Macroscopic Quantum Matter

Our research concentrates upon the fundamental physics of exotic states of electronic, magnetic, atomic and space-time quantum matter.

Go say hello to our 3 lovely Post-Grad students presenting their posters at @IOP_Ireland #SpringMeeting for the Rosse Medal!

[School of Physics UCC @PhysicsUcc]

🥳On November 29th, Physics staff, alumni and students celebrated 175 years of Physics at UCC.

🌳 A Rowan Tree, known for protection and luck, now grows on campus for all Physics staff and students.

🌃Thanks to everyone that made the celebrations enjoyable!

Dr. Yan, a postdoctoral researcher, accomplished this by using an atomically sharp tip and high current to precisely remove each Caesium atom, positioning them outside the scanning field.👏

[SEFS@UCC @SEFSUCC]

CVS comprises layers of Caesium and Antimony weakly bonded together. In the STM's cryogenic environment, the top layer is cleaved, revealing a clean Kagome lattice with randomly scattered Caesium atoms. These atoms must be removed for a clear scan.

Researchers @UCC's Macroscopic Quantum Matter Group have used a Scanning Tunnelling Microscope (STM) to write "UCC" with Caesium atoms on a CsV3Sb5 (CVS) sample!🔬

🎉@UCC researchers have received a combined €2.9 million funding under the SFI-IRC Pathway Programme awards!

The awards will enable postdoctoral researchers to develop their career pathway and transition to become independent research leaders.

We wish farewell to Joseph Sheehan, CTO of @PhysicsUcc on his retirement. Joe gave 43 years service to UCC and was a highly respected colleague, friend and mentor to many people. The turnout at his retirement celebration last Friday spoke for itself. The very best of luck Joe!

Huge congrats to all @SEFSUCC students who conferred yesterday, especially Guido De Rosa who obtained a Masters in Science. Guido conducted his research with one of the @PhysicsUcc groups led by Dr. Andreas Ruschhaupt. We wish him well for the future!
