Raman spectroscopy at extreme conditions

One of our core expertise is Raman spectroscopy of materials at extreme conditions (e.g. varying temperature, pressure, magnetic- and electric-fields). Raman spectroscopy not only probes lattice vibrations (phonons) but also can probe various other quasiparticles. In our lab, we use this technique to try to probe the phonons and their interactions with various quasiparticles in order to understand their fundamental role in various novel properties of materials.
