معرفی
Dr. Alex Amato is a researcher at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), leading work in the PSI Center for Neutron and Muon Sciences. His research focuses on advanced materials characterization using muon spin spectroscopy (µSR), gravitational-wave detector technologies, and superconductivity in novel materials. He has contributed to mirror coating developments for LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA detectors and pioneered non-destructive analysis techniques like muon-induced X-ray emission (MIXE) for archaeological and industrial applications.
Key domains include:
- Muon-based material studies
- Gravitational wave instrumentation
- Kagome superconductors
- Magnetic phase transitions
His publications from 2022–2025 highlight work on charge-order phenomena in kagome superconductors, magnetic crossover behaviors in topological magnets, and novel detector designs for particle tracking. Collaborations include major initiatives like the LIGO Scientific Collaboration and KAGRA experiments. His work integrates cutting-edge muon beam applications with high-pressure material studies, advancing understanding of superconductivity, magnetism, and quantum phase transitions.
