Arjun Pathak, assistant professor of physics, published the peer-reviewed scientific article “Magnetic Ground States of Ce3TiSb5 , Pr3TiSb5 and Nd3TiSb5 Determined by Neutron Powder Diffraction and Magnetic Measurements” in the Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter 33 (24). The article, coauthored by Buffalo State College student Randall Filippone, reports the fundamental understanding of magnetic ground states and electrical properties of ternary rare-earth-transition metal antimonides. This study helps to clarify a long-standing question of whether these compounds are superconductors, materials with zero resistance below a certain temperature. This work has been carried out in collaboration between Buffalo State, Italy, France, and India.
