The Excellence in Research Award is available to authors of published papers submitted in a select annual time period to those who are 40 years or younger. The winning articles have been selected by an external committee and are reviewed based on the scientific content. The selection committee would like to thank all the finalists for their contributions to the journal. READ THE PRESS RELEASE > FIRST PLACE WINNER Xuanyi Zhang is a 5th year PhD student in Department of Physics at North Carolina State University, under supervision of professor Divine Kumah. His currently research including oxide thin film growth with molecular beam epitaxy as well as structural, electrical transport and magnetic characterization techniques. He is particularly interested in investigating the microscopic origin of the novel spintronic and magnetic phenomena in epitaxial oxides via structural analysis and manipulating the structural distortion induced by interfacial strain and oxygen vacancies in epitaxial thin film to tune its physical properties.

READ MORE > SECOND PLACE WINNER Jin Hong Lee received his Ph.D. in Condensed Matter Physics at KAIST, South Korea in 2017. During the Ph.D. period, he investigated multi-step ferroelectric switching and antiferromagnetic states in multiferroic thin films. As a post-doc researcher, he worked for four years on strongly-correlated oxide interfaces and spintronic transport in metal/oxide hybrid thin films at CNRS/Thales, France. His research interests include metal-insulator transition, two-dimensional electronic states and nonreciprocal transport in oxide thin films. In this paper, the influence of epitaxial strain on noncollinear antiferromagnetic YCrO3 is investigated.

Her PhD work carried out with Lena Kourkoutis at Cornell University was centered on the development and implementation of advanced instrumentation for high spatial- and energy-resolution measurements of crystalline quantum materials in the scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM). Her research is driven by a desire to uncover and understand how the surprising atomic-scale realities of functional materials can be leveraged for future design and applications.
