We welcome Zheng Ren as a junior fellow in the Rice Academy of Fellows program to join our group!
Congrats to Xiaokun, Mason, Yichen, and Yucheng on passing their candidacy exams this term
We had four people passing their 3rd year candidacy exams this past term. Congrats to all!
Congrats to our group members on winning all those end-of-year awards!
A great way to end the semester, we congratulate the following folks on their achievements this past year! Yucheng won the Chuoke Award as the third year PhD student! Ben and Trey (both freshman) won the SURF fellowship to work
Our paper reporting nonsymmorphic symmetry-protected band crossings in PtPb4 is published in npj Quantum Materials. Congrats to Han and everyone involved in this work!
Nonsymmorphic symmetry-protected band crossings in a square-net metal PtPb4 Topological semimetals with symmetry-protected band crossings have emerged as a rich landscape to explore intriguing electronic phenomena. Nonsymmorphic symmetries in particular have been shown to play an important role in protecting
