Theory of Spin Systems

Excited that our collaborative article, ‘Twist-tuned exchange and hysteresis in a bilayer van der Waals magnet,’ is now published in Nature Communications. Thanks to our colleagues from TU Darmstadt, NIMS - Tsukuba, and UCT - Prague for their valuable contributions and making this work possible. A special congratulations and thanks to our (former) postdoc Sonu, who led the theoretical efforts, and to Priyanka and Wenze from the Urbaszek group at TU Darmstadt for leading the experiments and the project.

Thrilled that our collaborative review article, 'Excitons in van der Waals magnetic materials,' is now published in Nature Materials. A special thanks to the colleagues at CUNY (who anchored this work), TU Munich, National Laboratory of the Rockies, and the University of Washington for making it possible and the enriching collaboration.

David-Leon Osifo has joined the group as a research assistant. He is a bachelor student in our department and will work with us on discovering new spin textures in two-dimensional magnets. Welcome David!

Jonas Leidner has completed his master program with an excellent thesis entitled “Magnetoelastic interactions uncovered using the spin-pair model.” Congratulations on this milestone, Jonas! We wish you all the best for your future and hope to keep in touch.

Bastian Gabillault has joined the group as a research assistant. He is a master student in the Quanteem program and will work with us on the theory of quantum non-demolition measurements in superconducting circuits. Welcome Bastian! 

Bashab Dey has won the second poster prize at the workshop: Chimera in the Alps for his poster entitled “Quantum Sensing of Nonequilibrium Squeezed-Magnon States via a Qubit”. Congratulations to Bashab, as well as co-authors Amey Rodge and Tarek Moussa!
