Low Temperatures and Cryogenic Engineering Department

Do you think that LTCE page is dead? Or may be LTCE Dept. is dead? We regret to say that we are still alive. The reason for keeping silence for one year is simple. We started several new projects and therefore was forced to work hard to show that granting bodies are not wasting their money. No time for Facebook – can you imagine? And now we are back!
First thing is our recent paper in Scientific Rеports

Again it is mysterious cerium hexaboride, which plays a role of a liquid crystal.

In mean time, we would like to remember some interesting conferences in the field of strongly correlated electron systems, which have been held in Russia during 2017 with important contributions of LTCE staff and students. See our publications below and have fun!

Cerium hexaboride challenges physicists to develop new theory Scientists from MIPT and other research institutes and universities have discovered unusual phenomena occurring in a single cerium hexaboride (CeB6) crystal. By performing an electron spin resonance (ESR) experiment, the researchers confirmed the status of the material, which has been dubbed an "exc...

Кто сказал, что ученые сидят в своей высокой башне и не общаются с простым народом? Не только общаемся, но и говорим, что творится с российской наукой благодаря усилиям «реформаторов». В общем, нас цитируют.
