George Trenins and Mariana Rossi of the Lise Meitner Group at the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD) have developed an efficient technique for simulating the impact of electronic friction on quantum atomic motion at metallic interfaces. Applying it to hydrogen atoms on copper, they explain the physical origin of…
An international research team, led by Akitoshi Shiotari of the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society (FHI, Germany), Mariana Rossi of the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD, Germany) and Takashi Kumagai of the Institute for Molecular Science/SOKENDAI (IMS, Japan) has successfully achieved the…
Mariana Rossi, head of a Lise-Meitner Excellence group in MPSD, has been awarded a prestigious ERC Consolidator Grant worth €2 million. The funding will support her project, “Steering the Quantum Dynamics of Confined Molecular Materials” (QUADYMM), over the next five years. The research aims to uncover how to drive the atomic motion of molecular…
MPSD Director Philip Moll has been elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) for his achievements in the field of microstructured quantum matter.
The renewed funding comes from Columbia University, the Flatiron Institute, the MPSD and the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz, Germany. The New York Center will also expand to include Cornell University as a new partner institution.
Researchers at the MPSD and Brookhaven National Laboratory used two-dimensional terahertz spectroscopy (2DTS) in a non-collinear geometry for the first time to isolate specific terahertz nonlinearities in the cuprate superconductor La1.83Sr0.17CuO4 by their emission direction. Their work has been published in Nature Physics.
With the ERC Starting Grant, Chunyu Guo will investigate the novel effects of electronic correlations in the recently discovered AV3Sb5 family of Kagome superconductors using a high-precision framework that isolates the samples from external influences.
George Trenins, a postdoctoral researcher in the Lise Meitner research group Simulations from Ab Initio Approaches: Structure and Dynamics from Quantum Mechanics, has been selected for a Humboldt Research Fellowship.
The workshop in northern Spain, organised by the New York City Center on Non-Equilibrium Quantum Phenomena, provided the perfect forum to discuss some key questions for the quantum science era.
The multiferroic NiI2 has greater magnetoelectric coupling than any known material of its kind, making it a prime candidate for technology advances, an international research team reports in Nature.
Researchers in the Cavalleri group discover that photo-excited YBa2Cu3O6.48, in addition to featuring near zero resistance, also expels a static magnetic field from its interior. Their work has been published in Nature.
A theory team from the MPSD collaborating with researchers in the United States and Switzerland has explained the key mechanism leading to terahertz amplification in the excitonic insulator candidate Ta2NiSe5. The work has been published in Nature Communications.
