Christopher Wiebe

Christopher Wiebe is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Physics & Astronomy at McMaster University. His research focuses on quantum magnetism, geometric frustration, and spin ice physics, with expertise in high-pressure synthesis and magnetic characterization of novel materials.

• Key research themes:
  • Quantum spin liquids and spin ices
  • Multiferroic materials
  • Breathing pyrochlores and double perovskites
  • Disorder effects in frustrated systems
• Recent publications highlight studies on NaTiSi2O6 (NMR), Lu2V2O7 (magnetoresistance), and Pr3Ga5SiO14 (kagome systems).

His work employs techniques like muon spin relaxation, neutron scattering, and NMR to explore magnetic ground states and excitations. Dr. Wiebe has contributed to understanding chemical pressure effects and orbital ordering in frustrated magnets, with implications for quantum criticality and multiferroicity.
