Explore manipulating competing orders with high-pressure techniques in correlated electron systems using neutron scattering. Investigate charge and spin stripes, superconductivity, magnetism, and electronic order in materials like high-temperature superconductors, transition metal oxides, ferroelectrics, heavy fermion systems, and multiferroics. Utilize advanced equipment like single-crystal XRD at low temperature, point detectors, and diamond anvil cells for precise analysis. Collaborate with experts in the field to study lattice and charge densities under pressure and doping effects.
