Welcome!

We are a group theoretical physicists and chemists in the School of Mathematics and Physics at the University of Queensland. We work on chemically complex materials where the interactions between the consituents drive novel collective behaviours. Some recent and current examples are:

Chemically complex quantum materials

• Uncoventional superconductors (particularly organic superconductors)
• Molecular quantum magnetism
• Metal-insulator transitions
• New physics on decorated lattices

Collective behvaiours of molecular scale switches

• Spin crossover materials
• Spin-state ice
• Chemical sensing via guest induced switching

Spin-orbit coupling in molecules and molecular materials

• Spin molecular-orbtial coupling
• Phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (PhOLEDs)

Some topics we previous worked on include:

• The Kadowaki-Woods ratio
• Melanin biophysics
• Ferromagnetism
• Ferromagnetic superconductors
• Na_xCoO₂
