个人简介

Fei Yen obtained his PhD in physics from the University of Houston in May 2007. His research interests are on the study of strongly correlated systems via measurements of their magnetic susceptibility, conductivity, specific heat and (or) dielectric spectroscopy under extreme conditions such as low temperature, high pressure and (or) strong magnetic fields.

研究领域

As of recent, we discovered a new type of magnetism based on orbital motion of protons (H+) [1]. This is in contrast to the mainstream study of electron spin, electron orbital motion and their spin-orbit coupling effects. In most hydrogen-based compounds, the electrons of the hydrogen atoms pair up with another electron of a host entity and the remaining proton(s) trace out current loops to yield a weak magnetic moment mp. For instance, as shown in Fig. 1, when an NH4+ cation rotates by 120°, three protons completely trace out a loop which generates an associated mp along the axis of rotation [2]. If two neighboring mp did not interact, then this topic would not be interesting, but they do. This is because the magnitude and direction of the angular momentum of the rotors and mp are linearly coupled. As the system is cooled and many of the other rotational (such as those of an entire molecule), vibrational and even phonon modes (which also carry angular momentum in crystals) become inaccessible, the remaining modes (proton orbitals) must therefore couple in order to conserve the total angular momentum of the system. Protons orbiting at similar frequencies in very close proximity causes orbital resonance.
