We study the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of select quantum materials, especially complex oxides. This materials class embodies many of the most fundamental contemporary questions pertaining to the quantum behavior of interacting electrons. Our research involves bulk single crystal growth, neutron and X-ray scattering as well as charge transport and nonlinear magnetic response experiments, and we engage in extensive collaborations with experts in the use of complementary experimental techniques. Most of our work is supported by the Department of Energy, Office of Basic Energy Sciences through the University of Minnesota Center for Quantum Materials. In addition, through a NSF MRSEC grant, we are using synchrotron X-rays to study electrostatically doped films of complex oxides, such as cuprates, cobaltites and titanates. Learn more.
