REU Topic: Condensed Matter Physics
Prof. Joel Moore
In this theoretical condensed matter project, students will study and model properties of quantum materials, such as copper oxides, which show a rich variety of quantum phases, including high temperature superconductivity [...]
Prof. Jeff Neaton
Using density functional theory and related methods, and working closely with experimental groups, we will explore the structure, photophysics, transport properties of novel quantum materials [...]
Prof. Zi Q. Qiu
In this REU project, students will learn the basic principle of Magneto-Optic Kerr Effect (MOKE) and apply MOKE to the study of magnetic ultrathin films [...]
Prof. R. Ramesh
We are exploring electric field manipulation of spins in a ferroelectric medium using dilute Fe^3+-doped PbTiO3 and other polar materials as model systems [...]
Prof. Mike Zaletel
When atomically thin layers of graphene are stacked with a relative twist between them, the moire pattern formed by the beating between their crystal structures generates an superlattice for the motion of the electrons in the bilayer [...]
