Our group is going to join the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Louisiana State University starting at the begining of 2009. See details in Material Science Program
Scholarships
Congratulations to both Diane Alvarez and Yi Li! Diane is a receipient of the graduate scholarship from Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. Yi is awarded with the Ecenomic Development Assistantship for pursuing her Ph. D. degree by Stephenson Enterpreneurship Institute at LSU.
News from En Cai
Congratulations to En Cai! She got her master degree in physics from FIU and is pursuing her PH.D in UIUC. Anne, good luck!
A new PRL paper published
Our another new PRL paper titled "Manifestations of Broken Symmetry: The Surface Phases of Ca2-xSrxRuO4" is just appeared here.
The new XPS/UPS setup grouped in our system
Our high-resolution XPS/UPS system has nicely integrated into our UHV Laser-MBE/STM system, which is able to determine the chemical composition, bonding information and electronic properties of in-situ grown correlated elelectron materials.
The most updated system with XPS/UPS setup
Group Overview
The research of Zhang’s group is exploring novel properties of complex materials like transition-metal oxides by the effects of reduced dimensionality and broken symmetry, with emphasis on the intimate coupling among charge, lattice, orbital, and spin degrees of freedom. Ongoing research projects include the phenomena at a surface and an interface of transition metal oxides and ordered polymer materials by using scanning tunneling probes, electron scattering, and photoemission; and correlated electron materials by using neutron scattering. Our work is supported by the National Science Fundation and Department of Energy.
