In magnetic Weyl semimetals, non-trivial topological properties emerge below the magnetic transition, offering a potential way to control topology through temperature or, more intriguingly, via magnetic order if it can …
We are pleased to welcome in our group Hafsa Zeroual, Mathieu Loriot and Aaditya Vedant for their master internship!
Y3Cu9(OH)19Cl8, also coined as Y-kapellasite, realizes an original anisotropic frustrated kagome model. We studied large phase-pure single crystals, obtained via an external gradient method, by susceptibility, specific heat, thermal expansion, …
Brendan Le Pennec officially recieved his PhD diploma on July 1st during the 6th PhD graduation ceremony of the university Paris-Saclay. Congratulation! He had defended his thesis entitled « Etude par …
Philippe Mendels is the Grand Prix Scientifique Laureate for 2022 of the Charles Defforey Foundation – Institut de France for his leadership of the SQM team that led to the …
Muons are particles with a spin of ½ that can be implanted into a wide range of condensed matter materials to act as a local probe of the surrounding atomic …
The next Highly Frustrated Magnetism conference will be held in Paris from June 20th to 25th 2022, in the “Couvent des Cordeliers”, a historical landmark that belongs to Sorbonne University, …
The new material Li9Fe3(P2O7)3(PO4)2 is a rare example of a classical Heisenberg kagomé antiferromagnet that we have investigated using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and magnetization measurements down to low temperatures. Our …
Dipranjan Chatterjee is joining the group as a PhD student. He will work on the experimental study of quantum spin liquids under the supervision of F. Bert and E. Kermarrec. …
Our NMR study on Herberstmithite, the quantum kagomé Heisenberg antiferromagnet material that could host a quantum spin liquid, was recently highlighted on phys.org: https://phys.org/news/2020-03-unveils-gapless-ground-state-archetypal.html
