Dr. Erik Henriksen, Professor of Physics, Washington University in St. Louis

Inspired by the pursuit of quantum spin liquid-related phenomena in unusual magnetic materials, we are developing methods to measure thermal properties of single- and few layer as well as thicker flakes of atomically thin materials. We will introduce the Kitaev-type quantum spin liquid, review properties of the most promising material candidate to host it, and then motivate the need for thermal measurements and present our initial findings in magnetic materials.

Speaker Information

Erik Henriksen hails from Corvallis, Oregon, and attended Swarthmore College, graduating with a double major in Physics and Asian Studies. Following a few years as a research technician at Caltech and Columbia, he received his PhD from the lab of Horst Stormer at Columbia University, and then pursued postdoctoral work with Jim Eisenstein at Caltech. He joined Washington University in 2013, where he is presently Professor of Physics and Associate Director of the Institute for Materials Science and Engineering.
