Advanced scattering experiments on quantum materials

Log In
Our offices and laboratories located in the Science & Engineering 1 Building ( 5th Floor – Rooms 531 & 534 ) and the Houston Science Center (3rd Floor – Rooms 320 & 327).

LABORATORY 1

The ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) lab in Science and Research Building 1 (SR1 534) houses non-linear ultrafast instrumentation for ultrafast electron diffraction experiments. Our UED work focuses on understanding novel properties of correlated electron systems and how electronic, magnetic, and optical channels are related to atomic structure. UED is a pump-probe experimental technique that relies on a femtosecond laser as the operational workhorse. By pumping materials into the non-equilibrium regime and probing the decay back to equilibrium, we seek to understand how quantum degrees influence the atomic lattice dynamics of materials

Byron Freelon

Byron Freelon, assistant professor of physics, has been named a Fulbright Scholar for 2024-25, expanding his efforts to promote the representation of Black physicists while building the scientific workforce needed to interpret data produced by X-ray synchrotrons.

Uchenna Ubeh

Uche is from Enugu state in Nigeria where he graduated from the University of Jos with a bachelor’s degree in physics and a master’s degree in physics from Auburn University. He joined the eXn group at the University of Houston in the summer of 2021. He is interested in characterizing the structural and magnetic properties of strained 2D materials using x and neutron scattering techniques. In his spare time, he enjoys playing soccer, playing video games, cooking, and spending time with his friends and family.
