Job Description
DepartmentofMaterialsScienceandEngineering and DepartmentofPhysicsandAstronomy University of Tennessee Knoxville
Scopeoftheproject: Energy Sciences is to develop a magneticfieldpump neutronprobe scheme at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) and HighFlux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) of Oak Ridge National Lab. Such development of neutron scattering with time resolution will unlock experiments beyond the focus is on studying quantum tunnelingassisted spin dynamics in correlated magnets including classical spin liquid spin glasses and domainwall dynamics. Through the exploration of momentumdependenceofquantumtunnelingassistedspindynamicsthisprojectseekstobridge extensive theoretical knowledge with experimental results that are currently limited.
