Dr. Mandrus uses the experimental tools of materials synthesis and crystal growth to address cutting-edge issues in materials physics.  Recent interests include: (1) discovery and characterization of new chiral ferromagnets that may display electronic liquid-crystal phases; (2) discovery and characterization of new iridates in which strong spin-orbit coupling leads to Mott-Hubbard physics; (3) mixed phase phosphate electrolytes for intermediate temperature fuel cells.  Long standing interests include: (1) discovery and characterization of new unconventional superconductors; (2) discovery and characterization of new collective phenomena in transition metal oxides, especially involving slow dynamics, (3) neutron scattering investigations of exotic magnets, and (4) new materials for thermoelectric refrigeration and power generation.
