Professor Luengen's research at USF focuses on the cycling and bioavailability of trace metals. She frequently works in the San Francisco Bay and Delta, an estuary where there are elevated concentrations of many metals, including mercury. Mercury, in the form of methylmercury, biomagnifies up food chains, reaching concentrations in fish ...
Excitations in quantum systems govern their responses to intrinsic and extrinsic perturbations. Emergent excitations from the interplay between topology and correlation can drive new phase instabilities and enable novel device concepts. While a plethora of intriguing ground states are reported in two-dimensional flatband systems, it has been challenging to directly ...
