Synthesis of Antiferromagnetic NdBi
The lab grew high‑quality NdBi single crystals using flux growth, checked their purity with X‑ray diffraction, and measured their electrical and magnetic properties with a PPMS and SQUID. Next, they will pressurize the crystals up to 2 GPa to study how pressure changes their electronic transport and Shubnikov–de Haas oscillations.
