Purdue University doctoral student Yang Xu, lead author of a new research paper on "topological insulators," an emerging class of materials that could make possible "spintronic" devices and practical ...

Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though ...

Whether bismuth is part of a class of materials highly suitable for quantum computing and spintronics was a long-standing issue. Research has now revealed that the true nature of bismuth was masked by ...

A team of physicists led by The City College of New York’s Lia Krusin-Elbaum has developed a novel technique that uses hydrogen cations (H+) to manipulate relativistic electronic bandstructures in a ...

A new laser-based technique reveals hidden phase changes in quantum materials, helping scientists better understand and control them for future technologies In condensed matter physics, topological ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — The characteristics of a new, iron-containing type of material that is thought to have future applications in nanotechnology and spintronics have been determined at Purdue ...
