Host
Prof. Ram Seshadri
Research in the Dutton group focuses on the synthesis and characterization of functional energy materials. In this talk I will present some of our recent results focusing on understanding the Jahn-Teller in NaNiO2 and understanding the low temperature magnetic behavior on the triangular lattice in Ba3Tb(BO3)3. In both systems the phenomena of interest are driven by ions on a triangular lattice and during the talk I will discuss how this impacts the properties observed.
