Xianglin Ke

Xianglin Ke is a Professor in the Department of Physics & Astronomy at Michigan State University. His research focuses on quantum materials with emphasis on topological materials, strongly correlated systems, and geometrically frustrated magnets.

Education:

• Ph.D. in Physics, University of Wisconsin-Madison (2006)
• Postdoctoral Scholar at Pennsylvania State University (2006-2009)
• Clifford G. Shull Fellow at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (2009-2012)

His work explores emergent phenomena in quantum materials through neutron scattering techniques and bulk transport measurements. Key areas include topological magnon bands, spinon-magnon interactions, and interfacial phenomena in oxide heterostructures. Recent studies investigate anomalous thermal Hall effects in 2D magnets and pressure-induced phase transitions in Mott insulators.

Scientific Awards:

• Clifford G. Shull Fellow

He employs solid-state chemistry methods to synthesize novel materials and combines neutron scattering with electronic/thermal transport measurements to characterize their properties. Collaborations with institutions like Oak Ridge National Laboratory highlight his research network.
