Mitrano Lab

Sophia successfully defended here PhD thesis on "X-ray probes of dynamical correlations in nickelates and cuprates"! She is the first PhD student to graduate from the Mitrano group, and in establishing tradition, received a graduation hat representative...

Matteo receives a 2026 Sloan Research Fellowship in Physics. Associated with $75,000 in funding for research activities, the Sloan Fellowship is given to early career researchers at US and Canadian institutions who are viewed as future scientific leaders...

Our new article, Symmetry-protected electronic metastability in an optically driven cuprate ladder , is now out in Nature Materials. In this work, we demonstrate light-induced electronic metastability protected by symmetry, offering a rational design...

Our new article, Magnetic excitations in Ruddlesden-Popper nickelates observed via resonant inelastic x-ray scattering , is now out in Physical Review B. Here, we investigate the layer-dependent evolution of electronic and magnetic interactions in...

Our new article, Beyond-Hubbard Pairing in a Cuprate Ladder , is now out in Physical Review X. In this paper, we use resonant inelastic x-ray scattering to measure magnetic excitations in a prototypical cuprate ladder, and find evidence for strong hole...

The Mitrano lab joins the OPTIMAL (Optical Control of Quantum Materials) consortium, with Professor Mattteo Mitrano as a Mercator fellow. OPTIMAL is a joint, intercampus collaboration between experimental and theoretical researchers targeting major...
