Electronic Properties of Novel Electrically Conducting Systems
Naval Research Laboratory, DC, Materials Science & Technology
This research consists of experimental investigations on the nature of the effects of electronic structure and electronic interactions in conducting systems. Studies of thin films and bulk materials of magnetic semiconductors and transition metals, superconductors, semimetals, and intermetallic compounds as well as 2D materials are being emphasized. Experimental investigations involve the measurement of electrical resistivity, magnetoresistance, Hall effect, and magnetization as a function of temperature, magnetic field strength, and sample dimensions.
