Research Topics Include
- Emphasis on amorphous materials (e.g. low temperature properties of glasses) and strongly correlated electrons (e.g. Kondo insulators) - also biological physics.
- Time-Parity violation in magneto-optics. Fermi liquid Emeritus Zachary Fisk and non-Fermi liquid behavior in condensed matter.
- Ab initio calculations of surface phonons on metal surfaces, calculations of photonic band structures, optical interactions at nonideal surfaces, path integral quantum Monte Carlo calculations of anharmonic properties of crystals, and studies of linear and nonlinear surface excitations.
Theory of phenomena at surfaces, in ultrathin films, and superlattices.
- Theory of the interaction of probes with such structures.
- Relating the geometrical structure of molecules, proteins, and protein assemblies to their biological functions - also biological physics.
