QMSI Special SEMINAR - “Symmetry Control of the Anomalous Hall Effect in Altermagnetic MnTe”
2026-02-11 11:00 - 12:00 (America/New_York)
“Symmetry Control of the Anomalous Hall Effect in Altermagnetic MnTe”
Prof. Alberto De la Torre Duran
Northeastern University
Feb 11, 2026, 11:00am – 12:00pm
Venue: Elliott Hall – Room 130C
147 South Bedford St, Burlington, MA
The seminar is both in person and online
Abstract:
Altermagnetism is a recently identified magnetic phase that unites the spin-polarized electronic bands of ferromagnets with the compensated magnetic order of antiferromagnets via unconventional symmetry operations. Controlling the Anomalous Hall Effect in altermagnets is fundamental for spintronic devices. In strained MnTe/GaAs films, the magnitude and polarity of the AHE were unexpectedly tuned by field-cooling (FC). Here, we present a combined X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD), circular dichroism resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (CD-RIXS), photoemission, and Raman study in thin films of the altermagnetic α-MnTe [1]. Our combined spectroscopy study reveals a symmetry reduction in MnTe/GaAs, allowing a non-zero Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction while maintaining the spin-split electronic and magnetic structure. We interpret the tunability of the AHE in terms of a novel term in the Landau theory enabled by magnetostriction. Altogether, our data demonstrates that substrate strain and symmetry engineering open a pathway toward next generation of magnonic and spintronic devices based on altermagnets

Chemical Engineering Spring Seminar Series: Randall Erb
2026-02-18 12:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York) | 108 SN
Realizing emergent properties in functional composite from directed assembly at the micro-scale
Location: 108 Snell Engineering Center
Abstract: In this talk, I will present my lab’s recent work on directing the assembly of nano- and micron- scale colloidal ceramic particles within composite materials. Through our approach, we are able to tailor the internal microstructure of composite materials and drive meaningful changes to extrinsic properties ranging from mechanical to thermal. In the mechanical realm, fiber orientation is a dominate factor in anisotropic property outcomes. We leverage colloidal forces ranging from shear alignment to magnetic alignment to control particle orientation. We have determined routes for applying these colloidal forces in situ to additive manufacturing. In this way, we can construct objects that have control over complexity from the macroscale down to the micron scale. We highlight examples from bioinspired structures to theory-inspired structures to hinder crack propagation and substantially increase fracture toughness. Within the thermal realm, we have investigated routes for controlling particle percolation pathways within thermal composites to program thermal conductivity pathways within manufactured materials. We have also pushed the limits of percolation through both volume fraction and post-sintering processes. During these studies we’ve stumbled across a new family of ceramics that are thermoformable (similar to metals and plastics). This thermoformability is reliant on the underlying microstructure which can be set into the ceramic material with new additive manufacturing processes developed in our lab.

Randy Erb is a Full Professor and Associate Chair of Research of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering and the Head of the DAPS Laboratory and the RF and Thermal Laboratory at Northeastern University. Randy’s research group focuses on multiscale synthesis and characterization of functional composite materials to impact diverse fields from structural composites to energy storage to thermal management. Randy’s research group has developed new forms of AM including 3D magnetic printing, 3D mineralization printing, and vibration-assisted, tape-casting DLP printing. He has received a Northeastern Translation award for converting fundamental scientific breakthroughs into successful companies.

Digital Twins for Printed Electronics: How Can AI Learn FHE Printing
2026-02-24 13:30 - 16:30 (America/Phoenix)
Benyamin Davaji, Assistant Professor in the College of Engineering, alongside Haiyang Yun, Senior PhD Student, will instruct a professional course titled “Digital Twins for Printed Electronics: How Can AI Learn FHE Printing” on February 24, 2026, from 1:30–4:30 p.m. MT. at FLEX 2026, the premier international conference for Flexible and Hybrid Electronics (FHE), taking place in Phoenix, Arizona.
Digital Twin is a virtual representation of the structure, context, and behavior of physical systems or a process, with a live link to a physical system serving as a key enabler for predictive and data-driven optimization. In Printed and Flexible Hybrid Electronics (FHE), manufacturing involves multiple interdependent variables—different printing technologies, inks, substrates, and process conditions—each introducing its own complexity. In practice, additional challenges such as equipment drift, batch-to-batch variations, and environmental fluctuations further impact process consistency and yield. Changing a process or transferring it between tools is often difficult, as each setup is highly customized and sensitive to local conditions. To address these challenges, Digital Twin frameworks connect data from design, fabrication, and metrology into continuously learning digital models. They enable early detection of process drifts, virtual experimentation for process development, and data-driven optimization that reduces time, cost, and waste.
This course introduces Digital Twin frameworks for FHE, focusing on Deep Neural Network (DNN)-based predictive models. Participants will learn how to integrate design, fabrication, and metrology data into continuously learning virtual twins that detect process drifts, enable virtual experimentation, and optimize manufacturing. The program covers the full workflow—from image processing and virtual metrology to AI model training, validation, and hyperparameter tuning—using real datasets. A hands-on “Build Your Own Digital Twin” module in Google Colab will provide practical experience in training and refining models for printed electronics applications, equipping attendees with both theoretical insight and applied skills for process optimization and performance prediction.
