A new study by Rice University physicist Qimiao Si unravels the enigmatic behaviors of quantum critical metals—materials that ...

Physicists have observed axion quasiparticles for the first time in a two-dimensional quantum material. As well as having applications in materials science, the discovery could aid the search for ...

Now, two materials that possess properties that are truly extraordinary have been sandwiched together into a new quantum structure ... another never-seen-before quasiparticle: the Weyl fermion.

An axion quasiparticle results when the coupling ... Scientists have previously found hints of axion quasiparticles in other materials, but that evidence was indirect. In contrast, the oscillation ...

Dr Doddy Marsh In the new work, researchers did not find axions, but they were able to create a quasiparticle – an interaction that behaves like a particle – and this quasiparticle behaved ...

and phase transitions of novel materials systems such as high temperature superconductors (HTSCs or cuprates), topological insulators, “heavy” quantum materials such as iridates, organic materials for ...
