Gaulin, Bruce - Physics - McMaster University Bruce Gaulin's neutron and x-ray scattering work established new ? temperature properties in exotic magnets especially those related to geometrical frustration. He is also recognized for leadership in North American neutron scattering. ------------------ Gaulin, Bruce - Physics - McMaster University Bruce Gaulin is known for his work on neutron and x-ray cattering from frustrated magnetic systems where a triangular crystalline structure prevents the magnetic moments from ordering, resulting in an unusual quantum mechanical ‘spin liquid’. Gaulin’s discovery of an entangled state in pyrochlore magnets has led to a large body of theoretical work aimed at understanding this exotic state of matter. He has also chaired many program committees at major facilities and his leadership has been crucial in building new instrumentation at the Spallation Newton Source at Oak Ridge.
