The Electronic and Quantum Magnetism Unit currently searches for applicants in the following areas:
Graduate Students
Our unit is looking for motivated graduate students who are interested in Experimental Condensed Matter Physics and Materials Science and Engineering. We have two research directions in our unit. One is the development of single-crystal quantum magnets, and the other is related to collective spin behavior driven by surface acoustic waves.
We conduct our research through in-lab setups, common facilities at OIST, and also national/international user facilities, such as the Spallation Neutron Source, the Advanced Photon Source, and the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in USA. Our group utilizes a variety of probing techniques, covering essentially the full electro-magnetic spectral range in order to study correlated electrons and magnetism. The broad exposure of scientific research prepares students for future career opportunities in either academia or industry.
Research Intern Students
Interested undergraduate students of various physical science majors from other universities can contact the Unit head (Prof. Feng) directly. The formal application would be submitted through the Graduate School of OIST.
We have allocated all available slots of Research Internship up to Feb. 2026. We will consider hosting one interns along each of the above two directions from Feb. 2026.
Technicians
We might consider one technician who is an expert in IT, electronics, or mechanical design and construction.
