Abbamonte Nonlocal Spectroscopy Group

Our group is devoted to the study of elementary quantum phenomena in condensed matter, such as collective excitations in interacting electron systems, electron-self organization in doped Mott insulators (viz. “stripes”) and other forms of topological order, and edge states and interface effects in oxide devices (see Research).

 

Our work involves a combination of in-house sample fabrication and characterization, and x-ray scattering experiments national facilities.  Most of our work is done at beam line X1B at the National Synchrotron Light Source at Brookhaven National Laboratory (Upton, NY), and Sector 9-ID at the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory (Argonne, IL).
