We are excited to share our latest work published @J_A_C_S, where we show how the enhanced CF drives intermediate coupling and minimizes decoherence in Pr4+ based qubits. We report a small g=0.58 and a large hyperfine, A=1800 MHz in perovskite hosts.

We are very happy to see our latest work published @NatureComms. We are very excited as we venture in to understanding the electronic structure of Ln4+ and other intermediate coupled ions and its impact on macroscopic behavior of these materials. https://t.co/H1f0awAYgb

@InnaVishik That's an excellent point.

[Mourigal Lab @MourigalLab]

Flat bands with strong correlations often means exotic behavior. This is also true in quantum magnetism! Introducing our observation of 4- and 6-magnon bound states in FeI2: https://t.co/xLtPpY7bjT

@AlannahHallas Totally Simon's book for me + my own rambling on chosen topics. I love that one does not start with reciprocal space and in practice it works great. I can send you my notes if you want. Martin.

@advancedphoton @doescience That’s quite the news! Bravo Laurent!

New preprint from our collaboration with University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge’s Spallation Neutron Source on the spin-orbital magnet FeI2. We observed the mixing and decay between three type of magnetic quasiparticles, controlled by a magnetic field! https://t.co/ehsxuEcDAR

@ColinVParker Correlated, maybe.

A cheesy caption for this press photo would be: « Humans, a portal between real and reciprocal space ».

Former @MourigalLab @GTSciences graduate student Xiaojian Bai featured by @ORNLNeutrons. As part of his Ph.D. project, Xiaojian turned his attention to a simple material to find exotic quantum excitations where we least expected them!

[Neutron Sciences @ORNLNeutrons]

Researchers @GTPhysics, @UTKPhysAstro used neutrons @ORNL to solve a 40-year mystery behind iron-iodide's mysterious magnetism. Findings published @NaturePhysics could provide a map to unlocking a treasure trove of quantum phenomena in other materials.

@angrymaths What’s next?

[Mourigal Lab @MourigalLab]

@f_orbitals Last year’s group pic was very “Post Rock”. This year is more “Ska punk”.

[Mourigal Lab @MourigalLab]

Check out our new work on exotic magnetic correlations in the triangular-lattice quantum magnet TmMgGaO4, with @benfrandsen @ORNLNeutrons @NIST @ILLGrenoble @ResearchUTK published in @PhysRevB https://t.co/pEf6aWirB2

[Mourigal Lab @MourigalLab]

@angrymaths We are proud of you!

This morning, French public radio @franceculture discussed the impact of Covid-19 on research with a shout-out to @GeorgiaTech's testing and research efforts in that domain: @joshuasweitz @GTSciences @GTResearchNews. 🥖In French only🥐.

@BassiriGharb Yes, I understand. In some sense delaying everyone by one year is an easy (but perhaps inequitable) cost saving measure. As it turns out, the admin was planning to delay the customary salary increase associated with promotion, but they ended up reversing course.
