Looking for highly motivated individuals who are keen to work on superconductivity in thin films of lanthanum nickelates. The project encompasses thin film growth by MBE, ARPES and STM. For the full advert, see www.vacancies.st-andrews.ac.uk/Vacancies/W/....

That’s calcQPI, our code to calculate quasiparticle interference images, published. We find it indispensable to decipher our measurements! Find a survey of its features at www.arxiv.org/abs/2507.22137, the code is on GitHub at github.com/gpwahl/calcq....

Quantum materials making a stretch: giant magnetoelasticity driven by exchange interactions in Sr₄Ru₃O₁₀. Read in www.nature.com/articles/s41... how Carolina established control of the surface magnetization and probed it through Van Hove singularities. #evertoexcel @uniofstandrews.bsky.social

New preprint from CDQM at arxiv.org/abs/2505.07942: a study by quasi-particle interference and ARPES of the electronic structure of monolayer CrTe₂. Some of the first results from Olivia's STM4. Great collaboration with Naina, Akhil and King group.

Meet us and hear about our research at the APS March meeting in Anaheim:

Peter Wahl on 'Why the surface of Sr₂RuO₄ is not superconducting'

Carolina Marques on 'Exchange-driven Magnetoelastic Coupling in a Strongly Correlated Electron Material'

(for times see rb.gy/x6we8k)

Enjoying exciting talks and discussions at the retreat of the Centre for Designer Quantum Materials (www.cdqm.uk) at the Burn.

Our paper on how quasiparticle interference (QPI) can probe moiré electronic structures in twisted bilayer materials is out, bridging modelling of QPI imaging and electronic structure in twisted heterostructures! 🌀🔬
