Their findings, published in Nature Energy, demonstrate that spin-orbit coupling (SOC) inherent in these materials can be leveraged to boost OER activity, facilitating more efficient ...

Iridium-doped iron-cobalt (Fe-Co-Ir) alloys, previously identified through machine learning, have been shown to have enhanced magnetic properties, surpassing even the widely used pure Fe-Co alloy.

which requires elements with strong spin-orbit coupling, such as platinum and tungsten. "In contrast, our approach takes advantage of a novel fundamental phenomenon by using orbital currents ...

We are interested in exploring and modelling new quantum phenomena in 2D systems (spin-orbit coupled materials or unconventional superconductors). Of particular interest is to understand the role of ...

Although we do not address Majorana zero modes, our study provides a template for exploring such phenomena in a one-dimensional material with strong spin-orbit coupling," says Bampoulis.

More specific current interests include topological and fracton phases of matter, and solid state materials with strong spin-orbit coupling and substantial electron interactions. He is a Fellow of the ...
