Our paper on flat-band itinerant ferromagnetism in RbCo2Se2 is published in PRB: https://journals.aps.org/prb/pdf/10.1103/PhysRevB.103.165105 RbCo2Se2 is isostructural to the intercalated high Tc iron-based superconductor RbFe2Se2. Via a combined ARPES, neutron, transport, and DFT study, we identify the origin of the ferromagnetic

A number of us attended the virtual March Meeting this year. Ming gave an invited talk on nematicity and orbital-selective correlations in iron-based superconductors; Jianwei (postdoc) gave a talk on our work on topological phase transition in quasi-1d materials; Han

Congratulations to Jianwei for winning an APS Division of Materials Physics Post-Doctoral Travel Award to present his work on quasi-1d topological insulators at the March Meeting!

Our paper on nematicity in FeSe is published in PRX: https://journals.aps.org/prx/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevX.9.041049 It is also covered by Rice news release: http://news.rice.edu/2019/12/06/electronic-map-reveals-rules-of-the-road-in-superconductor-2/ In this paper, we report very detailed and fine measurement of the band structure reconstruction in the nematic phase of

Dr. Jianwei Huang has finally joined us from IOP as a postdoctoral scholar. Zhicai Wang and Hongsheng Pang both joined us this summer as undergraduates from USTC. Welcome new members!

Dr. Jianwei Huang will join us as a postdoctoral scholar in August! Welcome Jianwei!

Han Wu joins our group as the first graduate student! Welcome Han!

Ming is very honored to be selected as one of the 2019 Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellows. https://physics.rice.edu/news/2-rice-faculty-members-awarded-sloan-research-fellowships https://sloan.org/fellowships/2019-Fellows

Ming wins the 2019 IUPAP C10 Young Scientist Prize, and will give an invited talk at the upcoming APS March Meeting in Boston. C10: Structure and Dynamics of Condensed Matter

Ming’s new paper on ARPES studies of (Ba,Na)Fe2As2 appeared in PRL.
