Team of Students, Alumni to Publish in Physics Journal

A team of three FSC students and two alumni have authored a paper to be published in the peer-reviewed journal, Physical Review Materials.

The paper, which you can read here, is titled: “Optimized in situ crystal growth and disordered quasi-one dimensional magnetism in Li2Mn2(MoO4)3″

The authors include:

Cristian Franco, a CSTEP student, is preparing applications for graduate school.

Bingying Xia has been accepted into a PhD program at Stony Brook University, with a full scholarship and stipend.

Alicia Baccarella is nearing completion of an MS in Physics at Queens College, and intends to pursue a PhD.

Francisco Burgos, a CSTEP student, will be doing a Senior Project with Dr. Jack Simonson’s research group.

Jose Nicasio, a former CSTEP student, recently completed an MS in Materials Design and Innovation and will pursue a PhD.

“I am grateful to work with my incredible Farmingdale student co-authors, whose individual scientific contributions made this project possible,” said Dr. Jack Simonson, assistant professor of physics.  “We hope our continued work on disordered, one-dimensional magnets leads to new understandings of quantum phenomena in energy-related materials.”
