot.
We currently have completed graduate and postdoc recruitment for academic year 2024-2025.,
Welcome to Becton 326 @ Yale!
Why are certain materials better superconductors?
How does a metal get turned into an insulator?
Can a metal gain insulator traits, e.g. ferroelectricity?
Can itinerant electrons help make a stronger magnet?
How do lattice strain and domain affect magnetism?
How does 2D magnetism evolve into 3D?
