Zhong Lin to discuss emergent phenomena in layered magnets on October 29

by Dr. Salsbury

Prof. Zhong Lin of Binghamton University’s Department of Physics will present “Probing Emergent Phenomena in Layered Magnets” at the Wake Forest Physics Colloquium on Thursday, October 29, 2026, at 4 p.m. in Olin 101. A reception will begin at 3:30 p.m. in the Olin lobby.

Lin will discuss atomically thin antiferromagnetic insulators and how magnetism interacts with topology and the crystal lattice. The talk will cover magnetic order that depends on whether a material has an even or odd number of layers, a lateral exchange bias effect, and spin-lattice coupling in transition metal phosphorus trichalcogenides.

Lin joined Binghamton University in 2022 after earning his Ph.D. at Penn State in 2018 and completing a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Washington. His lab synthesizes crystals, fabricates two-dimensional heterostructures, and performs magneto-optical measurements.
