Faculty

• Professor Philip Collins,  Nanoelectronics, Carbon Nanotubes, and Molecular Electronics including Sensors and Bioelectronics.
• Professor Michael Dennin, Nonlinear condensed matter systems.  Also biological physics.
  
• Professor Wilson Ho, Studying surfaces in physical, chemical and biological systems. This includes time resolved phenomena, single molecule imaging, and low temperature scanning tunneling microscopes.
• Professor Zachary Fisk, Strongly correlated electron systems, heavy fermion physics, magnetism and superconductivity, Kondo insulators, hexaborides, half-metallic materials.     Click here to visit Dr. Fisk's Research Group Home Page.

• Professor Herbert Hopster, Surface and thin film magnetism using spin polarized electron scattering.
• Professor Ilya Krivorotov, Nanoelectronics and spintronics, magnetism and spin dynamics in magnetic nanostructures.
  
• Professor Jon Lawrence, Experimental studies of heavy fermion compounds concerning crystal growth and characterization, thermodynamics, and spectroscopies ( neutron scattering, photoemission and X-ray absorption). Experiments are performed at Los Alamos National Lab, and at synchrotron light sources and neutron sources at the Stanford (SSRL), Brookhaven (BNL), and Argonne (ANL) National Labs.
• Professor William H. Parker, Vice Chancellor for Research, Department Chair.
• Professor James Rutledge, Experimental studies of materials at low temperatures. At the moment this work includes studies of the growth and properties of liquid helium films on solid surfaces, measurements of surface diffusion of solid hydrogen, and a search for techniques of doping solid hydrogen with reactive atomic impurities.
• Professor Zuzanna Siwy, Preparation of nanostructures and understanding their functioning is a big scientific challenge.
• Professor Peter Taborek, Phase transitions and kinetics of quantum fluids and solids at low temperature; materials science of thin films, particularly diamond and amorphous carbon.
