Igor Mazin, Professor of Practice for Advanced Studies in Theoretical Physics, Quantum Materials Center, Physics and Astronomy, is set to receive funding for the project: “Electronic, transport and topological properties of frustrated magnets.”
In this project, Mazin and his collaborators will examine frustrated magnetic systems.
Magnetic frustration lies at the core of the notion of skyrmions and quantum spin liquid.
Mazin will receive $258,480 from the National Science Foundation for this project. Funding will begin in May 2024 and will end in late April 2027.
