Research Assistantship Openings in Professor Dmitry Reznik Group Starting in the Summer or Fall of 2023:
Our group investigates quantum materials primarily using neutron, x-ray, and Raman scattering techniques. In these experiments incident radiation, such as neutrons, x-rays, visible, and ultraviolet light, scatters from single crystal samples to reveal information about the atomic structure, magnetic order, electronic spectra, and atomic vibrations. Neutron and x-ray scattering can probe both the atomic nuclei and electronic spins, while Raman scattering can provide complementary information about energy spectra. You will have the opportunity to work in a one of a kind Raman scattering lab with a time-resolution capability of 90fs, making it a powerful probe of materials relevant for quantum science. You will also be able to learn cutting edge neutron scattering techniques as well as advanced simulations and modeling.
As a Quantum Materials Investigator, you will have the opportunity to do research in a world-class laboratory on campus as well as at the National Labs in the USA, Europe and Japan. Our research projects cover a wide range of materials, including high-temperature superconductors, materials with strong interaction between electrical and magnetic degrees of freedom, spin-orbit systems, as well as energy-relevant hybrid perovskites and thermoelectrics. We are also exploring new research directions, including studying the nonlinear response of materials to strong applied electric fields.
