Visit of Dr. Leonardo Martinelli and Dr. Izabela Biało

- 03 May 2024 -

Today, we were glad to have Dr. Leonardo Martinelli and Dr. Izabela Biało visiting our group. Leonardo and Izabela are currently postdoctoral researchers at Laboratory for Quantum Matter Research of the Physik Institut, University of Zürich. Leonardo gave an excellent seminar talk about their recent RIXS studies of spin, orbital, and charge dynamics in the cuprates. It was a great opportunity to learn about some exciting new physics!

RIXS beamtime at 41A

- 27 Mar 2024 -

Last week, our team visited 41A RIXS beamline at Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) for the second time. With beautifully cleaved single crystals, we obtained amazing dataset. Special thanks to our local contacts Di-Jing, Hsiao-Yu, and Jun. We look forward to visiting the upgraded beamline next time!
Here’s a picture of our hardworking student Yujie driving the experiment at midnight.

RIXS beamtime at 41A

- 12 Dec 2023 -

Our team recently visited Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) at NSRRC for the first time and conducted our RIXS experiment at the 41A beamline. It is amazing that the state-of-the-art energy resolution can be achieved with such a “short” spectrometer arm. Beautiful dataset has been collected during this beamtime. Many thanks to the beamline staffs and our remote team in Zurich! We are looking forward to coming back in the next spring!

Visit of Prof. Xiangqiang Chu

- 24 Nov 2023 -

Today, we had the pleasure to host Prof. Xiangqiang Chu from City University of Hong Kong as the speaker at our department colloquium. It was great to learn about applications of neturon scattering in biophysics.

Visit of Dr. Gediminas Simutis

- 07 Nov 2023 -

Today, Dr. Gediminas Simutis from Paul Scherrer Institute visited our group and gave a seminar talk in our department. Dr. Simutis is an expert in neutron scattering, μSR and X-ray experiments under extreme conditions. Thanks Gediminas for the excellent talk and discussions!

Qisi Gave an Invited Talk at the CPS Fall Meeting

- 20 Aug 2023 -

This year, the CPS Fall Meeting is held at Ningxia University, Yinchuan, China. Qisi represented our group and gave an invited talk at the “Strong Correlation and Superconductivity Physics” parallel session. It is great to meet many of our colleagues and learn about their latest research.

Qisi Gave an Invited Talk at the YGA Conference

- 04 Aug 2023 -

The 2023 Joint Annual Conference of Physical Societies in Guangdong-HK-Macao Greater Bay Area (YGA 2023) was recently held at City University of Hong Kong. As an invited speaker, Qisi presented our latest work on the charge and spin dynamics in cuprate materials in the “Condensed Matter Physics, Materials Physics and Engineering” session.

Visit of Prof. Johan Chang

- 30 Jul 2023 -

Last days, we are hosting Prof. Johan Chang from the Physik Institut, University of Zürich. Johan Chang is the leader of Laboratory for Quantum Matter Research and president of Swiss Physical Society. Johan gave a great seminar talk about their recent research on quatum matter using x-rays. Together we discussed exciting opportunities for collaborations. Thanks Johan!
