Group news

We have successfully organized an excellent workshop focused on Kagome materials! Engaging discussions and insightful presentations enhanced our understanding of the exotic correlated orders in Kagome metals.
Special thanks to all the volunteers who made this possible! more

This week, Prof. Tobias Holder from Tel Aviv University visited us. He presented his recent progress on quantum geometry, and we had a fruitful discussion extending our previous collaborations on quantum transport.

We had a fun group retreat at the Dieksee lakeside! We discussed the group's scientific development in the past year and enjoyed a boat ride across the five beautiful lakes.

This week, Nan Cheng from the University of Michigan visited and presented his recent work on the effect of real space curvature on wave propagation. We had intriguing discussions and enjoyed delicious Hamburg fish together. 

After this Wednesday, our master candidates, Ling, Kaize and Linus, have all completed their master’s thesis defence! Congratulations!

Our beloved group member, Kaize Wang, just completed his master's thesis defence yesterday successfully! Congratulations Kaize!

This Friday, Dr. Lunhui from Aalto University visited us. We had a fruitful discussion extending our previous collaborations on topological semimetals and enjoyed watching the UEFA match together! 

Our team member Roemer recently published his work, “Lifshitz transition enabling superconducting dome around a charge-order critical point,” on Science Advances. Congratulations, Roemer! more

This week, Prof. Kenneth Burch from Boston College visited us and presented the intriguing recent development of his group on nonlocal quantum tunnelling from a magneto-chiral topological superconductor. We had engaging discussions together, which led to many innovative ideas. Thank you, Ken! 

Our recent development of a unique methodology for measuring elastic modules has been published in Review of Scientific Instruments! We have introduced a novel approach and detailed workflow to carve crystalline resonators via focused ion beam milling from small and oddly shaped crystals unsuitable for traditional measurements of elasticity. Congratulations to all contributing authors! more

Our recent work has been published in Nature Communications! It revealed the semi-classical origin of the extreme magnetoresistance in PtSn₄ and showcased the importance of Ockham’s razor in uncommon magnetotransport phenomena. Congratulations to all contributing authors! more
