Superconductivity
We're studying the mechanism of unconventional superconductivity in cuprate superconductors and exploring novel high-pressure superconductors using diamond anvil cells.
-
Electronic Structure
We use experiments and computational simulations to study the distribution of electron states in a variety of materials ranging from superconductors to low-dimensional devices.
-
Low Dimensional Materials & Devices
We're using dimensionality as a tuning parameter, making heterostructures of different materials and creating device structures such as transistors to explore fundamental physics.
-
Novel Glasses
We're working on understanding the glass transition and producing new glasses, such as pure aluminate, titanate and gallate, with high refractive indices and the ability to contain significant quantities of rare-earth ions.
-
Quantum Criticality
We're studying quantum critical points, which arise when phase transitions close to zero temperature are dominated by quantum fluctuations, and the emergence of superconductivity at these points.
-
Quantum Magnetism
We're studying how large magnetic fields can induce a form of antiferromagnetism known as a spin density wave and how this can be used to control the resistance of a metal in a high magnetic field.
-
Solid-Liquid Interfaces
We're working on electrodeposition and molecular electronics and on understanding and controlling ice nucleation using module heterogeneous nucleating agents.
-
Colloidal Matter
We use real space tracking to measure particle positions in colloids and to compare with model calculations. Thus, we can understand equilibrium and out-of-equilibrium physics relevant for the whole of condensed matter.
