I have been at American physical society meeting March 18 – 22. I did give a talk on Wednesday. I talked about recent our experimental results. I have enjoyed my talk. I also have enjoyed the other person’s talk.
About My talk, I focus on the multiferroic LuMnO3. Firstly, we were going to study magnetic structural analysis on this material. We had previous data from our groups, which shows evidence of new magnetic peaks. I actually did almost same experiment what they did. But I could not find new magnetic peaks, and then, we think about the different between previous one and my data. We had conclusion, after that we planned another experiment to clarify. On this another experiment, we found different phenomena unexpectedly, which had never been found anyone. We were excited. My paper has almost done. I need to submit as soon as possible.
What I am interested in the magnetic material which contain 5d transition metal. We physicist have studied mostly 3d transition metal, 5d is kind of new, we believed the property of 5d transition metal should be similar with 3d one. But truth is, they are totally different. We can expect new physics. I have already experimental data. I would love to finish analyzing as soon as possible.
This meeting reminded me the joy of physics. Let’s do physics, let’s do science!!
Before going back from Baltimore to Charlottesville, My Chinese colleague need to go to famous Chinese market whose is Greet wall supermarket. That supermarket is very good. If you are Chinese you definitely should go there. Also we can get some Japanese food.

After coming back to Charlottesville, I attended a christian group to see my friends. We have not seen each other for a while. I missed them. Today, we listen the talk about why we pray, how we pray. I am not Christian though, if you are Christian, you can pray whenever you want. Especially when you face with hard time. That is cool.
I heard we have a party later today. Already late though. I am not sure I can make it. I am exhaust today.
