We just published a paper finally demonstrating that TiSe2 contains a Bose condensate of excitons. The experimental signature is a soft plasmon that falls to zero frequency at Tc. Bert Halperin and Maurice Rice nicknamed this phase “excitonium” in their 1968 Rev. Mod. Phys. paper to emphasize the physical picture of an exciton condensate as an electronic crystal. […]

Sean’s M-EELS paper finally published in SciPost
After 2.5 years of refereeing, Sean’s M-EELS paper was finally published in the open-access journal SciPost. This paper explains the reasons for developing the M-EELS technique and how it works. Read it here.
We’re on the cover of Nature Physics!
This joint paper spearheaded by Vidya Madhavan’s group shows the complementarity of M-EELS and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) experiments. Read it here.
Anshul’s paper on Cu-doped TiSe2 published in PRL
Anshul’s TiSe2Cux paper appeared in Phys. Rev. Lett.. This study shows that superconductivity in copper-doped materials is associated with an incommensurate phase, just as do materials subjected to hydrostatic pressure. Read it here.
